For long I thought being alone was fine...

... and it was, kind of. At least I was satisfied with it. I couldn't see myself living in a couple with an adult, and still can't. But over a year ago, I've moved to a bigger apartment with an extra room. My first thought was of course to have a boy in there ;) but there was no practical way to achieve that :( Except for getting into a couple with a single mother, but I couldn't play this kind of pretend game for my own sake, so it was out of question. I eventually discovered that there was a local program to host asylum seekers at home, supported by our government (that is, virtually no legal risk). And that's how I've found myself living with a young Muslim man. (Not that it was my initial preference, but that's the natural outcome, it seems, when one can host just one person and isn't discriminating anyone). I'm pretty happy about it to be honest. Although he's not a boy anymore, he still has some boyish attitudes and partly compensates the lack of young friends in my daily life. What's more, he doesn't drink (all in all a good thing in my opinion), he's a hard worker and doesn't bring girls home. We have a friendly, non-sexual relationship, and that's great as far as I'm concerned. Obviously a few cultural differences to work on, but he tries his best to make him appreciated and help with the chores. He also pays around a third of the rent, if you wonder. So, if that's an option where you live, maybe you can give it some consideration. Lots of happy boys to you, FF mi lon. mute mije lili kin li lon. o sina kute e mi, mi ala wile, pilin pona mi li anpa e pilin ante.
