25 Magical Illustrations That Show Living Alone Can Be A Great Experience

25 Magical Illustrations That Show Living Alone Can Be A Great Experience

Emma Boyd  | 2 years ago
Each one of us seeks happiness in our own way. While you may find comfort in sharing, others like to have their own space. This is exactly what the LA-based artist Yaoyao Ma Van wants people to understand. Contrary to the popular belief, she lives alone and she loves every second of it. Let's have a look at her colorful illustration series.

1. Dancing Without a Care In The World

Sometimes it is refreshing to throw on some happy music and dance around while you do some chores. When you live alone, you can pick whatever music you like and not worry about anyone being annoyed.

You might have to worry about your dog judging your dance moves, but they will still love you even if you have no rhythm. 

2. Marking Your Territory

As she lives with a pup, she isn't shy about adapting to one of the dog's habits of marking her territory.

Everyone loses hair in the shower, and when you live alone you can use it to make wall art instead of having to clean it up. 

3. Binge Eating Whenever Your Heart Wants It

Sometimes you just want to stay in and enjoy a ton of junk-food without judgment. Who doesn't love to order a bunch of Chinese food and binge a whole season of The Office​?

4. Being Clumsy

When you are living alone, you do whatever pleases you and it means doing everything.

There is no one to judge you (in artist's case the doggo seems confused), but she doesn't care as she knows that being a little awkward won't hurt anyone.

5. Having an Amazing Party By Yourself

Are you a party animal? Living alone gives you the freedom to enjoy yourself for as long as you want it.

You can wear weird clothes and do crazy things, such as you can be your own DJ, bartender, and dance like crazy all night.

Thanks to our hectic lifestyles, most of us are unable to enjoy even a few moments of peacefulness in our lives.

When you are living with someone or sharing your apartment, it can become tough to get a relaxing bath.

Living with a dog is a truly special experience. It is a ride filled with so many "Awww" moments and many hugs and kisses.

11. Enjoying The Rain with a Hot Cup of Tea

Some people enjoy rainy days by dancing outside, by feeling the cold drops of rain on their body, or by standing in the rain with their arms wide open.

Our busy lives have deprived us of enjoying ourselves. We no longer enjoy things that hold little value.

Dogs are so friendly, loving, and gentle that they'll even lay still to make sure you don't get disturbed.

15. Treating Yourself with Lots of Cookies

Another perk of living alone is that you won't have to share your favorite things with others. It's okay to feel greedy about your personal belongings, especially food.

Going for morning walks with your hands-free and high-volume music can be helpful, but try something else.

Living with someone can somewhat force you to wash your clothes even if you don't want to do it.
