I've lived with a roommate or significant other my entire adult life so I don't know what it's like to live alone, but according to these illustrations by L.A. based artist Yaoyao Ma Van As the single life can pretty sweet.
And even though the solitary life gets to be a bit lonely at times it seems the freedom, peace and quiet and ability to do things your own way more than make up for an occasional bout of loneliness.
So if you find yourself feeling blue about living alone take a gander at Yaoyao's drawings and remind yourself of all the great things the solitary life has to offer, like reading a book while you eat dinner. Sounds a lot better than awkward small talk about your day while sitting around the dining room table!
