Can living alone ever be joyous?

I love my husband and I'm not at all sorry I got married.....but, I confess there are times I long for the days when I lived alone.
 
I enjoy my own company and in fact, I still need time alone pretty frequently - to decompress, think through things, ponder the mysteries of our existence, binge watch old re-runs of the X-Files or Firefly or Deadwood on Amazon (you know, the really important stuff), so I loved living alone. I loved the peace and quiet, the freedom to do what I wanted, when I wanted, how I wanted. I could decorate my house anyway I liked, I could cook whatever I felt like eating - or not, if I didn't feel like cooking. The benefits are many!
 
Having said that, I wouldn't change my current situation for anything. I love being married and I love being married to my husband, even on the hard days. I think the point is to make the most out of where you're at, when you're there. Life is constantly changing. Living on your own isn't any better or worse than living with someone - it's just a different state of being and there are benefits and drawbacks to it, just like with any other state of being.
 
You won't always live alone, so my encouragement would be to make the most out of the time you have while you've got it.
