I've been on my own for over 5 years and only now I truly realize what a blessing this is. At some point I felt that I needed a real job mostly in search of a busier social life. I work from home and not long ago I wanted to rent some office space in an attempt to separate my work from my spare time.
Not anymore. While renting an office may still be a good idea, I no longer feel that there's something wrong - me, alone at home all day long. I have learned to combine work and fun and I must say I don't really ever feel like working. It feels great to be so in control of your life, to do whatever you want whenever you want. I sometimes work all day long and the next day I do nothing. I go to the gym at 11am (trainer keeps wondering how I can be there in the middle of the day). I can socialize whenever I feel like. Of course I've had this same freedom since I started with my web marketing "career". Only now however I can clearly see what a privilege this is.
