When I lived in my apartment I had a daily routine that usually started around 7 PM, or sometimes whenever I got home until the time I had to leave for some reason:
1. Lock door, windows
2. Close blinds, turn off all lights but one small lamp
3. Crank up heater (if winter)
4. Vidya gaems
5. Porn
6. Movies, anime, Livestream, 4chan
7. Dinner
8. Repeat 6
9. Shower
10. Repeat 5 and 6
11. Read in bed
I was very secure in my routine. Honestly, I kind of miss it. I think this goes to demonstrate that introversion is DEFINITELY a facet of personality, and not a disease; I have adjusted to being around people almost all of the time, but I cherish these moments (like now) that I have alone.
It makes me think, especially now that I am dating someone, that perhaps I don't want a live-in partner like I used to think I did.
There have been days when I felt I wanted to break up with her and not date anybody else long term again, simply because it's not all I cracked it up to be and I miss my alone time. My routine....me. But I think that would be premature. I think I simply need to have my own space again in the near future so I can achieve the needed balance.
