Living With Someone

Living with somebody entails a lot of adjustments. It is not very easy to share a place with somebody whom you are at odds with. Furthermore, things can be very uncomfortable if the people around you are the very ones that you also work with. I guess, I am blessed to have had room mates who were flexible and understanding enough. The dynamics was really interesting because our personalities were very different. Each of us had our quirks just like with me, it’s having books strewn all over my bed. We had somebody who was obsessive-compulsive and there’s one who was a slob. One doesn’t want to be disturbed and holds Saturday mornings sacred. Some would wake up so early in the morning while others tend to wake up at noon. Trivial matters were ignored in order to preserve good relationships. In the end, there should be a concerted effort to make it work.
