uh, neighbors

When I moved into an apartment and I was alone for the first time in my life, it was difficult. I missed having someone to talk to, I thought a lot about why I ended up being alone at this point in my life. I'm not gonna lie....I was having a little pity party.........until I heard my neighbors.

The neighbors are a couple that share my bedroom wall. They are a typical couple, lovingly taking walks, walking their dog, etc. But, when sharing a bedroom wall with a couple, one is privy to the intimate part of their relationship. I'm not referring to their sex life. I just turn up NPR when that is going on. I'm speaking about the slamming doors, the arguing, etc. I don't expect that their relationship is any more troubled than other couples, but it is just troubled enough to make me think (as I'm lying in my bed)......it's not so bad being alone.
