I never thought i could live on my own until I broke up with my ex and as a result started living in nurses quarters. made me grow and realise I could live on my own.

as for being on my own for my own space, I can do it easily. DH and I use to do the long distance thing alot before Spock arrived and even though I could do it and be ok, I still missed him greatly and am actually in no rush to ever do it again.
