Manayunk

I have been living by myself for the past month in Manayunk and it has been every bit as awesome as I hoped for it to be. Unlike most friends, I have been a fan of living by myself. The fact that people wouldn’t want a place to live all by themselves kind of surprised me at first. I thought most people would enjoy the privacy and appreciate the freedom to literally live on their own terms. But turns out most people chose company over privacy.
Manayunk is a beautiful young neighborhood in Philadelphia. With its semi-detached houses with slanted rooftops, and several different high rising church towers in the skyline, it makes for an amazing picturesque view. This time of the year, when the leaves are goldening and the sky is blue, is a very flattering time for this part of Philly. The best part is that my bedroom window leads up to this slightly slanted roof top from where I can catch a leisurely glimpse of the scenery around me . What makes not having any human beings (I do have two cats) share my apartment so cool is that I can go out there anytime of the day, drink anything in any quantity while I am out there and come back and do anything anywhere in my house. Play any music at any hour, watch any crap, cook whenever I am hungry, eat as little or as much as I want to, take a shower for howsoever long I want to, and read cheesy crap on my bed from morning till night non-stop like a nerd if I feel like. I like freedom, obviously.
