Main reason why:
Because I know I’m not always perfect, and other people aren’t either, so I try to make living together easy, respectful, and comfortable for everyone.
I’m not fussy and little things don’t stress me out too much, so I’m pretty easygoing and low-stress most of the time. But I also understand that’s just my perspective, and everyone has different boundaries, beliefs, feelings, and routines. So I try to be genuinely considerate of the people I live with and adjust where needed. I’m not stuck in one “mode” either, if things need to get done, I’m proactive and helpful, if everyone’s having fun of courseee I’m there, if people need space, I fully respect it and if someone needs support, I’ll be there.
I try to be self-aware. Of course I’m not perfect and there are always things we don’t even realise about ourselves, so I’m genuinely open to conversations if anything ever comes up. I’d much rather someone bring something up early than have it quietly build into tension. Living together I can always have its little frictions, but I’m good at handling that respectfully, being mindful of noise and shared areas, communicating calmly, and keeping things non-confrontational.
I’m big on mutual respect and basic consideration, keeping shared spaces tidy, doing my part around the house, being considerate with noise/guests, and making things easy for everyone. I’m independent and have been for most of my life, and I’m busy with uni and work, so I’m used to managing my own responsibilities and routine, but I also care about the home feeling like a genuinely nice place to come back to.
And obviously most importantly, I’d like to think I’m a good, enjoyable person to live with. I get along with people easily, I’m here for a home that feels relaxed, friendly, respectful, and good vibes without drama. I’ve lived with a lot of different people and moved often, so I’m good at adapting to different environments and different personalities. I’m social but I can read the room. If someone wants quiet or space, I fully respect that; if people feel wanna have a yarn, well that my speciality clearly, and a bit of a laugh, I AM THERE. Up for anything. Overall I just try to make living together feel simple, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. Here for a good time, not a long time (:
