My living situation

This was the first time I looked for an apartment myself to rent. Didn't have much experience in that department and I thought it would be a harder task.. So when I found a good one in a week time, for a good price as compared to the market, clean and has all facilities, and the biggest plus was that it is a walking distance from my work, it made me suspicious as hell that I am missing some flaw, and that I will realise it after I had lived in it for a while. Especially that they easily brought the price down, that made me suspicious even more. I've been waiting to find out about this flaw for the last month, but aside from the pervy pigeons that come to the small window and watch me shower, I can't find any issues.. I guess i just got lucky!

I also particularly got lucky that none of the people i work with live in the building or nearby since the area is very close to work, i expected to see their faces around.. i actually made the effort to spend time around the area and in the building after work when I knew peooele would be going back home especially during ramadan when everyone leaves work on time and go home, JUST to see if someone lives in the building!! This is how much I'd hate it! I am very sure the watchman thought I was suspicious as hell showing up daily and roaming around lol.

But even if I got lucky, it doesn't feel like home .. Yet I didn't put any efforts in making it feel like home and I have been spending a lot of my time if not most of it outside..

I didn't/don't care much since i am not planning to stay in it for long.. but i hope next time I get an apartment, I will be able to make it comfy and cozy and be able to make myself want to stay indoors... because it looks like I have been programmed to live in cafes.
I used to live within a short walk from my work.
Close enough to go home and have lunch.
Problem was in weekends seeing work just down the road, last thing I wanted to see

@Robynthebeautiful Agreed! Whenever i am walking and see the building i feel weird like i am going to work and not going home

i find Apartments have Greatly increased in Rent and not only that there's a Silent Ban on Cigarette smokers whereas they don't want you , seriously but i sort of figured that one out , it seems owners of apartment buildings or house dwellings may have to pay increased insurance premiums if there are smokers in there dwelling or buildings of ownership , to give you some idea of prices on the west island of Montreal , Quebec , Canada
a studio apartment basically one room except for washroom 725 $ a month rent , a 3 and 1/2 apartment 925 $ a month , seriously its Ridiculous

@NerdyPotato There is nothing wrong with it but this is not my nature. I love to stay indoors and even when i am outside i do solitary activities so it is not like i socialize. There is nothing wrong as long as the house doesn't feel depressing and you feel you want to stay outside all the time.
@BittersweetPotato true. I hope you can turn your house into a home. 🤗
Cafes do remind me a lot of you actually. It'd be lovely sitting with you in a Cafe ☺️

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Could be very possible actually, you listened to my whatsapp?
@BittersweetPotato Yes lol now everyone will know haha. I will reply to it but overall I would really love to do that it's an easy yes 🤗 I wouldn't want to miss that.

It does sound a lucky find.

And given your anticipated departure, it would seem wasted effort trying to make it feel like home. I'm sure once you have a place you anticipate staying in, that will change.

Ofc cafe life is pretty addictive

Home for you is a few thousand kilometres to the west, but the rent will be more...
Plenty of cafes in Canada 🇨🇦

@TheSirfurryanimalWales not the issue. I don't want to spend my life in cafes

@SW-User she lives in a hole in the ground. That's where potatoes normally live.
