If I could have it my way, this is the kind of house I want. Isolated from the prying eyes of nosy neighbors, and certainly requires effort to get to, enough to discourage people from attempting any surprise visit.

My siblings say that I am becoming reclusive or solitary due to my age, and the fact that I am still single. But that is not the case. Even as a child, I was never in need of company. I did not require the presence of other children in order to entertain myself. I would read books, or simply go about taking long walks or playing by myself. But this does not mean that I am not a team player. When the situation/occasion calls for it, I am ready and willing to cooperate.

However, whenever my private time is concerned, I want it to be uninterrupted and mine alone. I am friendly outside my home. But when I do retreat inside the four walls of my house, I leave everything behind. And no matter what the reason is, if you come to my home, I will always feel violated. I hope before I turn 50, I would be able to buy a house of my own. I cannot stay in the same roof as my siblings because they are a lot more sociable than I am. And it would be unfair to all of them if they have to cut-off whatever social life just because of me.

It is weird, I guess that is how people would see me. But this is who I am and my personal time, is sacred. So, if you want to infuriate me, this is all you have to do and I promise you, till your dying days, I will never forgive you!
