What are the many benefits, to you, of living alone?

Many people think that if we live alone we’re automatically dejected, depressed and just starved for company. I’ve only lived alone for a year and enjoyed it immensely except at Christmas when I felt very sorry for myself . Other than that, I had fun, possibly because I had just wrenched myself away from Satan, my former husband. What do or did you just love about living alone and do you actively seek a partner?
