That might be just all you need. Once you have this, an adjustment will follow." --- Living a life is not easy, but living together with somebody else is much harder. People who're from different backgrounds, interests, and lifestyle can live together. What about how they live?? Have you ever think about living with someone as roommates for a long while? Will you have any problems? Will you fight? The closer people are, the more problems they have. And it's real. I heard a lot of bad experiences about roommates from people surrounding me; for instance, some roommates don't care about cleaning rooms, some of them invite their boyfriends or girlfriends to Apt. and ask their roommates to get out for a while in the rainy day, or roommates break people's privacy. I never have a roommate before until now in NYC where the rent is so expensive. I knew my roommate for around 6 months before we moved to this Apt. Although we were not so close, I knew she was a nice person. However, when we started living together, everything was alright and we were very careful about doing things in the 2 bedrooms Apt. The problems have shown up not because she changed or I changed but it was about the differences and lack of care. I really have no idea about all these but we start do not like what another person do. She doesn't like mine and I also don't like hers. We know too much about another one. I think it's because sometime people think about only themselves and forget to watch out how others behave or feel about what they're doing. Forgiveness is the most significant thing for this situation. Even though it's really hard to forgive someone and avoid fighting right after he/she make you be angry, we've got to do it. Adjustment is another important thing for people who live together. We have to be careful not to make another person feel too uncomfortable that leads to broken relationship. Relationship is unpredictable, but I deeply believe that everybody can live with one another. We just have to be careful, care about others' feelings, find the balance, and be happy to have others in our lives. I don't know what's going to happen here. I'll do my best anyway. *('v')*
