Hey you — Welcome to my little cozy corner of the internet. I’m Elle, the girl behind Alone Actually, and if you’ve ever felt like the only one eating dinner by yourself or talking to your plants a little too often… you’re not alone. Pinky promise.
This space… It’s for all of us who live solo — by choice, by change, or by pure chance.
Whether you’re thriving in your own studio or crying into a pint of ice cream at midnight (been there), this is a place where living alone actually makes sense.
I started Alone Actually because every time I searched for tips on solo living, I found either boring apartment hacks or advice that assumed I hated being alone. But guess what? I love it. Not every moment, of course — some days are loud in my head and quiet in my home — but most days? I light my favorite candle, play music way too loud, and dance around like I own the place. (Because I do.)
Here, you’ll find:
- Real-life solo stories
- Simple home systems to make life easier
- Little emotional check-ins we all need sometimes
- Tools I actually use and love
- And Pinterest-worthy inspo for living your best solo life
I’m not a life coach. I’m not some self-help expert.
I’m just Elle — figuring this all out one nightlight, grocery haul, and random 3AM thought at a time.
So if you’ve ever felt like the world doesn’t understand how peaceful, powerful, or painfully quiet living alone can be — welcome. You’re in the right place. You belong here.
We’re not lonely.
We’re just alone — actually.
With love,
Elle
Founder, solo dweller, and your newest internet BFF
