Very well written. Living alone did the same for me. Stuff like doing the laundry, keeping the clothes back in their places, getting groceries and keeping them in the fridge in an organized way, managing the items in the fridge and ensuring things don't go to waste, these are all the things our central midfielders do silently. The effort is only visible once you live by yourself.

Absolutely!

(Also, putting the clothes back in the places is the worst chore to do >_< )

Very well said. I wish more men take part in house hold chores to know the amount of effort required to rustle up a meal.

Congrats for noticing the unpaid, unloved and unappreciated work, much of it provided competently and quietly by women. Hopefully this will stay with you for life, and result in you thanking those who provide for you, and ensuring that you take on contributing to this grown up work yourself
