Wise words expressed by everybody here.
I have been married and to tell you honestly, sometimes my loneliest times were when I was married. Because you expect that person to support you and then they aren't there? That's loneliness... To be in a roomful of people and to be totally ignored, or laying in bed next to the person you love and they aren't talking back to you. It goes the other way too I have found. Although other people may look at me and say,"oh, she's alone", I have never felt less alone. I have so many friends to count on and support me.
So don't be afraid to be alone. Alone means a lot of different things. But don't be scared to be happy either.
And don't be a girl and overanalyze things. Sometimes the wave is meant to be ridden, not fought. And where you end up is exactly where you were meant to be. She's out there, Max. And she'll get to you... Sooner or later. Until then, enjoy the journey.  |
I don't even remember what got me/us started on that.
I'm pickin' up what you're layin' down, Tweeze. In the engineering world we would just say paralysis by analysis.
But like I said, everything is fine until I have a break from my activities. Then I realize I am not alone strictly by choice anymore. I want to live my life for more than just my own enjoyment. I can get some fulfillment from creating inventive engineering stuff. But when I run out of that, I seek it elsewhere.
