It's costly and tiresome. I don't like to be alone all the time, neither do I care about having a soul mate. Because it's not what I can control whether there's a person to love or be loved. It's not important to me. I don't need the Mr. or Ms. Right in my lfe. I want to be a person with a community where I can find things to do all year around and be useful to others, simply because I love to. Thus I love my community. There are always people to see and things to do. There's a beautiful religion and a groupie. I'm neither old nor retired because I've never worked consistently. My life was never built around work. It about building my own inerests and raising a family. Work is a transaction. It should never be the core of your life. You do the job to get paid. I don't want or need to get paid anymore at this stage of life.
I'm 52, about to be 53. There are troubles in life but also sunshine. Just remember to always face the brighter side.
