Hmmmm I think it cool for those people who like living alone. If everyone did the same thing it would be so dull. Or bloomed where they were planted by life. Whiner's always make me a little crazy. If you don't like the cards you are delt trade in your hand.

While I have lived with people that make that option much preferable I have also lived with others that were delightful.

I really don't see why people who can live in harmony with another has to be insinuated to some how be co-dependent. Even if they were wouldn't that just be bringing balance to your life?

Would like to think I was born, like most other women, knowing how to make the sex thing pretty good from the start. But have also seen how being a creative lover with the same person can just be so much more. And the sweetness of long felt affections.

And it just so comforting to have someone that likes you day in and day out. Knows where the coffee is and where you loose your keys. Someone to share that great news, or wants to stop your enemies right along with you. It doesn't mean being attached at the hip but feels natural holding hands and shareing a dessert. Agreeing to disagree to have peace and companionship.

So no living alone is not what I want. I can do it. At times even do it well with the grace of faith, friends, and family. I just hope I am blessed with a different choice.

Well there are different types of alone. You can be living in a house with someone and still be alone or you can be in a room full of people and be alone. I guess it just depends on if you are comfortable with yourself and where you are in life.

I enjoy the company of others, and often do miss having someone there that you can bounce random thoughts off of, reach those items on the top shelf so you don't have to get a step stool, someone to curl up with when you get spooked by the strange noise outside. I miss having someone there that gets me... makes laughing at your own jokes seem a little less psychotic. LOL

But I've come to realize that I love *me* time. Not having to be quiet if you decide you want to get up at 3 am and play music or have the munchies and want to make spaghetti.

I'm finally comfortable enough with me that I can go to the movies on my own, go to dinner alone, heck, even go to a bar and have a drink and listen to music alone. It's not always easy, but you do what you have to sometime. I refuse to be a shut-in because there isn't someone in my life.

Just my 2 cents.

comfortable and joy-filled...

Yes,,,but MORE comfortable in the arms and eyes of another.

There was just a point in my life where I decided to get off my butt and get what I want -before- dating.


....And someday, I'm gonna do it.
