I was thinking about why everyone looking for a romantic partner. Being in a romantic relationship of course is beautiful if it nurtures you , supports you. However, we are not lack if there is no romantic partner in our lives.I want to talk about staying by yourself. I think most people escape from solitude as if it is a problem to be avoid. we fear to face what we want and take responsibility to realize our dreams. responsibility requires effort. My 85 year old neighbor, after living with her spouse 60 years,is now alone after her husband went nursing home. She was so upset about the situation at the beginning, but now I see she started creating a rich individual life, she has a routine. She is knitting beautiful dolls , looking after her house , her plants. I admire her. She has a social life , as she is visiting her husband at nursing home, her neighbors and family members. Even we are with someone right now, unfortunately we can be alone again in the later part of our lives. spouses might pass away, children go to other cities, countries. There is no escape from solitude, let’s face and meet our beautiful authentic ourselves.
