I am on Phase 3 of my life. Retired I am in a more Relax state about everything surrounding me. Not worried for not finding the "holy grail". Not panic for not having a date on date night. Like the old general that lives on retirement replaying his battles. I made it to an age I never thought I will be there to. And realizing I still got a lot to live for and do. Under management of my man on the mirror. Happy about the choices I didn't make because they are not souring my life at this moment. My glass always been half full. Still believer of sacrifice, of love, of you and I make us we. There is a soulmate a spirit match, a partner in crime to be a witness of my life. I am True to myself and I. So alone or not alone I will get by... And if she appears in front of my eyes... I will be True to her so Help Me I.

I've been thinking about this too. For me, it's starting to become about presence, how much I can be in the moment rather than ruminating on the past or the future. Since I've been single I've found it a bit disconcerting how people define themselves by what they like or don't like. What they will or won't do. Of course some of it is terribly important but some of it seems unnecessarily confining.

I am working on unbecoming. When you erase yourself, wondrous space opens up.

Am I this?

Am I that?

Am I?

The less that I "am", the more "myself" I feel. That is my truth.

I'm not sure that I fully comprehend the question. How I live IS being true to myself. Trying to change that, is me trying to become something other than me.
