I hope this is tongue and cheek.

@ElusiveMoby ,
put it this way. my life turned out OK so far as material things are concerned. but i could have acheived so much more. but then again: acheived what for whom?

Let me give you a thoughtful response when I have time later today.

When you feel lonely then talk to us. As for knowing who you are, the time here may help you explore and solidify what is true for you.

@LucasfromGR Thank you. I really appreciate that.

@SimplyJaneen was just curious how your feeling. Feel free to message me if you wanna chat

@LucasfromGR Depends on the day. Definitely some days I miss having someone else around to help out with some of the stuff but we would be butting heads. It will be very interesting to see how it goes when he does come back to the US. Met up with a group of freethinker's last night which is always nice. Today marks seven years since I started going to the monthly events my local freethinker's group has. Had to work early this morning so I had to cut it a little short but still got to stay and chat with people a bit. Another group meets up next week and I'm planning to go to that. School starts back for my two in 17 days so it's really going to start getting busy around here as I get them ready to wake up early again and all that fun stuff.

Most of us weren't trained to be self-reliant, and it's rewarding, isn't it!!!

My relationship with myself has been the greatest gift I've developed.

Thanks for the response.

I'm determined to make these years my very best! Thanks for your response.

@ElusiveMoby the years since my divorce have been the best over all. Good luck!

@GreatNani I wish you many more wonderful experiences.
