Just some time to myself every now and again. It's not glorious, but I was always kind of a loner and living a life surrounded by family all the time does leave a bit of desire for the good old days.
I miss the carefree days when I could just pick up and do whatever. No responsibilities, nobody depending on me. If I wanted to pass out drunk in a field with my underwear tied to my head I could do it and nobody was waiting at home, pacing, wondering where I was and when I was going to take the kids to daycare. Every now and again, it's nice to have a weekend or so to relive those days. Yeah, it's never quite the same. But still, a close approximation is nice.
It's the damnedest thing. When you're young and single, you spend your days pining away for a soulmate to spend your life with. When you find that soulmate, you spend your days pining for those young and single days. Sometimes I think we humans are just pre-programmed to be miserable SOBs.
lol Well, given what I initially joined up for, I'm sort of a fan of keeping any ties to my actual identity severed. If I get to know people they might learn a bit of my bio type stuff. I can say I've told no lies so far, either blatant or by way of omission.
Who doesn't like that wild feeling? Like you're alive again, like you're desired again, like the dormant excitement tamped down by a settled down life has broken free. It's like being young and free all over again.
