Something I've recently been thinking about

Not in a sob story kind of way but I had a deep realization that there is a real possibility that I die alone. With the way things are set up today, I think a good chunk of people will. Obviously there are still people entering in and out of relationships and marriages but the numbers and stats don't lie for a reason. Marriage rates, relationships rates, birth dates are all steadily declining at least in comparison to before. For those of you in happy relationships, savor it because some of us will never taste it again. For those who say be okay being alone, I am...it doesn't mean my biological wiring of wanting companionship doesn't show up from time to time

Even in a happy relationship, death can always come. Most of us die alone. Why not? After all, most of us were born alone.

@Magicianzini Dying alone is mostly a phrase, and I disagree. There was once a story of a person who died alone in their apartment and nobody knew for months and her body was just decaying in her place because nobody cared to check on her. Unless you die instantly, your loved one would be in the hospital with you in your last moments. All these stuff people are saying here are cope. No offense but a relationship is always better than being involuntarily single. It's one thing to be single by choice. Im not though. I don't know why it's so hard for people to accept reality

@Magicianzini This is how it will be for my Husband and I.When we face death, we will face it alone, but sadder than facing death alone is if you are in a happy relationship, your spouse who still lives will face life alone. We have had each other for 45 years and have completely become one after all this time. Whoever is left to live on will be half of what they have been. It will be sad. So until then I will enjoy every day we have together. 🙂

@HappyHobbiest You can still enjoy the time you have with your SO, that is my point. Death comes for all of us, whether you're in a relationship or not so I'm not sure why people keep using that as a talking point. We all know the 2 guarantees in life, death & taxes. It's still better to have been loved, then not loved

@Movingthegoalpost You are right, and I do hope you find someone, too.🤗

@HappyHobbiest I'm not holding my breath that's for sure
