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

Just curious what brought about the change, if it was the realization of dying alone. And I don’t mean this in a sarcastic way, only an attempt to understand.

@OlderSometimesWiser Well I see it like this. I understand you're referencing my older post and I still don't...but I can compartmentalize things. I can be okay being alone but it doesn't mean I won't ever feel the affects of being lonely. I'm a human, our emotions fluctuate, our state of mind isn't stagnate like a robot. I'm not being sarcastic either when I say that. We move up and down. So even though I still agree with the general message of that older post, and trust me there are days in fact where I realize I am also better off alone, I still have days, moments, where I have this realization and it does get to me
@Movingthegoalpost Fair enough. Thanks for the clarification. 🙂
