I feel this so much. After 23 years of marriage, living alone has been unexpectedly joyful. My life feels full…family, friends, meaningful work! So my aloneness isn’t lonely, it’s spacious. I love moving at my own rhythm, listening to myself without adjusting or explaining. I am not alone because something is missing. I am alone because nothing is lacking! ☀️ Loved your article!
I’m really happy to hear that you are finding your way and feeling whole and strong on your own. Many people would not be able to achieve this after 23 years of marriage. You can be really proud of yourself. Thank you for reading my article, and I wish you a wonderful year ahead as well. David
Thank you! Amazing life changing therapy and people in my life! The good, bad, ugly all of it make up my beautiful life story! Cheers to a second chance at living the second half of life! ☀️

We often forget that the purpose of the life is to enjoy it as much as we can, not only living in the survival mode
I just read the whole piece, David. I like how you dismantle the fantasy of invincibility and point instead to responsibility for your own inner life.
Thank you, @Wesley van Peer for reading it and for your feedback. Most things in life start with us, and this topic is no exception.
I'm a 77-year-old man, an unwillingly retired internist, who has been a community development facilitator here in Honduras for 24 years.
My opportunities are often not medically related.
It sounds so irreverent to say it is "fun," punctuated with real joy.
I can relate to every thought you have so beautifully expressed.
Of course, your essay is not short.
I hope we can figure out a way to get better acquainted.
Thank you, David, so much for this kind and thoughtful message. It really means a lot to hear that my essay resonated with you and your experience.
