How can anyone do it alone?

[Love Child]

For someone that has gone through too many relationships I find this period of solitude quite enjoyable. I haven't completely cut myself off from having fun or having an occasional fling, but I find myself avoiding those more and more lately. I don't want a casual relationship with anyone anymore and I don't want to be the mistress.
After a friend of mine passed away last month I thought, "Life is too short to be alone". I haven't rushed off to find anyone, but I am not so closed off to it now.
It is good that you have comfort in being in your relationship Maggot, you are lucky. Even if you didn't see that strainer the first time!
