I plan on being very active then. Building a Gypsy "vardo" and traveling to Ren Fairs and Medieval Reenactments selling small goods and my fortune selling services. I love to feel free to do what I will and will enjoy the untethered lifestyle.
But for now... I'm content to be where I am. I have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children, my own included. That is something I will always enjoy and treasure.
As for someone else. I decided a while ago that I am happy on my own, having someone else in my life is a joy, a blessing, but not a necessity. I do enjoy friends and social situations though, and I am severely lacking in those of late.

Sounds good! I have a small RV/van (older model) and lovfe road trips. And this is a big reason for my going in for surgeries and rehab. I have miles to do!!!
I, too, think in terms of doing this solo. I am just in the phase of life in which a relationship is just not the main event. I honestly do not see me living with a partner again at all. I enjoyed a 21 year relationship and the last was for 6 years (she died). Both enriched my life. Yet, I know that any relationship presently or in the future would have the same variables as my past ones. I am not in the same developmental space (with the same needs) as when I was in those relationships.
I like having my own home and working on it. LOL... however, I did give my last partner a bedroom and bath of her own to decorate as hers and put th8ings in it of hers even though she didn't live there.
I want to go back to Alaska and be a campground host- or maybe somewhere else for a summer. I like being able to volunteer time to the things I care about. Couldn't when I was working and in practice. And I still want to compete in partner dancing!
