To find a long term partner who wants the same thing. ALone sucks.

This hits too close to home right now. I will just say that I am preparing now so that I do not have to go through what my mother is going through at the moment.

I'm not quite sure. When I think about my life, I can more or less divide it into 20ish-year eras with a few overarching themes:

Age 0-21ish - education, birth family, friends, work
Age 21ish-40ish - add wild years, chosen family, serious relationships, community organizations, career
Age 40ish-60 (now) - add LTR, chronic illness

I feel like I have at least one more good 20-year era left. I've been keeping a list of ideas on my phone. The list is short; it includes getting past these illnesses, as much as possible. Could it include another LTR? I don't know. Education and work/career might be over and done with, but I'm keeping everything else. I might even have some wild moments left, at least I hope so.

Life is very challenging right now. I’ve had my hands full with being present, and using every heart beat wisely. I try to enjoy each day, night and most moments of life — even if I am aging faster than I realize. Nothing in life is promised. It’s the simple enjoyments of life that get me past my anxiety and helps me to let go of all the “best ideas party’s” I throw for myself when life gets a bit much. I definitely enjoy a mysterious moon and a gorgeous sunset against dark violet colored skies.

Time moves along until we don't realize it passing so much. I am tired of chasing the idea of a femme so alone is it. I have good and bad days like everyone else and you learn to jump over the bad bumps.

I may go down home this summer and take a ferry over to Saint-Pierre and Michelon. A couple of islands belonging to France. I hear it is about the same language and foods etc. as France itself. I will think on it.
