That one thing. You can't have it. Fuck you. straight up. You have this, You have that. But that one thing you really want? You can't have it.
Decades of living life. Traveling the corners of the planet, living and learning.
You finally meet someone who really trips your trigger. Who gets it.
And it's too late. Age difference. Marriage.
Life sucks a timeless big one.

Yes.
Tread morally and carefully.
If you're the one with the life experience...yield.
Might be something just right, around the corner...

Damn.
I'm old now...sort of.
Waiting even longer for the right thing is REALLY difficult.
Use your experience and knowledge to get you through...even if it means letting the 'now' go free.

I understand...

I am alone because I choose it. Chances are you are too. There is no right person, just plenty of wrong ones. What I mean by that is some people are just fucked up in the head, chemistry is wrong and no amount of talk or reason or experiance is gonna fix that flaw. But the rest, well they may not be the right person, but they are there if you are interested.

Me I aint interested, I have shit to learn and do. I dont currently have the stength of character to choose to spend my life with a person, or invest the time and thought into getting to know all of the nuiances of their being. I dont want to. I have other investments to see to first.

stay strong, buddy. i know where you're coming from .

i have a friend who is one of those positive people. she  says things all work out for a reason.  i don't know about that.  i've never seen it actually happen myself. all i know is that love generally sucks. relationships lead to pain, drama and bullshit.  then again, i'm probably doing all them wrong.

Meh. When my father met my mother, she was married. He went up to her because of a bet his friend made for who could get a girlfriend faster (which was a trick bet, because he already had a girlfriend, and hadn't told my father.) My dad went up to her and fell for her just looking at her, and was bummed out to learn she was married. However long later, he sees her husband with some 16 year old girl on his lap, showing her off. (Guy was a total piece of shit aside from this as well. He'd gone AWOL multiple times, among other things.) Dad went and told my mother, and however long later, they end up together. They've been married 26 years.

Yeah.  Obviously, women do the same.   When, as a girl, I'd get on a whining jag, my father would say, "Suffer in silence, Jane.  All the world loves a stoic."

That aint no way to live man.Hate is far more destructive to you than others.

Once you hate for too long it is hard to be any other way. It is better to feel nothing at all than feel hate.

I've been doing the "Feel nothing" thing for years. Decided to get back out there. Guess time dulled the memories of disappointment.
Just got a reminder. Guess thats a good thing in the overall picture. I just turned sixty, so this heads-up just might see me to the grave.
Yeah, I know, quit your whining, blah, blah, blah.

You must do as you think best, but if you'd had the emotional courage and resilience to keep an open heart, to be emotionally accessible, rather than hiding behind your "feel nothing" shield for all those years, you might not be where you are today.  In  any case, my sincere best wishes that you find peace and contentment in the years left to you.

ETA: This isn't a gender thing.  I've said the same thing to several embittered, cynical women over the last ten or fifteen years, just passing on some wisdom a friend shared with me during a flat spot in my mid-thirties.

I represented an old codger whose wife went bathshit and divorced him. Great guy. He was walking in the mall and saw a woman he went to high school with. He ran after her, told her who he was and said he had always liked her in high school. She said something like "you dumbass I liked you too but you never asked me out" He said she is so beautiful he never thought she would give him the time of day.



Her husband had passed away a few years ago and they got married like a month later, lol.

When things don't work out with the one you want to be with you have two choices.

1) Sack it up and move on.

2) Trap yourself emotionally in that moment and live a life of self-inflicted misery.

I can relate.  I pined after this one women for years.  It didn't work out.  Oddly, we are friends to this day.  I'm now married to another person and she is engaged.

At the end of the day I couldn't control the circumstances.  I had to make a choice.  Did I want to sit around and fume about stuff out of my hands or did I want to make the most of the time that I had here?

Some things are already written, at least for the moment.  The question remains, how are you going to handle it?  The only person you can change is yourself.  

Good luck.
