Well, it ain't something I'm afraid of. Before my last long-term, I lived for ten+ years as an outside cat, and while there's sure a sweetness to being in lifelong love, there's a joy in not having to answer to anyone for things, and I like my freedom. Just sometimes it doesn't fill the other niches I want.
I'm a realist. I don't believe that there's any Other Half out there for me, only that I could find the gal I spend the rest of my life with tomorrow, or I could never find her at all. And I'm cool with that.
It might have read as morose, but it's not. It's just realism given voice.
Do I believe any of it to be true? Shit, I don't know what the next five minutes holds, much less the next five months or years.
