really thriving single like been about 5-6 years - just really enjoying my life immensely getting debt free and taking on more pseudo professional stuff this year like janitorial and security courses (cost way more than my phd's/masters hahaha ) just want to expand my employability like my end goal is not to be full time employed cause I would lose a whole host of benefits with my disability pension but to have a foundation to fall back on in case whatever haha I knew early on that full time slave work was not for me and pointless I just love not entertaining another human endlessly and doing 10x more than I would if I was married the other aspect is that you have to rely on yourself more like if you get sick or out for awhile just like need to treat and take care of yourself and become self reliant like some people I see on my travels give me that look and I am like um no dont even try not even interested sorry not gonna meet someone at a bus stop or find someone to insert my penis into endlessly under the guise of "love" not gonna happen -I honestly think i will be single my whole life then the other thing I want is a hot muscle houseboy when I am rich and can afford him but way less obstruction in your life that way hahaha
