But if you do not have that partner to "age gracefully with" then you have to deal with all the growth you did by yourself. So "what the fuck" can be construed as, Why the fuck am I so fabulous and still have not met the kinky man of my dreams, LOL? Ah, but the "what the fuck" works best as a process to find that other person. You'll have to trust me on this, but I don't think I would have found my own personal "sexy red" without reaching a major "what the fuck" stage in my life. There was a cross-road to experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, but coming out the other side was a perspective that NOTHING was worse in life than looking back and thinking "what might have been!". A pragmatic sense of mortality is amazingly empowering. Not to the point of recklessness, but for an appreciation that the "worst case" anticipated is never the "worst case" as long as you are breathing at the end of it. I also realized you miss out on a lot of "best cases" talking yourself into believing the "worst case" is probable and not making the attempt. That's where the "self awareness" comes into play, and being happy with yourself and/or your situation. Because the real "worst case" is that you are still alone and if you aren't happy with that person. But then, how can you expect anyone else to be? Meanwhile, the attempt at the experience in and of itself should be fun. I never expected to find a partner. If I KNEW anything - I knew I didn't want one. Meanwhile, I was out there with every opportunity; out there - NOT on-line except for the purpose served on the other side of this site. Not a weekend went by without some kind of fun opportunity to meet someone if not in meeting someone contacted through profile contact. Many times they didn't show, we didn't 'click', or they weren't exactly the gender they represented. Not once did I come back home to my apartment alone and think something similar to "Why the fuck am I so fabulous and still have not met..." And I'm a disreputable, calloused, skeptical, old, sarcastic, teasing, egomaniac, bald, guy; not a "sexy red" - Jersey Girl! Hey! Ya know, I did say LOL, didn't I? I always love your posts, this one included and I am not being negative, just wanted to point out some things. But you are right, oh so right, life is a continued adventure, always has been, always will be. Thanks for the words. Oh, and I am not too much of a Jersey Girl, although I do worship Bruce Springsteen.
