We find love, when we stop looking for it. Be patient Friar.
Franci.....I'm only 3 of the 5 descriptions of yourself...lol.. but after giving up 8 years ago on ever dating again I believe if my soul mate shows face it will be worth the wait.
And what makes it even easier is my ex wife and her boyfriend are my roomates.......don't go there I have heard all the jokes and inuendos of said mentioned living conditions...

I spent my life chasing.
Chasing a better job.
Chasing bigger and better toys.
Chasing cooler friends.
Chasing power.
Chasing the next girl.
Chasing. Chasing. Chasing...
Because I thought if I could just have a better/hotter/more expensive _________ (fill in whatever 'thing' you want) then I'd be happy.
By my mid-thirties, I had a 5 bedroom home, custom cars, clothes, toys, people always up for a party and guess what?
I was miserable.
I was majority owner of a very successful business that I built from the ground up (Literally. I ran a backhoe digging the foundation in the middle of winter).
Nothing was ever enough.
Relationships came and went- usually ending badly.
I was alone. Completely alone. It didn't matter how many people were around- I was isolated from any genuine human interaction. I had turned my life into a prison and my daily punishment was a never-ending attempt to get, keep, control everything around me.
Then I lost it all. At 40, I had to start over- I went from a beautiful home to sleeping in an uninsulated, enclosed back porch in the space of less than a year.
Everything I had spent a lifetime working for was gone.
I had every reason to give up, to just crawl in a hole and die.
Oddly enough, though, through my despair, I began to see that I was free. I was no longer a slave to 'things'. I was no longer trapped by my life.
I was no longer chasing.
Instead of trying to get more and more stuff, I worked on the only thing that couldn't be taken away from me.
Me.
Without two dimes to rub together, I found happiness, not from material things, not from others, but from within.
My point?
Nothing external can ever fill the void inside of us. Others can never make is happy.
It's something that we must first cultivate inside before we can ever hope to share it with others.
I truly feel for you, my friend, and will certainly keep you in my prayers.

I must either be a mutant or married one ... meaning that my kid is also mutant ... oh well, fuck my life as always ....
Hey...there is true love, then there is finding the one that will put up with your gaseous bodily expulsions
It's a give/take relationship
That moment when you find the right one...you can annoy for the rest of your life....ah marriage and the 3 ring circus involved

You dont... too late as soon as you hit 'post reply'
Go back and edit all your posts to this thread- change them to utter nonsense.
It may still get read, but they'll be scratching their head and thinking we've all gone nuts...
Oh, and if possible, work in the word 'cumquat' somewhere...

Take ghost ' s advice and edit all your posts to show DELETED
No no no no no no!
I want random nonsense!
And cumquat
EDIT: Sorry did the spelling errors ^^^. I was using speech recognition and that's how it came out.
I swear.
I guess we ALL could delete our posts if that's the way us decide to go.
Unless it involves kumquat.

You were quoted, Friar..
Too Late
Too Late
I offer my prayers to your preferred deity, brother...whether or not he hears them is his choice. I have no idea what's going on because I came to the party late, but my hope is that you pull through and keep bringing your wisdom to us all.
The funny thing is that even though most of the post's currently consist of "..........." I could actually follow it quite well

I would love to sit down and have coffee and vape with you sometime. I like you Friar.Better is relative. Once again I have not been given a want....but rather the need...albeit in a painful way that only serves to remind me that penance is never complete
I would insist on picking up the tab.
I am kind and optimistic, that makes me vulnerable.
I am not perfect, I am broken and have fears, that makes me human.
I know love, and will love in the face of danger and my enemies....that makes me a Child of God. - Scott
