Hey Tru,
For me it is a longing to return to a place in my life where I felt comfortable with myself and my situation.What I long for now is someone to fill that void.Someone who I can share all my experiences with.Someone who is not afraid to laugh with me,or cry if need be.Knowing that I may end up all alone for the rest of my life is very scary.I think we all feel some fear of being alone.I just pray that everyone here finds who God has destined for them.At that point all will be well in their relationship.

Tru...it is not a mid life crisis as you are not in crisis...you know what it
is you want. Its all about having someone to connect to on all levels..to
share the basic moments in life, as well as developing some great ones..with
another...its about giving love....receiving love...being love, sharing time
being part of another...part of something greater.., its about
having PURPOSE...ITS ABOUT FEELING ALIVE...

The out grow is, when you get past the empty nest syndrome, when you get past the, I don't want to be alone the rest of my life, and the I don't know what to do with myself by myself. Maybe it was because I was a truck driver for 15 years and spent so much time alone, but I do not have a need for someone. Not even a feeling that I don't want to be alone, definitely am not afraid to be alone. I feel whole and complete and ok with everything the way it is.
I also feel that that would make me a great companion to someone who feels completely satisfied with their life. They we could share what we find to be great and also be at peace when the other has something they want to do without me.
I would like someone to love but not sure I want to marry or even live with someone. Maybe have a duplex to share.

That sounds perfect. They do have places like that but have to have a lot more money than I got to live there.

There are some people who just cannot live alone.. one of my brothers is one of them. I have no problem living alone and have done so. I think if you cannot live alone and be happy within.. you are not going to do well with living with someone else and be happy.. JMO

Hi everyone,
Thanks for bringing this up blu... it has touched people.
I agree with 53 and many others about this one.
"Usually thought to be brought on by some major change in their lives..like a divorce, death of a spouse or parent(s), change in job or occupation, AND the realization of our own mortality, etc... I am beginning to think it goes deeper and may be triggered by other things also..."
When we pass through stages of our lives and we need to grow or change in some way, I believe our spirit, like our biological bodies makes us "hungry" by creating an urgency within us.
Relating to 53's theory on change or it could even be discribed as loss, we usualy have to go through a grieving process before we can make good decisions about changing ourselves or our environment. Sometimes that grieving is so uncomfortable that we want to "run" away from the pain.
It sounds like blu used her energy and made some dynamic changes in her life since her divorce and now her spirit is looking for change again and this time the change is just for her to enjoy.
As for all of this being over with... I'm hoping changes happen often and well for the rest of my journey.
Did any of this make any sense to anyone? (If you're not confused, you're not paying attention)
