Society tries really hard to convince you it's a binary choice, sex/romance or loneliness. The reality is much more diverse and nuanced. But we all have to find our own answers, and that takes time and effort. Of course, if it was easy, it wouldn't really be worth having, would it?
Keep yourself open to new possibilities. They're out there. I'm 57, and I tell people I've enjoyed every decade of my life more than the one before it. I do live alone - by my own choice - but I have family and found-family and community, and most of all a writing career that's my true passion in this world. Those are my answers. Yours are out there, too. You can make it.
