  1. Bo you mentioned something that clicked with me. You said something like 'if you haven't lived an extreme life' and that must be why I am not lonely despite living alone for the last eleven years. I've lived an interesting life, done lots of things most people never will or even would. I keep people out of my life, they have to earn a place in it. Everyone is welcome to try out for a spot, but it doesn't mean they'll get one. I was married twice, 8 years with both of them. Glad they're gone because they were an expense. I have zero sympathy for people like them, who put work ahead of people, who ripped their kids from their fathers out of capricious spitefulness, and like the 30 something dude who is so milquetoast milk probably curdles in his presence. The best things in life take monumental effort. An easy life is a boring life. My life is getting better, while my health gets worse because I am 55. I look back at my life and its like Forest Gump in that I was there when history happened, did amazing things, but in areas nobody notices or knows about despite being incredibly important. I never did a busy work job, where you push paper around and put cover sheets on the TPS reports. I did the difficult, dangerous, and technical jobs. If I traveled to South America, Antarctica, and Australia, I would have been on every continent. If I traveled between Dubai and Seoul I would have gone completely around the earth. Most people live their entire lives within 200 miles of where they were born. I've been 10,000 miles from my birthplace, and currently live 1000 miles from there, out in the woods. There are too many fun things to do to sit around feeling sorry about being alone, other people tend to muck up my plans. Once in a while i need someone to help me move a non running vehicle or put a roof on, but otherwise I'm good alone. I prefer it and have for some time. When enough people in your life harm you, being alone is a wonderful thing. Its peaceful and with far less stress.
