Sometimes Carol, alone is good. Scary but good. I found strength in myself when I learned to sleep alone. I prefer it now actually. I prefer living alone too. This is only my 2nd year of my entire life living alone, and I am 40. And it has only been 1 year since living alone after my last relationship ended, I do prefer to live alone. I can be me, and I accept me as I am. I don't try to make myself into somebody else.
