Each to their own and for those who are content without a partner I have no objections. But to me, it feels like a hole in my life. Maybe in particular because I feel like I've never been able to put my best foot forward, because I don't know the steps. I have many students who come to me because their education earlier in life haven't given the tools and understanding they need. I often work with both unwinding their their anxities around the subject and building up their grasp of the subject. I could use a little of the same, I think. And it sometimes makes me bitter when people seem to shy away from assisting me, given how much I've assisted others with their problems.
