I discovered through my personal journey that I prefer solitude. I had several relationships in my 20s then ended a 7 year relationship with someone I loved. After I had a tumor in my throat and lost 3 years to cancer. I saw my life clearly for the first time. I pivoted from traditional core drives and really asked myself what I needed to I wouldn't one day die screaming, not because I failed at my own life but because I lived someone else's life. I talk to my cat all the time. I prioritise learning and documentaries and good habits and maintaining them. I also adopted the philosophy of Camus. One MUST imagine Sisyphus happy. It may change, I may decide I need to have the approval and companionship of a significant other again, but thesee last few years I don't even date. I'm standing still and don't chase after my life anymore. I don't feel exhausted, I don't feel alone. I feel enlightened and wish you every success in your own path. Also listen to Hi Ren by Ren if you haven't already. Top stuff.
