Being Alone

How hard it is to be alone. A few times, when I've expressed my life difficulties to my aunt, she has said to me, "And you're all alone."

Finally I realized what she meant. I've never experienced this but when you have a life partner, you are (hopefully, in a good relationship) constantly supported in all you do.

It is so hard to keep energy levels up when you have to feed your energy levels almost all alone, all the time.

My aunt knows the contrast so well because the love of her life was murdered after they were married for over 20 years, with 6 kids.

People don't appreciate this about singles. It's harsh, to say the least.

I'm tired and demoralized, so often.

I don't know what to do with myself.
