Page 68 of 365 – On not “needing” a partner

I want to say, I don't "need" a partner to be happy. I've always known that, but the last two years have driven home that truth. I'm ok on my own, and I actually enjoy many things about being single. Having experienced both conditions, my preference is to have a loving partner. But it's only a preference. I'm not "looking". I haven't been looking for a few years, things just sort of crop up, and I've chosen to engage some of the possibilities while not engaging other possibilities. Sometimes the ending has been my idea, sometimes the other person's.

Endings are just sad, mostly, however they come about. And I could stand a good long run without that particular circumstance in my life. I really have been so blessed in my life to know the happiness and joy of such good friends, and even partnerships/potential partnerships that had many good qualities. So it's not all gloom and doom, it really isn't. Idk. Maybe I should say "no" more often than I do.
