There is a book I'm reading:

The Art of Possibility

by Benjamin Zander, who is (or at least was at the time the book was written) the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra

It talks about a different way to look at life, and he uses little stories about his experience as a conductor and teacher to explain them. You might like it, or at the very least, it might make you feel a bit better.

Sorry you are having such a difficult time. :(
I think you're cool and wish you the best. If misery loves company, I'm older than you, have never been married and seriously doubt ever "connecting" in the way I would like to do with a man. I mean someone who commits, doesn't abuse and can tolerate my childhood baggage.

I know even "with someone," they can never fill whatever it is that's inside me. It's fun to have those feelings of connection, excitement and possibility but they're all in my mind. So, if it's all in my mind, I can work on making them for myself without illusion... or is that with illusions? :)


Hey, ladies!
Thank you for thoughtful words!
I'm actually doing really well... I sobbed a little bit that day, but none afterwards. I feel very calm and neutral surprisingly. I don't feel like walking on the cloud - 'course not! :) - but, I don't feel sad or miserable either.
I'm just curious about my life....

@ gunderson bee,
that book is on my shopping list on Amazon. I am reading "the Circle" by Laura Day right now. It's about developing intuition, but it seems more like strengthening confidence and possibilities. But, I should get that book this summer.

@mad-tante,
I try to be my own wholeness. I don't want someone just to feel connected. I just get really attracted to people who makes me want to know more and ask second questions to them.
It's a quiet, yet explosive sensation to feel the enriched minds when two like-minded people share their thoughts and feelings. I tend to make friends only with people that I can share this sensation...
If that other person happens to be a cute man with a little more combination of attractive element, I'm in trouble. :)

I've been fine just by myself, but I would like see having a partner I can share my life with since it's almost a miracle to me and I would like to see that happens in my life...
Meanwhile, I'll develop more connection with the Daily Show, Colbert Report and Vox :)
[this is good]
