thanks, a. for the story. i'm finding i like hearing people's stories. what struck me was this conditioning we have, or maybe i should say, i have, to thinking that there is that special someone out there who if only i could get together with them, will make everything alright.

i can even know intellectually that it's not true (and i have "known" that for years) still emotionally everything goes to hell as soon as a glimmer appears, and someone shows some interest in me. pathetic. i had to go to a support group for love addicts in la, at least i found out i wasn't the only one,

it's still deeply imbedded in our culture - the happily ever after syndrome, every movie continues to churn it out. i'm not saying this has anything to do with you, its just your story got me going on my own quirk.

i've spent the last 8 years in no relationship and have never been happier. even so, i still find myself secretly hoping that i'll find someone. not even of the opposite sex, not that i'm gay or anything, to tell you the truth for sure i never want to have xxx again with anyone, but i want a special companion, a best friend, with nothing whatsoever physical. and i mean that. just like i never want to come back to this 3d earthplane ever ever ever again.

anyway, thanks again for sharing your story. i found it very interesting, if that's the word.
