This Is Why I Live Alone
In the previous story. I wrote about living together with someone. In this story I share some thoughts about living alone. What’s best?
I live alone, and sometimes I think that’s okay.
But other times I ask myself if I’d not rather be in a relationship.
— Is it because I am not in a relationship now?
— Maybe I would think differently about it if I were in a relationship?
Of course, it has to do with what I have experienced earlier.
I know very well that in my younger days when I was not in a relationship, I longed for a girl, a woman who could be near me, and who I could hold in my arms.
I am not in a relationship right now. Sometimes I think that it would be all right to be in a relationship. I mean — if it was a good relationship. But then I think: What is a good relationship? — Is it a good relationship if I am comfortable with being there?
What if I am not good enough?
