Living life

Living life for yourself is honestly stupid. Living my life means to have a family and share a good life with them! Everyone just says enjoy life, but that is enjoying life for me. It’s not like I’m not working on myself...

It's all what works and makes you happy

I lived my life for my family for so long I forgot to take care of me. That eventually backfired.

You do not seem to realize there are a lot of people out here that are on their own, due to divorce, loss of partner, etc., etc., We had to learn to live for self, no one else can do it for us. I am responsible for myself and find I like being by my self, I can do what I want when I want and do not have to answer to another, or take care of children. Mine are grown and gone.

Sounds to me you need to do a little growing up, take a long look at life, it is not idyllic. Life for most of us is a struggle, a good book to read is Scott Peck, The road Less Traveled, on the first line on the first page he says, "Life is Difficult" and let me tell you at 77 I can attest to that. So I live my day to the fullest, help others if I can, I do volunteer work at the local library, it is a service i am performing which makes me happy. A lot of us out here are single and suffer, others like me enjoy their lives, so do not judge us, that is gods job. I send you well wishes and a pleasant carefree life, Sprinkle 1.....
