I think I probably have a reputation as being strong and being able to just get on with things, but that doesn’t always work and all of us need to talk about things, and appearing strong takes its toll.
Many of us put on the shield of bravado,and we wear that shield like it cannot be bridged,but every shield has a weakness,and when it is bridged our weaknesses are open for all to see,but the reality is,its not a weakness,it is being human,and we struggle to understand the complexities of the human psyche.
I have a number of friends and acquaintances who find themselves living alone due to bereavement and loss,and its not something that any of us wanted,but it is how the cookie crumbles,and very few of those friends have immediate family to turn to for advice. and so we sink into unending mire and maelstrom and that whirlpool keeps on spinning.
I have been criticised for writing posts like this on social media ,but what other medium allows you to vent your feelings when you are alone,and who knows that one day those who criticise might one day need to do the same.
On a lighter note,if ever i contemplated living with anyone again,which is highly highly doubtful and unlikely,they would need to be au fait with all things internet and worldwide web,,all things financial and legal,utility companies....etc etc....so basically a Lawyer...🤣😂 oh and tidy-ish😆
