as i am now, enjoying myself and living it my way and being impulsive.

Ah Bliss, I did find The One........but Lady Fate can be a bitch sometimes.
How do I conduct my life now knowing that?
Carry on exactly as I am. Who knows what's round the next corner?
I have made peace with myself that I may spend the rest of my days filling gaps but heck so what? Its gotta be better than being alone and lonely forever and a day.

Bliss, i guess it means that if we "Know" The One doesnt exist, or isnt ever gonna be available, we are all living in hope that Another One that nearly hits the mark might be round the next corner?

When you've loved and lost The One, you know.

I hope you find him/her one day soon! x

I dont know about all this "the one" business. its some fairtale that hollywood has put upon us. I am too busy enjoying myself with the woman i am with now to be thinking about "the one" and all that shit, i am in love, dont know how long it will last but i sure as hell am gonna enjoy it while it lasts. good luck to all you "the one" searchers

Stu - my husband was 50 when our youngest was born. You might not suddenly become a geriatric you know! What I'm saying is, dont dismiss the idea JUST because of your age. Can't tell you how you personally would feel about 2 hourly night feeds etc. though! (I'm 41 and I couldn't do it now!).

"To some extent, even though I still have vague hopes of meeting another soul mate, I quite often find myself irked by intrusions when I want to get on with my own things (but am getting much better at dealiong with them, as they aren't really intrusions are they?), which I suppose isn't a very good sign".

oooh Stu, I'm glad I'm not the only one!!! I was talking with a friend about this the other day, how guilty that makes me feel cuz I really really DO want to put some effort in, but like my own space too much!
