...See more Hi, this is my first post, it's 4am because I have chronic insomnia. But I'll probably be able to go back to sleep in about an hour, I usually do.  I got married because I was 32 and tired of being alone. Then I had a baby because I thought I had a partner. But he went to work and I was in the house far from my friends, taking care of the house and the child and trying not to lose my mind. I told myself that when she grew up I would have a life, get good work, that my purpose would come out like the sun shining light on the world. I never expected a traditional life to be satisfying for me, but it took up so much of my time and energy that I never developed the rest of myself. When my daughter went to college I discovered that I couldn't remember how to live. When I talked to my husband about the life I want he said "I'm not like that," so now I know for sure that I've spent half of my life with someone who isn't a partner. I have things I like to do, and I am willing to do them alone, but I'm disappointed at how everything about adulthood seems to be about being alone, just like so much of my childhood. I'm nearly 60 and have never had the connection and community and purpose that I spent my childhood dreaming of. Sometimes I connect with people but their lives are busier and more full than mine, so they don't have interest in building a life together. I've connected with some people via an online class, we are building community there, maybe that's all I will get, but I still dream of one day having people to work with and make a life with in person.  Thanks for reading if you've gotten this far. 😊 It's felt good to write this out.

What is one of your most cherished childhood memories with your mother?

...See more Mine is— When I was little, I had a nightmare that someone was on our roof. I woke up terrified, screaming, "Vo mujhe maar dega, vo mujhe maar dega!" ("He'll kill me, he'll kill me!"). My mother rushed to my side and gently asked what was wrong. Through my tears, I told her that someone was on the roof and they were going to hurt me. Without hesitation, she held my hand and led me to the roof to show me there was no one there. I clung to her tightly, begging her to come back downstairs because I was afraid they would hurt us both. But she reassured me with calm strength and said, "Dekho, koi bhi to nahi hai yaha." (“Look, there’s no one here.”). Under the moonlight, I looked at her and noticed how radiant she looked. She was glowing, her beauty illuminated by the gentle light, and in that moment, I told her, "Mummy, aap pari jaisi lag rahi ho." ("Mummy, you are looking like an angel.”). She smiled, and it was the most beautiful smile I had ever seen. That smile made me feel so safe, so protected, that all my fear and the nightmare seemed to vanish. It’s one of my favorite childhood memories with her, a moment that still warms my heart.
Are you aging well?

...See more Check-In November 7- 10, 2024 Even though aging is unavoidable, there are some indicators that one is aging well. Having sustained energy levels throughout the day is one of the signs of healthy aging.  Aging well includes maintaining a good range of motion and flexibility. Regular stretching exercises and activities like yoga or Pilates can help improve flexibility, ensuring that joints remain mobile and reducing the risk of injuries. Adequate rest and proper nutrition are very important and of course healthy sleep. Are you aging well and what are you doing current to ensure your body gets what it needs at your age?

Going it Alone

...See more Hi there, Thanks for letting me join this community. I'm a new listener though I've been doing it for many many years, just not officially. I'm over 60 ,but I don't feel like it as my mother said would happen. I'm still very active and partake in many things and I look okay for my age I guess. I work out regularly. My whole life I've been alone for the most part and it's worked for me. But I'm really hoping at this stage of life to have some fun and to have a companion, but I wouldn't even know where to start. I keep thinking that doing the activities I enjoy and I'm passionate about will meet have me meeting people that feel the same way but that doesn't really happen so far. Just thought I'd sharing introduce myself. Glad to be here. Annie
Trauma or Normal Sex Drive?
by Dossema
Last post
Saturday
...See more Ok, folks, you can tear me into pieces but I will dare to confess. I deeply love my husband for the wonderful human being he is. But I am not attracted anymore. We have long distance relationship in the last year. Moreover, I don't cheat but I dream about touch with passion, kisses, wild and long.. Nights. And I look. And sometimes when I look I start dreaming. Is this my trauma and willingness to be liked? Or it's a normal human thing after 20 years of marriage? Does it mean that I have to divorce? I tried many things but that boredom simply returns... :(
