今まで、僕のことが知らないだ。 君たちのために。。ばかになる。
---
I’ve just been reminded of another possibility that Kai Tzin brought up last week that would make bachelorhood easier or even fun to live with – staying with other single friends.
I know it’s too early to be even considering this, but what used to be an idea tossed around in those “What if” situations that me and my friends used to ponder about seem more real and plausible, now that staying single doesn’t seem like a scary lonely realm.
The entire idea of the pursuit for the significant other, I suppose, is based upon the thought of not wanting to be alone till our lives end. I don’t know about you guys, but feelings seem more secondary and mechanical, despite the fact I’m having all these love-at-first-sight pangs all over again. Starting a family and having kids seem even less important for me – as long as I could spend the rest of my days with someone truly compatible with me, that fact alone seems perfect.
If being lonely-phobic is the basis of wanting to fall in love, then surely living with other single friends seem like the next perfect choice? Sure, there’s that compatibility issue of whether we could tolerate each other’s bad habits and not step on one another’s toes, chores-dividing, and other boring practical matters but surely these can be easily worked out?
I tire of these seasonal mating rituals sometimes that don’t seem to get anywhere – and when you have one thoroughly complex me, I can hardly understand that chaotic mind in my head.
