Alone and Loneliness…these are two very similar words yet in my mind they are miles apart. ALONE is a conscious choice whereas LONELINESS is symptom bought on by being alone…I choose to be Alone and sometimes I feel loneliness
Unaccompanied,
by yourself,
on your own,
and no-one else.
Seclusion,
Isolation,
Privacy.
Longing, desire, yearning, hunger, craving, pining lust….these are some of the symptoms of being lonely…but they are often fleeting. It is when they set in for a while that your mood changes.
I like living by myself, with my own rules and idiosyncrasies. I like my things where I put them. I like my bed just where it is, I like my TV programmes, I like the food that I like they way I like it….I like to leave the dishes sometimes, I like to watch TV with the lights off, I like to read in bed for hours on end, I like to get in the car and just drive with no destination given or known, I like not being responsible for anyone else, I like being selfish because when you are alone it is selfless.
I want to share my life but not in my house or my bed or by their rules or their life….I have had that and don’t want it anymore…I know I am missing out on so much and probably hurting myself at the same time but it is very comfortable and very easy when you are on your own with no timetable. I want to design my house to my specifications and it will never suit anyone other than a single man or a husband that does not want to include his wife..
Massive kitchen with stainless steel BBQ as the centrepiece, enormous glass door fridges that lead out through folding doors to the equally spacious deck, TV/Entertainment room with Recaro seats mounted to the floor rather than floral patterned soft furnishings. A shower that could fit a female volley ball team with a shower rose that feels like a waterfall, the other 3 rooms in the house would be a study come gaming room complete with library, a ‘boys’ room for keeping all of the stuff that you don’t want to put in your bedroom or store in the quadruple garage and finally the bedroom…walk in robe, gigantic bed and that is about it. All floors will be polished timber with a couple of throw rugs….cheap simple and practical….PS: Ironically my mate’s WIFE has already drawn it up.

7 recovered enough to reply:
i miss being alone. i miss it because, for me, having that time made the return of the MITM all the more desirable. now, with miss daisy here, his return is almost reduced to simple salvation. we've sort of set aside our own plans for the time being... good to see ya'll back in the blogosphere, sugar! xoxoxo
I want the house you are designing. Simplicity is wonderful. And I don't think it's a bad thing that you enjoy being by yourself, some people are happier that way.
It sounds like a wonderful place. I too like living alone. The ideal relationship is one where each has their own house with their own space... and they share their lives with that in mind.
I hope you build that house one day. Great to see you back and I wish you well.
The wife designed that house?
Tell me she has a sister, Scorps.
Sounds all perfect to me!!!! I dont think I could ever live with anyone else now.
Hey Scorp.
I'm back on the air!..... but I see you aren't....
I liked it and really it is so interesting and wonderful information, too!
