I'm not sure age has anything to do with it. We live in a throw away world. If something no longer makes us happy, we pitch it and get a new one. No one fixes anything or maintains anything...not even relationships.
I'm betting the people who are talking about tearing down walls are usually pointing their finger at someone besides themselves. It's easy to see YOUR wall, because they're standing on top of theirs.
I have seen this before. I saved it and I read it occasionally, along with other inspirations I've found. Family always comes first with me. When I prioritized, that was a no brainer first place. I feel pity for people who find out too late, family is where it's at.
I think you cannot have success in looking for a mate/date/relationship of any kind, until you are comfortable being alone. Independence is more than just a state of mind. (Did I steal that from a commercial?)
Through circumstance (3 divorces, ouch, 2 kids) I have had to restructure my life. At first I was depressed and felt angry at having to "do without". Then I began to accept my situation and I started realizing I didn't miss the things of which I'd been deprived. I am fortunate to make enough money to be sure my kids do not do without and still be fairly comfortable, now that I've got my priorities straight. I have become aware of the influence that commercialism has in the WANTS as opposed to the NEEDS of everyday life. I love those feed the pig commercials. I now live in a 5 room home, have one vehicle and splurge on my ponies. I took a part time job at a western wear store and they sponser my competitions in exchange for outfitting me and the horses. I eat healthier, after I learned to cook. (I never said I was a model husband, but I can survive now.) I'm happier and finally satisfied with my life, now that I've seen through the BS the media and retail have been feeding us.
Dogs come in handy for those in depth conversations you don't feel like sharing with others though, don't they? I lost my best secret keeper about a year ago. Dang if I don't miss her.
By the time I got through totin' around all the kids, nieces, nephews, and neighbor invaders around, I needed some refuelin'. And there's plenty left for you
Armas, Be strong and positive, it goes a long way. Rwantin, take care of yourself as well. You must be strong for your daddy as well as yourself. My prayers to you both.

at worm. I actually have tears from laughing. It never fails to make a stupid typo when you're trying to make a good point. I hate it!
