Over the past three years I have a lot of time for reflection. When you are single you have an opportunity to find clarity. When my boys are sleeping I am often alone with my thoughts. Being alone can be both a blessing and a curse. I have been able read a lot of books. I have also wasted a lot of hours doing little more than nothing on the internet. I have had an opportunity to delve into my history to become self-aware. Human beings were made for each other. One truly is the loneliest number. I think this is why many people hang onto unhealthy relationships. Having someone at least means you are not alone. Sometimes I will get a neat text or I will offer my friends to pop over to play a game. To be honest, I have never really enjoyed texting. I would much rather talk. The connection feels more real. More human. But few people I interact with feel the same. Boardgames have always helped me maintain my humanity. Lately my human interaction seems less and less. Often, I would rather just curl up in a ball and sleep. In my solitude I often listen to music. Music takes me back to people, places, and things. But out of these three it is people which truly matter. Solitaire Man was Neil Diamonds first charting single. In my opinion it is his finest song. He is one of the best storytellers of our time. I do often miss the feeling of having a partner . But I would much rather be alone than have a woman play games behind me.
