Singlehood is a new term for me, but I have lived much of my life in that mode. I coined a phrase “LOMO – Life On My Own” to describe it. In the years of my prime, it was called being a bachelor. I spent my adult years from 18 to 40 in that mode and was ready for that to be my lifelong journey. But then my world changed. Long story short, I was married for 35 years until my wife died four years ago. Now here I am back in LOMO and thoroughly enjoying it once again.
According to the statistics, almost half of the young people around today have vowed to make singlehood/LOMO their life choice. In my day, if you weren’t married by 30, you were considered to be broken. But then again, it was also generally believed that women went to college to meet the man she was going to marry and have kids with. Thank goodness, life has changed since those times.
I don’t regret my middle married years, but I am thankful that I will have a chance to live out my final years in the LOMO mode. So, I now tell the world, as I did years ago
Quit Trying To Fix Me, I am not Broken
