Thanks for the short month reminder.

I needed that pick-me-up.

Good Lord. “A fate worse than death”? Well, la-di-dah.

Me, I think people who don’t have a cat or two around their apartment are truly the ones avoiding (out of silly fears due to their own inadequacies, natch) the rough and tumble of A Life Truly Lived. Oh, and if they drive a car instead of taking the bus? Wusses. I mean, pathetic people denying their true needs to sit in a seat recently vacated by an incontinent hobo. A cloth-covered seat.

To each their own sense of adventure, know what I’m saying?

There is another thing, apart from purely emotional sphere.
I have my life well-organized now, after years of trying. I have my routine, I like my apartment the way it is (however imperfect), I have acquaintances and friendships rotating around just enough to fulfill my need for human interaction, occasional upset notwithstanding (on both sides).
Something short of cosmic force should happen to make me abandon all of the above. Which is less and less possible, as I look in the mirror day to next day.

How do we know that ANY fate is worse than death? (We don’t, OK?) But we all get to a point in life where many of us become risk-intolerant. That applies to everything we do, and it doesn’t matter if you’re married or not. In fact. married people often are MORE loath to take risks, even though they often could weather the storm better. It’s not just a question of entering a new relationship or not, it could as easily be a question of dragging a dead relationship around.

Me? I’ve watched Fight Club dozens of times. I’m peeing in the soup, baby.
