• Open Question: Does this sound like Kakashi?

  My friend totally reminds me of him! Her personality is, and she's never even seen the show. - loves to read - kind and caring - LOVES dogs - worst person to argue with, she turns everything you say right around - quiet, but not really shy. Just keeps to herself - very devoted to her close friends - quiet in crowds, outgoing with close friends - likes relaxing - when put in a group situation, naturally great leader, but prefers to solve things alone - troubled childhood, but makes the best of it - positive thinking - cool and level headed - mysterious - doesn't show true emotions readily The one thing that she ins't like, is that she doesn't have the patience for teaching, but I think she'll grow into it :) Do you think she sounds like him? I just want to make her cosplay him for the next convention because of her similarity :D

• Open Question: Concerned about living/dying alone?

  I am a single 41 year old woman living in New York City. Recently, the reality that I may never marry and have children has hit me hard. I have always been very independent. I have had varying degrees of intimate relationships over the years - several long term, some flings, I once lived with my boyfriend of 5 years, even a one night stand or two! But it has now been more than 3 years without any relationship of significance. I am fairly attractive, but I'm finding men less interested than they used to be. Many think I am younger than I actually am - which is a problem. Once they find out my age, well...you know the drill. Most men are looking for younger, sexier etc etc etc. I am beginning to come to terms with the fact that I may never be with anyone. I made a choice long ago not to settle. I will not do what I have watched SO many of my friends do - which is marry out of fear- fear of being alone mostly. Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly like being alone but I have never been able to imagine a life married to someone I don't truly and passionately love. The realization that I will most likely not have a family of my own is painful. I don't have anyone I can really talk with about it because it makes my family and friends really uncomfortable. They don't intentionally shut me down when I try to talk about it but they don't really want to hear it. I am the one who has always been the positive one, the "life of the party", the one everyone goes to for advice. I host parties, I volunteer, I travel, go to events- I have a full life. But I am terribly terribly lonely none-the-less. No one in my life has any idea how much pain I am in- daily- emotional and physical. I have struggled with health issues throughout my 20's and 30's due to a surgical medical mistake that has left me with daily physical pain. Most people don't realize it. I manage it with pain medication, exercise and positive thinking! But I do anticipate my life expectancy to be shorter than average. I am concerned about how to plan for the last half of my life at this point- alone. I always imagined that I would have a partner and a family that would care for me. I have 2 brothers that have lives of their own and I refuse to be a burden to them or to anyone else. It makes me extremely uncomfortable to think about either one of them having to "take care of me" in the end. I don't want to be that crazy, eccentric aunt that never married and everyone feels sorry for! I have a job(s) with a combined income of just under 100K a year, liquid savings of 30K and about 50K in a retirement account. But I live in NYC! I am not saving as much money as I would like or that I need. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or suggestions about how I can plan for my long term care. There have been times where I just wish I'd get hit by a bus so I won't have to struggle through anymore. I am NOT suicidal! I just don't like what I see that lies ahead for me. I am very aware of all of the blessings I have in my life. I have people who love me, financial security for the time being, so I am sure it may sound ridiculous to some that I feel the way I do. Loneliness comes in all kinds of packages. I would love and appreciate any shared stories or concerns. Thanks for taking the time to read this. All the best...
