Since Valentine's Day, I'm no longer single. The unexpected has happened. I think, feel and believe that I have found my (soul) mate. Before meeting each other, we have been talking for very many hours. The 3-dimensional check - see my 2015 blog The 7 Hurdles - has evidenced what I feel. Her Chinese -Western zodiac and mine are very compatible: "A Dog is a wonderful...
I think, feel and believe that I have lost the art of compromising; at least in Love. Nowadays, I prefer being alone. My solitude has - almost - become a principle.

Haar ouderdom (90) maakt ons onmachtig. Sinds kort woont mijn moeder in een woonzorgcentrum omdat het zelfstandig wonen onverantwoord was geworden (o.a. het vallen). Ze lijkt...
I’m in a new phase of my rollercoaster of solitude and loneliness. I failed to see this coming, despite part 6 of this blog series from October 2024. My comforting feeing of solitude seems to have vanished into thin air. Feelings of (temporary) loneliness have replaced my solitude. I can hardly remember such feelings.
