I’ve never had a long term relationship and I’ve never felt lonely when I was on my own. I’ve had relationships but they were never what defined me. I value companionship but it’s not the ultimate goal of my life. What truly matters to me is creating something that inspires others. I want to learn, explore, and dream.
I see that many people on nostr seem to believe the nuclear family is the highest value but it's not an absolute salvation for many. As long as I stay true to my own values, I don’t think I’ll ever feel lonely.

i'm one of those people (kinda)
i just happened to meet a Woman who claimed my existence
love is the highest value, but we should recognize that there are different paths for many
<3
Absolutely. I only date to find someone I truly want to spend the rest of my life with but I haven’t been lucky enough yet. Love is beautiful and if one day I’m with someone, it will be because of love. Not because I’m afraid of being lonely in my 50s...
i love this for you~! :3
💞
i joke my husband pulled me away from my first true path of living in a cabin in the woods filled with books and huskies.
That's a wonderful life that I would like to have!
exactly.
thats great and i’m happy for you, but what if you never find love?
That’s okay. Romantic love is just one form of love. I love so many things so deeply, there’s always love within me.
ok just keep it in mind


Great point. I’ll reorganize my entire existence so Erikson can feel respected 💖
Good chart for reference
Thanks 🙏
umm. ok i’m not trying to tell u how to live your life. and i dont think erikson cares how u live your life either. it’s just information
you can ignore the information if you want but you may be doing so at your own peril
I appreciate the info, but I don’t see life as something that must follow a pre-set developmental ladder.
