The hardest part of finding true happiness for me was learning to accept not having a lady friend. My goal since Junior High was to have a "steady" girlfriend. Since that time I've had my share. Some better than others. My cousin never got married. He likes to play and he doesn't like any hinderences. I realized a year or so ago that he's smarter than I gave him credit for.
Now I'm happy indeed. No attachments, retired, financially secure, minimum amount of stuff that needs to be cared for, a couple of hobbies that I'm good at, a bunch of CD girlfriends, and two killer wardrobes!
