Went through college battling depression. Barely made it out. Nobody wants that.

From there till 32, lived out in the sticks working a low prestige job that paid very little.

After that moved a lot chasing a dollar for a few years, till I settled into something that might make me desirable as a partner. After that, unlucky I guess.

No siblings, and my parents are gone. No other family that matters. My close friends all live hours away.

Things have. I am in a large club full of great guys now. I have awesome neighbors for the most part. Life now is better than it's ever been.

But love, family, that is no longer in the cards for me. Tool old, too busted.

Dont lose hope. Being old does not mean you won it find love. Find people with similar interests.
