So for some reason, coworkers, friends and even random people from my past have been asking me about my non-existent lovelife recently.
And in the last year, I've come to the conclusion that I'd like to be able to fulfill a philosophy that I have always had floating around in my head. But these days, it just seems like something to really strive for and more realistic every time I have to endure another couple talking about their fucked up problems, every failed relationship attempt and every sappy love single being played recklessly on mass radio.
This philosophy is "We all die alone. The ideal (realistic or not) is to be alone.. And happy."
For some reason, when I lay this out as a possible option, people's heads explode.
So I ask Tribe, a perfect love-seeking, milestone-ridden, coming-of-age demographic: hoping to be alone and happy: a post-modern ideal or pessimism?
EDIT: please don't say cynicism until you give me your definition of cynicism.
