Actually, there aren't that many people who are still single in their mid-50s, right?
I am currently in that position.
I truly respect married people, and on one hand, I envy them.
I think that building a family—even an ordinary one—is not easy and is truly something impressive that deserves applause.
However, looking at some of the posts here, I find it a bit disappointing.
Just as I do not know the joy of raising children
or the happiness of living in a family,
married people likely do not know what a single life is like at this age.
Yet, people speak as if being single and living alone is inherently unhappy and painful in this way and that...
as if a life lived alone must be miserable and unhappy.
Even if it is not an incredibly blissful life,
there are many singles who live quite enjoyably and meaningfully.
Please do not make assumptions about a life you do not know.
Let us all just live our lives well, whether they were chosen or thrust upon us.
I do not know what life as a single person in my 60s will be like either.
Even when that time comes, I will continue to live life to the fullest.
