Posting private singles listings

Hello all! I was here once, long ago, and I’m back. That said, things have changed so much that now I’m not sure if I’m doing this right. Forgive me if I’m not, please.

I am single and after several years, I am looking to retire that status.

I am currently existing in the state of Arkansas—a place I would rather not be. I have lived many places during my life, enough to know this isn’t where I want to remain until I die. The sooner I leave this most inhospitable place, the better.

I have endured personal tragedies that have taught me a whole lot about life in general, but particularly about the life I had before those tragedies. My perspectives have changed in nearly every facet of life. My arrogance was replaced by humility in the areas it was lacking.

It was because of those events in my life that I chose to be single. While emotional isolation betrays nature, sometimes it is necessary to take a break, step back, and objectively re-evaluate. I have done this ad nauseum.

I’m stepping out to rejoin society, but not as a whole. I only want to surround myself with like-minded people as such as possible.

I will respond and post when prompted. To learn more about me, though, you can visit my personal website. I decided to build this site when my fingers became tired or my voice became weak from repeating myself so often. The stories I tell are old news to me and have become tiresome to regurgitate over and again.  

Some people would rather get the listicle version or be able to pick and choose what they want to know—for better or worse. This way, anyone can know what they would like to and at the pace they choose. Don’t be too disappointed, if you visit. Much like me, it is a work in progress.

It may sound like a lazy and impersonal way to do things, but it also accommodates my health issues and is there when my environment doesn’t allow me to be present.

Have a great day!  Deborahgwest. Oh yeah, the password is debgwest.

Hi Deb,
It takes courage to step out of the isolation after enduring personal tragedies. I've been in a similar boat and searching for a peaceful shore to land my boat on. I found this group where sharing and learning about relationships has been helpful.   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqtteEJrR1zyEVNvoJgxioA   Watch some of the uploaded sessions and if you want to participate and learn more there's live group sessions on Monday evenings. Let me know if you're interested and I'll share how to get on board.
