I’ve always been comfortable being alone. Perhaps that’s because I was an only child and I’m good at entertaining myself, but I know a lot of single women and men over 50 who hate being alone. It reminds me of Susan Sarandon’s comment in the film, Shall We Dance, about why people get married.“There’s a billion people on the planet,” Sarandon’s character said. “What does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything.
While I’m happy living alone—I would feel differently if I didn’t have Annie—and I’m happy going to movies, concerts and eating and traveling by myself, Sarandon’s words resonate with me. I don’t have a witness. Since the beginning of time “two” has been an even number, a union, whether it’s two people or two parakeets, while “one” is an odd number. A division. Someone without a witness.
I’m the first to admit it’s special to share a beautiful sunset, the view from the top of the Grand Canyon, the best chocolate cake you’ve ever eaten, or just to sit with someone who loves you and has your best interest at heart. There’s no way you can know that for certain, but let’s say it is.
I’ve been getting on airplanes and going lots of places—by myself this summer—including Mexico, and I have numerous airline reservations left on my calendar. Let’s not wait until everything is perfect. Until we find someone to go with us, or until after we have elective cataract surgery, or maybe we’ll wait until “next year” because there’s the chance we may no longer be single.
