Thomas, there is so much truth to what you are writing. My friends as a child were always a generation older than I was. I always felt they knew so much more and were just more “ put together” than people my age. And that still holds true. You have so much to offer and yes, deserve to have someone who meets you where you are and has an appreciation for all of your work, your creativity and love. It’s so hard and lonely at times. I don’t have your pedigree of skillsets, nor quite your intense energy for life right now, but we definitely agree that men half your age have nothing on you. I hope you find someone wonderful with whom you can fully live the next years of your life.
