Just celebrated my 39th Birthday alone. Went to eat at one of my favorite steak place alone. Enjoyed an Old Fashion alone. Ate a juicy ribeye alone. Booked a hotel suite at my local casino and resort alone. Bought a birthday cake and blew out the candles alone. Went swimming alone. Gambled and mostly ended up losing money alone. Drank at the bar and toasted alone. Cried myself to sleep... alone.

Woke up and I'm still alone. No "real" friends, no one in my family that I really got along with. No partner to share this journey with.
