To find a long term partner who wants the same thing. ALone sucks.

This hits too close to home right now. I will just say that I am preparing now so that I do not have to go through what my mother is going through at the moment.

I'm not quite sure. When I think about my life, I can more or less divide it into 20ish-year eras with a few overarching themes:

Age 0-21ish - education, birth family, friends, work
Age 21ish-40ish - add wild years, chosen family, serious relationships, community organizations, career
Age 40ish-60 (now) - add LTR, chronic illness

I feel like I have at least one more good 20-year era left. I've been keeping a list of ideas on my phone. The list is short; it includes getting past these illnesses, as much as possible. Could it include another LTR? I don't know. Education and work/career might be over and done with, but I'm keeping everything else. I might even have some wild moments left, at least I hope so.
