7. I love being alone.

Since my husband died, I am on my own for the first time in my life. It is an incredible experience. No one to check with. Eat what I want. Go to movies I want to see. Binge-watch Netflix. Travel on the spur of the moment. Spend what I want.

I don’t really like people. My husband was one of the few people I liked. Never boring. Most people are boring. I also like my siblings, who have similar interests and political beliefs, so that helps.

I don’t know if I would have felt the same 30 years ago without Facebook or DU. These keep me connected.
