A Tumblr follower sent a note to me, expressing their desire to share all the love in their heart, but the frustration of what seems to be limits in their situation.
I'm sharing my reply, below - it might be relevant for someone else.
"49 is a great age to be. I will say that your 50's will be an amazing decade for you. Even though you are in a rural place, there might be the perfect person for you in your area. The internet is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand it brings people worldwide together, on the other are the realities of distance. Unless one or both have the flexibility to literally leave and start a new life together, it's very difficult to sustain. The ocean always seems to get in the way. That's the sad reality of it. If it's possible for you, perhaps you could meet a lovely person in town. We all want love in our lives. You will certainly find it. Have trust that person's out there wanting the same."
I started to think about the film Last Christmas. Emilia Clarke's character, Kate, is making some wrong decisions in her quest to find love. She views her life as a mess, and her decisions are adding to it. It's only until she's shown that she can find love through other pathways, does she find peace, acceptance and what will be a happier more fulfilling chapter in her life. The final scene in the film is of her writing in her journal - happy, healthy, positive and peaceful.
There are so many times in life when we've all felt the frustration of being single.
I've said it before and will again:
"Trust the process. Life is merely shaping you and in doing so, adding something incredible to you. Have faith. Life will open a gift for you."
That famous adage still hold true.
When one door closes, another will open.
Trust. Hope. Faith.
Here's the most important part:
Reach for what you desire to help that door to open. Keep reaching until it does.
It will come to you.

So
since it's holiday season, I have a film I think everyone, and I mean absolutely everyone needs to watch
I'm dead serious.
Watch it. Now.
It's hilarious, it's heartwarming and the most comforting and sweet film I've ever seen.
Basically, it's a brilliant take on the origin story of Santa Claus and how writing letters is totes important and we should all write letters and do kind things for one another.
As Klaus said: "One true, selfless act always sparks another."
I watch this film every holiday season with my family and I cannot get tired of it. Every time it brings me to tears. Happy comfort tears, of course.
It's on Netflix. Do yourself a favour, please.
Watch this adorable silly film

This poll includes gender as a factor because of a fake reddit story that claimed being attracted to the grinch is “incredibly common among women.”
