I have moved to a remote Scottish Island and living alone at 60 is paradise. The freedoms.
Oh gosh, that sounds good. The night skies must be something...
@@SIERRATREES yes, the best thing is watching the sun rise over the sea, it's a magical light, in summer only properly dark for a couple of hours.
So happy for you ,wish I could do the same thing.
how to provide for. ur life ?.how much $ do u need?
Hi netty I moved to Australia 17 years ago 3kids in Europe and 4grandkids so I feel your pain
When it comes to family
You have a great day👌
True Daphna, thanks. To live alone is very common here in the Western world. I'm a Swedish single woman in my 40s, no kids, and I have lived alone most of my adult life. I also travel alone a lot, and I have now lived in 10 countries on 4 continents, moving to all these countries alone! I lived in India last year for four months working there. Most Indians did not comprehend my loneliness at all, as Indians normally live with their huge families all their lives. However, I'm happy because I have a great mission in life, and that's to help animals, human children, and nature, and to make this planet a better place. 🙌🌍💖
😍😍😍😍
interesting i like that me too like to be alone always
Tack för din kommentar. Jag följer också daphne. Bor i England med min partner, men har under många år levt som solo. och va helt ok med det. Oxå Har inga barn. Själv valt från min sida. Folk har åsikter om man inte har barn och lever själv. Betyder inte att man är ensam som du naturligtvis vet. Tyckte att det var roligt att läsa en kommentar från en svensk som jag själv är. Kram. Skriv tillbaka om du känner för det. Lexi

I think most people would love to be in loving relationship. I would love to share my life with a beautiful lady. Sharing your life with a partner that you love is the ultimate.
Living alone for the first time ever at 67! I do have a three year old black Labrador 🐕🦺 My husband died 6 months ago - He was a strong /very capable man. I am suffering from anxiety daily but still doing my best to overcome constant challenges. Thank you for your videos 👊
I'm really grateful you are here sending you a big hug❤️❤️❤️
I found it really hard being alone when I got divorced 10 years ago. Felt really lonely.
Now I just love it. I realize we're all different, so maybe you might never enjoy it, but I'm just mentioning this to let you know things might turn around.
Take care
A lot of women are just tired of looking after men and feeling unsatisfied. Something needs to change as its not looking good for future generations. I live alone and love the peace and freedom. I felt more lonely and stressed out in my last relationship. We need more women's groups and find our tribes ❤
I feel the same. Alone and very content with my life.
I'm sure the man felt the same about you too~ 🙂he's no doubt loving not being nagged anymore! lol
@@fabianpatrizio2865 you're the reason women prefer to be alone, you jumped on my comment to criticise me when l said nothing about you. Lol right back at you.
Loneliness is a mindset. Be happy within yourself and make the most of your time in solitude. Thank you for this video, you are proof of how you a single person can really enjoy life.
Make the most of your solitude, I agree. But also modern life confines us to our homes. The loneliness we feel is a response to a unique situation we have never experienced before
Thank you Daphna.
I disagree, loneliness can be circumstantial. I’ve lived in 16 different countries and in some of them I felt lonely...why? Because I had nobody to do things with. So I was happy and never lonely in Morocco, Greece, Ireland, Spain and Italy but I didn’t have such a good time in Portugal or Holland where people were generally nice (although the Portuguese are nowhere near inherently as happy as the Italians, as a very general rule and in the Algarve a lot of them resent the tourists and rich expats who move there - I think because long term affordable housing is hard to find and the minimum salary is extremely low). So to say “loneliness is a mindset” isn’t accurate. I agree, you can do self-help work and change your mood but if you’re lonely because of lack of people, eg just to have a coffee with (digital friends are different) then yes, loneliness can be caused by circumstances and as Dapha said, a reponse to a unique situation we have never experienced before. I adore solitude but I’ve been lonely in places. And I’m never lonely if there are dogs around...:)
@Daphna. agreed....it's a basic human need to want to be in community and have strong intimate relationships of some kind. Enjoying your own company or solitude is very different from being lonely .
I so agree with you there. You rock!❤
I’ve been living alone for 12 years and I love it
Been alone most of my life. Its seems to be my default setting ! Ive tried to challenge it, but alas, it didn't work. The good news is, its can be done happily. As always, its so important to appreciate what is good, and attach the right commentary with it.
I wouldn't change anything. I love living alone. I'm never bored. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Daphnna, speaking from uk! I congratulate you about your videos. In our days, it is more usual to see mature ladies living and enjoying to be alone! I am one of them! And i am very happy!
I am 55y, i am a potuguese living in uk sjnce 2013. After separate from my husband, and my kids flying, i decided to fly too from comfort zone. After work in luxembourg, france, ireland, i decided live in uk. And i am very happy!! Independent, happy, free! It is the best time of my life!!
I'm alone yet not lonely. And still would love to share life with another. Now just need to go out side and meet that special one.
Thank you for sharing! It's very touching to hear that you're content with your own company yet open to the possibility of sharing life with someone special. Wishing you all the luck on your journey! 💖
This is why I text my elderly relatives daily! ❤️ And, visit them several times a week.
That is so sweet
Loneliness is a topic that we should talk about more. Thank you for sharing your perspective. (from California)
I agree. Thank you for your comment
After my mother died from cancer, my issue was that I have all this time on my hands after helping to look after her. Still trying to figure things out especially when perimenopausal/menopausal has kicked in. Will get there. It's a journey, not a race. ❤
So sorry dear..have you considered adopting a kitten or puppy. Trust me you will never regret 💖
Living alone is awesome! It allows you to truly appreciate your own strengths, thoughts and feelings. As an independent woman you appreciate yourself and abilities more. I love my freedom!🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️
I like your vibe. I am also 50, work in the UK, and frequently travel to northern Portugal where I own real estate. I am just in love with Portugal and Portuguese. I have not retired yet because my job pays quite well and gives me the freedom to travel. I live alone too but always hang around with people so I never feel alone.
What can you share about finding a fulfilling job?
I can't connect with most people, and they usually annoy me. So, being alone is NOT a problem. Sure, I get lonely at times, but it's not worth the price I have to pay for a relationship.
Same here. I'm a person having high morals and standards. Most people have low morals and huge egos nowadays, I've noticed. They drain me. So, I'm avoiding most people nowdays. I will only be in a relationship having a romantic partner again, if it's wow, extraordinary and true love, otherwise I'm happier alone.
@helenatapper7779 I think wow and extraordinary are high expectations for a relationship. LTRs that are fulfilling, I believe, will often be...routine and not always exciting. That may be the price for security and reliability.
@@JaySmith-pv2mw That's true. But I have lowered my standards a couple of times, and then I ended up in ordinary and boring relationships, some of them being even toxic and destructive. So, now it's the "soulmate" deal for me or nothing, I think. And yes, we all do have several soulmates on this planet. Everything is possible. ✨
We can feel lonely in a relationship too. I am happy and feel much more myself since I am Single. But I have a Social Circle , Sports and hobbies so don’t feel lonely. I see some couples staying together because they are afraid to live alone. Which is not a good base for a relationship.
So true. Every one deserves to be in a relationship where they feel valued, respected, and supported. Thank you for pointing it out
Living alone is ok till the day you become ill and need a helping hand and there is nobody in reach .The older we get we will need all sorts of help 🙏
It's a valid concern, and I’ve definitely given it some thought. I've decided I can’t let fear stop me from enjoying life. Of course while making sure I take all necessary steps to be covered in case that happens
This is true.
you can always meet friends. even my family wouldn't really be able to help too much even if they were around and some partners wouldn't be any help at all
@@mimi7914Not really. I got a mystery illness at age 56. No people came. It’s not fun. I was married but was at drs a lot. Every kind. It ended up being a brain tumor. So 10 year journey of illness surgery and recovery. My husband passed away and now alone 2 years with long covid. But I have gained a lot of knowledge and survival and enjoy my time alone. I’m a survivor. I recently moved near my daughter who is having a baby. Wow what a ride.
Neighbours friends family ex partners .. all can be happy to help
This was good to hear
I have grown children and grandchildren, I’m 54 and by choice have been living alone for 7 years now. It was tough initially, then I got used to it and enjoyed it but now I’m struggling a bit when I’m not at work because I’m a little tired of my own company and honestly do seek true friendship which is not easy to find .
Who knows what the future holds ?
❤️❤️❤️
I wish I could live alone. Waiting impatiently for my 22-year old son to be ready to fly so I can finally fulfill my dream.
And what is the dream? if you dont mind sharing
I think you need to make it quite clear its his time to become an adult and move on Mom has done her job and now she wants her life back i made it clear to my three at this age no longer children but young adults it was time for them to move out the Girls are light years ahead of the Boys in this matter be kind but be strong DD.
@@Daphna. to be a digital nomad. I want to spend a few months in one place and then move to another with the freedom of working from my computer. Thank you so much for your videos. They inspire me to go after my freedom from the 9 to 5 grind 🙏💖💯
Good point David
It warms my heart to hear that my videos have inspired you . I wish you all the best on your next exciting chapter of your life
I enjoy living alone. X I feel lonely with people
So do I. You are not alone in that experience.
Great message to share! Thank you! I don't live alone, but have been in the past, and I really enjoyed it. If a woman is financially independent, it could be really lovely to live alone if you are that kind of person, of course. I love solitude, reflection, talking to God, reading, and writing, just sitting in front of a beautiful scenery , breathing, observing, taking my time... and do it whenever I feel like it. That's a bliss, the way I perceive it.
Never alone in this world , there is always somebody close by or phone call or step away that cares and will make you smile .
Your words are comforting and heartwarming. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful reminder with us
Gen X here...I absolutely LOVE living alone, with my dogs, hands down!!! I didn't even raise kids, to have that as an excuse. 😂 I'm extremely independent, always have been my entire life. I was married at 40 and divorced at 47. Have always been in one relationship after another. But since my divorce I seem to keep picking long distance relationships. This is the longest I've been single, a yr now. The last relationship ending a yr ago lasted 5 yrs long distance & we were engaged the last yr, but neither of us would move for the other - him in Ontario Canada and me in Phoenix Az. I honestly could have easily gone on, getting married and living in different countries, visiting each other and traveling every 2 months, like we did for 5 yrs. But he was too co dependent and needed someone around all the time. He kept talking about the fear of the "What ifs"...what if I have a heart attack and no one is here to help me. Well, that could happen even if you live with someone and they are at work, or out. Yes, I do get worried about getting really old and then needing someone around. But I think I'll always have friends and family I can count on, God willing. ❤
Good luck for the future 🤞
I have been divorced (my choice) for 12 years, I am now 62. I think I will be single for the rest of my life, I love it!! I am a Sigma male and a INFJ (Briggs Myers test) I weight train 6 days a week, I am stronger now than I have ever been, I eat and train for longevity, I feel 30 years of age and people are shocked when I tell them my age. I work in the oil and gas offshore industry in Western Australia working 2 weeks on and 1 week off. I don’t worry about anything. I am just off to have my breakfast, smashed avocado, eggs on turmeric toast at Trigg island Perth, overlooking the absolutely beautiful Indian Ocean.😁😁❤
You got me at smashed avocado on turmeric toast overlooking the ocean - thats living life!!
I've lived without another adult (most of the time this was debatable anyway) in the house for almost 13 years, although both my kids (early teen and late teen) are living with me. I've gotten used to not having an adult around, and yes, I have downsized and am planning on living the expat life in the EU once my youngest goes to college. I would prefer to live with someone but am not desperate - only if we are compatible, including financially.
Good point about being compatible financially
"only if we are compatible, including financially." Well said and financially is an important issue, no scholarships for travel.
@@wesm3848 Ha- no scholarships - good one!
I completely relate to the little disasters when living alone! I relocated to the Algarve alone after a divorce and have had several power outages and a water overflow issue in my kitchen. I've had to learn to manage my own car maintenance which was something I didn't do before. I have even had to relocate a giant, hairy Algarvian Tarantula from my living room to the garden at 2 am. I have not lived alone for 28 years. It has been an adjustment, but I also enjoy it in many ways. That said, I do enjoy being a part of a couple and hope that is in my future.
It sounds like you've been through quite the adventure since relocating to the Algarve. My jaw dropped at "giant tarantula at 2 am". That's some serious disaster! but it sounds like you're handling it all with grace and resilience
They have tarantulas in the Algarve?😮
@@Daphna.yikes! the tarantula 😮
Hey Daphna, Thanks for sharing .. I have been living alone for past 3.5yrs since my partner of 28yrs suddenly passed during Covid. While it was a big shock to my system and I certainly had many lonely moments in the first 2/3 years I have to say, that one upside has been I am now much more independent and rely on myself for my happiness which was not the case when I was married (I was spoilt I suppose!). I agree with you that it would be ‘nice’ to have company to share those simple yet special moments .. while I have no need for that, I do have a desire for it (and there’s a big difference between the two 😊).. I enjoy your videos & I do admire you for doing what you’ve done 👍🏽 💯
THANK YOU for being here ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I came across your TH-cam channel today. You have made me think again about moving away from the UK to somewhere in Europe. I am fortunate in that I hold dual British and Irish citizenship. I can therefore move to somewhere in Europe using my Irish (EU) citizenship. I am an active 70 years old, and I feel so constrained in the UK. Good luck to you. 👍
thanks for these nice words❤️
I am envious of those people who find their sole mates and spend their lives with that one person. How fortunate they are! Unfortunately, as in my case, so many of us marry the wrong person, or the marriage breaks down for a myriad of reasons and we find ourselves alone after many years of marriage and raising our families. In former generations it was not an option for a woman to leave and live on her own. She just could not afford to. Now, most women have the resources to be able to live on their own. I love my solitude and enjoy it when I can, but I also have 4 kids, 3 Grandchildren and a few good friends, one that I travel with for several months of the year so I feel very blessed to enjoy the best of both worlds! 🤷🏼♀️ My heart goes out to lonely people. ❤️
thanks for sharing your story and your thoughts with me and the whole community here, your words are so meaningful ❤️
Very true. Poignant timing. Thank you. I need to find my person ❤
I'm sure you will. Best of luck
Dreaming of to be able to afford to live alone 🙏 thank you for every video
Hugs❤️❤️❤️
Having time to oneself to do things fulfilling when alone is enjoyable. Feeling empty and lost due to being lonely is not so good. It's nice to have at least 1 person who you look forward to communicating with or even better spending time with. Whether a family member, relation or somebody outside your community. Who would not enjoy a stranger smiling kindly and showing you hospitality like a long lost friend. Even having a bonded pet helps break loneliness.
I love travelling with people but also by myself for short periods. Travelling alone for 3 weeks in Australia.
I do not live alone but love doing things by myself. I have a lot of friends but also enjoy my own company.
This lady is nothing but sweetness sharing the best when she could just keep all to herself! I admire ND respect you I honestly do! Keep Shinning Dafna 🎉
Wow, you do research! Enjoying this channel, thanks!😊
❤️❤️❤️
Hello daphné i've heard your topic and I found it usuful me too i'm so alone as a migrant in France, its so hard to find and keep a relationship with someone
Good job
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. You're not alone in feeling the challenges of being an immigrant. It can be tough to find relationships in a new country
Thank you I’ve been alone all my life single only neglected and abandoned child, gas light and swerved the matrix of family nepotism but somehow get fooled into believing. I’m lonely when actually it’s why choose and prefer solitude
so I’m not sure why the ego is lying with my heart! ❤️
I prefer to live alone, really enjoying the freedom and most of all: not having to be 'on call" all the time 😂
We need to create communities!!!
Absolutely true!
agree fully,it would be wonderful for single people to be together enjoying
Have always said this!
Fantastic content!❤
Good Morning before i added my tuppence worth to your thought provoking video i had to go away and thing about my answer i think i was about 4 years when i was placed into a type of boarding school Monday to Friday evening back to School on a Sunday evening i had lost my Dad however the rest of my life i think i have been blesses ,when my marriage broke up i had just started a new job and from the new job i met my second Wife it all happened within a few months i did rent a room in a large single parent family home for about six months was treated as a family member totally integrated in fact we are still great friends to this day so no i have not experienced being lonely except in my early childhood and that was really sad i can still feel it to this day thank you for your video made me think.
It's incredibly moving to hear about your journey through different stages of life. The way you've navigated through life's ups and downs, finding love and support. I’m glad my video inspired you to reflect on your experiences. Thank you for your sharing
@@Daphna. My pleasure DD.
I'm one, my life style is what saves me,want to do it out of usa though,portugal top of my list, need to walk through that fear
I loved Portugal and the lifestyle. Thanks for the post. ❤
It is an extraordinary country indeed
You are gorgeous Daphna, your eyes shine with happiness.
Your comment brightened up my day🙏 Wishing you all the happiness in the world
I was looking forward to the ‘living alone’ once the kids were gone. It was an interesting feeling and one that felt I was 20 something again without the same groupa friends. Definitely moving offshore was a great move which does highlight living alone however finding friends is great given they are mostly from everywhere except from your own country….refreshes the mind and opens up more possibilities yet I know it is best shared with someone special…also a great recent refresher was taking a six month break from all social media…so now fast forward I am very much looking forward to sharing time together with someone after all humans are really social creatures that are best together with each other….just like many birds n animals…ciao for now,…..
The Golden Girls had the right idea
This is a very important topic to me, actually. I am alone, expect to be alone when I retire, will probably be alone for the rest of my life. While being alone now doesn't bother me too much (I'm pretty content with it now), the thought of being alone forever as I get older is a bit unsettling. I am mid 50's, plan on retiring in about 7 years (maybe sooner) and Portugal is on my short list of possible retirement locations. Over the next couple years I plan to go to each of the countries on my list to explore and see which I feel most comfortable in. I do not see myself in the United States after retirement for long. Anyway, let me go check out some of your other videos now, your topics are very relevant to me. So glad I ran across your channel, Thank you!
It's not the destination, but the journey that matters. Best of luck on your adventure. I’m rooting for you
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome! Please share what resonated with you
You inspire me ❤
Thank you!!! May I ask what inspired you?
I’m 59. After loosing my Haby 17 years ago I was trying to have meaningful relationship and find a partner, after two 7 years long relationships I’m done . I’m alone absolutely not lonely. Enjoy my freedom. I find travelling solo is awesome. Instead of talking to only your partner I talk to everyone that I come across. Love it 🥰
sending you lots of love from Portugal Xxx
Wow!Your videos are educational and inspiring.I am grateful your videos came up on my feed.❤😊😊😊
❤️❤️❤️
It takes a village. Like the happiness study that showed how people who still had the "village," e.g. Okinawa, Japan, lived longer and were happiest. And we have lost that in much of this modern world. It sounds like joining an expat community brings back the village. That is what I remember when my family lived overseas while I was in high school... we had such wonderful community... we had the village. Thank you for reminding me of one of the most wonderful things about living abroad.
Thank you for sharing your story Dave
Thank you found the information useful 😊
Keren nih😊
Thank you,high price with panic attacks.I don't feel it is normal for me.xx
I LIKE MY FREEDOM AND LIVING ALONE. I AM 80 YEARS OLD AND I AM IN EXCELLENT HEALTH. I MAKE MYSELF HAPPY EVERYDAY. I AM LIVING IN A COUNTRY WITH GREAT WEATHER, PEOPLE
I PURCHASED AMD DESIGNED MY APT. MEET PEOPLE EVERY LICALS SMD NEW PEOPLE. SO DO NOT JUDGE PEOPLE BY STATISTICS...
That’s very inspiring! Tnx for sharing ❤️
WHERE I LIVE VIRTUALLY HAS NO STRESS, SAFW, VERY SLOW, SIMPLE LIFE. I THINK PEOPLE WHO LOOK AT STATISTICS AND LISTEN TO WHAT MEDIA, GOVERNMENTS AND SONETIMES FAMILY HAVE TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES AND FIND OUT WHAT MAKES THEM LIVE A HAPPY AND TRANQUIL LIFE. SO WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY. BY THE WAY, I LOOK PHYSICALLY MENTALLY ABOUT 20 YEARS OR MORE YOUNGER THAN MY AGE.
Sorry about the typo's
in my mid 50s; have been single now 18 months after 11 years in r’ship.. (but not living together).. kids grown up and doing their own thing..
I retired from full time work this year and am busying myself at the gym, swimming club, surf club (more); helping out my neighbours and catching up with family..
travelling alone is good but is different ; the peace is the payoff ..
☮️❤️☀️🏄♂️💦🌟🇦🇺🎶
I'm really grateful you are here sharing your story ❤️❤️❤️
I'm 37 and I love living alone
We are living longer, too. So, this may be why people are seeking different ways of living. So, for most of us. Maybe we spend part of our lives with others and part of our lives solo.
With people living longer than ever before, it makes sense that we spend part of our life in companionship and other parts in solitude, embracing different phases of life as they come
We have gradually moved away from listening to the older generation, those who did live to be in their 80's. They all tell you, it's those tiny things about your partner that you just cherish and can't imagine not having in your life. With social media we also have this delusion about companionship and human community.
These tiny things about your partner, I agree
Thank you for commenting.
I prefer sharing life. I've spent the most part of my adult life single. My kids Mom passed away early in the kids life. I spent almost 20 years raising kids. Had a few marriages that I shouldn't have gotten into with more kids. If I found the right person I would much rather share it! I could share Portugal. Really like your videos and personality! Find you very attractive!

Grateful for your compliments. As for who captures me in motion, it's often my b-roll guy
Living together could also look like co-living with other like minded individuals. Kinda like “the Golden Girls” group. In retiree states like Florida, Arizona, we have a lot of 55+ communities co-living with lots of activities. I think that as people get up in age, look into some of these options as research shows loneliness can lead to depression and ultimately affect your health. I guess as long as you’re alone and happy vs being lonely and depressed.
Funny that you say that. I had “the golden girls “ in the back of my mind while I was talking. I think its a wonderful idea
Great video!
Live in England it seems the norm to be single and live by yourself .. everyones broughtup their kids and now gone their separate ways in their 50's
I don't see why not living with someone means eating dinner alone or watching a movie alone .. you can do this with a friend or the person your seeing.
Have you not heard of " together apart " where couples want their own space and get together when they want to ? It's very common and imo desirable especially if you've lived by yourself a few years. I think it's a great idea and keeps the romance alive!
As for pet ownership that obviously rose dramatically in lockdown and people haven't got rid of their pets because lockdowns over.
Reading groups hiking groups can be enjoyed regardless of your relationship status!!
Yes it would be lovely to be with someone special.. without the pressure of moving in together and I certainly wouldn't advocate moving in together for purely financial and health reasons !
Such an interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing❤️
I didn't count how many times you mentioned 'old'. You are not old nor do you look old. Meeting new people with similar interests does not require cohabitation or intimacy. Lots of expat communities with opportunities to hang out.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your perspective. It means a lot to me
68 and liking my lifestyle.
Wonderful to hear and it's truly inspiring
you are amazing!! xxxx
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me. Would you share what inspired you?
@@Daphna. How you show how to live bravely without fear.
I can't afford to live alone I wish I could 😢
Hugs❤️
Where in Portugal have you moved? I move to Caldas da Rainha from Sweden for six years ago.I found it very good.
We are not wired to be alone.
We're also hardwired to have kids, but many people choose not to.
You're not a slave to how you are 'wired'. We are all sovereign beings and can deprogram from the propaganda of 'relationships'.
When you make certain claims would you be so kind to cite or leave a link to the academic papers you're referencing, for example if you would for your claim that "loneliness is more damaging
than smoking or drinking six alcoholic beverages".
Many thanks!
I dont fully believe the health comparisons if you live solo.
A large amount of couples live in a hostile home,always arguing with affairs etc... perhaps in older age.
Moving on, do you ever get bored working from home?
What is the worst things for you living in Portugal?
It's true that being in a relationship that faces challenges like arguments and other issues, probably doesn't guarantee health benefits .
Living in Portugal, like anywhere else, has its ups and downs, but overall, it's a wonderful place to be. If I had to pick one thing that's challenging for me, it might be the feeling of missing my daughters
@@Daphna. I understand that but it's easier with What's App video calling etc.
Yes Portugal is very nice.
of course @shaunbat5097 ☺️
I am happy without a man, but I wouldn’t be unhappy to have a good man by my side.
Amazing to hear that you're happy and content on your own - that's such a beautiful thing. And keeping your heart open to the possibility of a good man entering your life someday, that's absolutely wonderful too
Lonleynes efecet mental health ❤
I live in a City area and cant help but run into people around the neighborhood. Church groups are awesome, or gardening. Im sure there are online chat groups that can be joined, and I wonder if thats going to be more common.
Living alone or as a couple is a personl choice. Neither is right gor everyone.
Quando falaste que teve que chamar o eletricista, em português, fiquei curioso: como está teu desenvolvimento no idioma?
My Portuguese is very basic. Now that Ive completed the bureaucratic part of settling in Portugal, I will finally have more time to invest in learning it
@@Daphna. It s not an easy task... I tried to learn italian - its worse than portuguese - and gave up. But living there, dayly practicing you ll do it!!
Well not to mention older seniors. 🤔
Thank you for bringing up this point. It's true that older seniors often face even greater challenges with lonliness
❤❤
❤🤗💪💯😎☕☕Yes
In my opinion, Living as a couple is better for the reasons you mentioned.
You can be lonely in a room full of people
I tought you live with the person that films you outdoors.
You are referring to my b-roll guy😊
HAHA Correct.
🥰🤩💓
Past your prime but sure why not 🎉
Talking about yourself I suppose
Hope you find a nice person not good 👀🫣😳😩🌎🤔😉😉😉
