Well, from your OP, I assume you are a lonely person... Now just imagine you meet a woman (at your workplace, store, gas station, anywhere) and unexpectedly something clicks... A relationship develops, soon you marry or live together, she convinces you how nice it'd be to have kids...
Then 10, 12 maybe 15 years pass and, again unexpectedly you start to realize that something's missing in your life: FREEDOM... Then slowly it invades your mind, your soul... to the point that one sunday afternoon you're visiting a museum with the whole family and you happen to give a 2nd look at a painting that represent Freedom and despite your best efforts to hold them, tears roll down your face... You can no longer listen to songs that praise Freedom without feeling a sort of discomfort within your heart...
Believe me Matty, after 8 years I know how it sucks when no one gives a shit about you but, although it can sometimes make you feel lonely, there is NOTHING like being Free...
