But now, I have decided that I am no longer a "Bus" rider. I am now driving my own motor home!
I do remain open to the possibility of sharing this global adventure drive with a romantically incline other. However, counting the weeks, months, and finally years of "Bus riding" kind of depresses me. So, I like the thought of being independent. Open to possibilities. And, not missing a second of life by and by. It is a different focus. A zest for full life that is open to opportunities and adventures. BUT, not so focused on my bus seat.
Know what I mean "Bus riders"?
I get it. You want to lead this excursion. The bus and a your friends can follow you to different adventures and party when we arrive. When you find that special someone the party bus will approve, and start taking a different path.
About this motorhome, what's it like? Pics?
I had a pop up for years. I love camping, as long as I'm not sleeping on the ground and have ac.
Hugs,
K

The motorhome is figurative. In reality, it manifests as a "GO FOR THE GUSTO" lifestyle and is driven internally.
Over the past few years, the "Motorhome" has often taken the form of an airline tix and an airport rental car, with a destination... and a very loose route. I will certainly head off the beaten path to experience the possibilities along the way.
The "Motorhome" has also taken the form of job offerings in remote and unusual locations, that open up experiences I would not have had if I had stayed married. But too, the "Motorhome" often takes me out of my comfort zone. You know... on to unexplored roads that sometimes have "Hazards Ahead" signs! Basically, the "Motorhome" concept pushes me out of my comfort zone, to live a life I would LIKE to live, but sometimes need that extra little push to actually step into. I guess, for me, it is a mindset that places me into the drivers seat ... and the journey is EXCITING! I would like to share it with a beloved other (that is not a dog!), but if this fella and I do not meet-up, well ... I sure am having a wonderful adventure!

There's a sense of pride that comes from ridding this bus 
Yup! Getting off it wouldn't take that much effort but I want more and deserve it so I'll continue to sit here and enjoy the ride 
Real love is a CHOICE, NOT a feeling...

Oh my. More than four years on the bus and I think I'm a stowaway. I didn't buy the ticket. Sometimes it hurts but most days I'm fine with it. I want to be held close. I want whispers in my ear. I want a snuggle into my neck.
Okay! Better stop this crap now! ahahahahahaaa
Seriously; I just want a good friend and let a relationship blossom. Is that too much to ask?

I'm a little nervous. When I pulled up SI just now, the Google Ad at the top was advertising for bus drivers. Does this mean we are just careening down the highway with no driver?

A little over 2.5 years on the bus now, and although it's frustrating at times, I'm good with it. It is a lot less complicated, that's for sure.

I don't Even want to calculate how many years I've been riding the bus! I have found out when it is more frustrating...when there's a person in your life whom you think would be nice!
My doc says a BOB can take care of sex, but it doesn't always work that way....
I'd really like OFF this bus! In the meantime, though, I had to rescue this thread from page 14!!! Yowza! We need a new driver.
