4. I'll guess we're both getting up there and have learned to if not "like ourselves", to at least get along.

I've been married and had long-term relationships several times as well as some significant alone time.

I value both. I do like having someone close that likes to share many things, but there are usually things that aren't shared, and even desired with most couples/etc. I am jealous of those that have worked everything out to perfect harmoniousness.

Nowadays I find my best companionship with people that also enjoy nature and the outdoors. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about many things in nature but I feel a connection and a calming while being close. Good companions also have similar feelings and are comfortable with quiet appreciation.

Sometimes there might be a mention of current events (the unholy three), but they are quickly lost in the natural surroundings.
