I also was thrilled to reach the point where I considered myself completely
self sufficient and was very happy to be on my own.  This came after living
with SO's, living with roomates, living with a houseful of people, sleeping
around, and even moving back with the family for a while.  Here I was, alone
and finally happy to be so (not lonely), and what happens?  I fall in love.
Oh well, here we go again ;-)
