I Discovered the SECRET to Happiness at 67. Find Out How

[@TheSoloSilverPath]

If you have a KZbin channel you'd like to promote, please mention it here with a BRIEF, ONE-LINE description. Happy to help my fellow KZbinrs!! ✨Sprinkle Some Sparkle!✨

[@anEnglishRoseacrossthepond]

HI, Ive just launched my channel as a UK and USA citizen, content is about life both sides of the pond over 50.

[@anEnglishRoseacrossthepond]

and thank you for this video, sharing your heart. We need more presence from the over 50's!

[@carolynbridgeman5981]

I'll be 67 this year. I haven't dated for years and I can't even imagine putting up with any of that ridiculous drama that most relationships entail. I have a great life that I won't give up for someone else's version. I spend most of my time alone. I like it better that way. I used to desperately need attention, now I give it to myself. I love me, finally, finally, after all those years. I will absolutely not allow anyone in my life that doesn't treat me with respect and love. I am an introvert. I read, I watch you tube, I am an artist, and I enjoy my home. I have friends, but I don't need them to regulate my mood. I do that.

[@valsplace1able]

Well said

[@marilyngailnichol]

You have described exactly the way I feel. I am 69 and have not dated (steady) since 2005. Tried internet dating in 2015 and that showed me I am more happy and fun on my own than any man could ever make me.

[@marilynmccormick3731]

You sound like me. I've been married for 62 years and I spend my time much like you. I also attend church & belong to a book club & take care of my physical & emotional health, and enjoy my children & grandchildren so much. If my husband doesn't want to do what I do, I respect it and let him do what he likes ( like watch football), and I do my thing. If I don't feel like cooking, I heat soup or get out fixings for sandwiches & he usually makes his how I make mine. Over these later years I have had to remind him that I am not his mother and he is responsible for feeding himself when I don't prepare a meal. I've enjoy a stress-free, relaxing life once I took control of it.

[@CarolynnMc01]

Hello Carolyn, You and I seem to have the same perspective. I also feel I have a great life, and as you do, I spend the bulk of my time alone. You and I are also the same age. Seven years ago, I decided to start a dog-sitting venture, and I now have a handful of steady clients who hire me to stay with their dog while they are on vacation. One of them travels all over the world often, so I've developed an attachment to the dog over the past 7 years. I can't say I'm alone because I have the best company in the world -- with all my dog buddies who care for me unconditionally. I have a great time with them, and I'm thankful for the work, and they are the best company! I wish you all the best! Take good care. Happy New Year as well. (EDIT: I am also an artist!)

[@acommentator4452]

Well done you. That's the spirit. Mention of fixings for sandwiches made me smile as here in UK fixings only relates to carpentry and house repairs. Eg nails brackets screws and industrial staples. There is a man in India who used to eat screws but I don't advise it. Take care. ​@@marilynmccormick3731

From the writer and great teacher Joseph Campbell, “We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us. Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain. Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” As you have discovered on your journey toward joy, such profound and true words, “Follow your bliss”.

i have been a widow for 15 years now after a 43 yr. marriage. I love living my life alone and have never been happier. When you love yourself you don't need affirmation of your worth from someone else. You are free to spread that love to others without needing anything in return.

[@tomachibald]

Wow, the timing of me seeing this video is perfect, I was with a narcissist for 4 years, and when we stopped seeing each other, i found the love of my life, and because i was trauma bonded, i ended up ruining things but i realized my mistake and did all i could to make sure i got her back.

[@linamoon-mi7wd]

its difficult to let go of someone you love, i am in a similar situation, and i do not know what else do to have him back, i have been dying inside, people actually think i am happy, i am not

I feel your pain , after trying out the no contact experiment that failed miserably, i had to find other means, i had to reach out to a spiritual adviser, it was brilliant idea which i never thought it was, but it worked wonders for me

Finding a person with pure, healthy intentions on a dating app is rare! We all need to consider that dating apps are all about money for the app owners. They are selling false dreams and attracting predators.

I make up my mind every day to be happy, if its to be its up to me. Older men not all are looking for a nurse ot a purce, having a good relationship with myself is priceless. I am never alone, Gods always walking beside me. All relationships are lessons we need to learn. ❤😊

[@bonniel4325]

Lol, "a nurse or a purse!" Ok, out of a hundred thousand men, yes maybe five are not scammers. In fairness, women can be scammers too. At our age, it's best to nurture a good circle of friends we trust. Note to men, women of quality do not dress up in tight clothes with lots of makeup. I don't want a man who falls for that b.s. Rejection is the Lord's protection.

Narcissistic abuse, They know what they’re doing they know how to reel you in. You have to just get out and stop all contact to save yourself. They are addicted to drama, it’s not anything you’re doing wrong they want to create problems it makes no sense to you and it’s called crazy making behavior.

[@ceilhall8626]

I really appreciate what you went through. So many of us (myself included) have had to deal with being blindsided by divorce later in life, only to be subjected to love bombing and other ridiculous behavior while dating shockingly immature men who should be old enough to deal with their issues and address their need for healing instead of acting it all out by hurting women. I am on the same journey that you are on, and your videos are helping me know that I'm not alone in my quest as an older woman (age 70) who is working to become comfortable with myself alone. As I stated in the comments of 2 of your other videos, I have gotten a ton of help with this journey in therapy, and after addressing and healing some childhood trauma (which, for me, had to be done before I could change my habits of thought), I'm finally moving into a place where I am able to practice self love and to learn to lavish the love I give to others onto myself as well. Your videos helping me stay the course, and most of all, you and the people who comment on your videos show me that I'm not alone in this. That's what I need more than anything else - a community of women who are over 60, single, strong, brave, and doing the work that will help us stand on our own with faith, love, and trust in ourselves.

I did not roll my eyes, because I could see my past-self in your story. It is a universal human experience. I keep a quote from the 13th century poet, Rumi as a reminder not to let myself be pulled in to these scenarios in the future. “Half of life is lost in charming others. The other half is lost in going through anxieties caused by others. Leave this play, you have played enough!”. As you can see, these interpersonal dramas have been happening to people for thousands of years. Your inner wisdom told you to “leave this play”, and when you you were ready, you shut that door. When you feel like you are missing the love-bombing, make sure to love-bomb yourself instead. YOU are someone you can trust to be loyal and care about you for the rest of your life. Also, good for you for starting a KZbin channel! I subscribed and will be cheering for you!

Excellent insight, and thank you for sharing your experience and awakening. For those struggling and feeling isolated and confused, it helps to see there is light at the end of that tunnel. Yet, I think the finding the passion piece can be a big hurdle. At least it was for me. I retired at 54 due to illness and my career was such an enormous part of my identity and source of passion and fulfillment, that it left me bitter and lost for several years. I wrestled with disappointment and bitterness until I realized, as you, that no one was coming to give me fulfillment or purpose, nor should they. I had to heal myself and find myself all over again. It is a process, not an overnight success. But I have redefined myself for myself and life is much better, more fulfilling and joyful. Thank you again, for shedding light on this issue.

I’m 52 and never been married, no kids. I learned a lot from observing other women, most of them married with kids. I could go on, but I think most women already know what it is I learned. That’s why the current social and political climate does not surprise me. I live a peaceful, quiet life. Bryon Katie said that if she had a prayer it would be “God, spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation. Amen. I don’t have a prayer, of course, because I don’t want anything but what I have. I know the benevolence of life.” That last part is because about her not having that prayer is because she had already reached what some might say is enlightenment. Anywho, so I’m focused on the “spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation” part. It has set me free and made my anxiety plummet.

I went through something similar myself in a relationship and it was very hurtful. After that ended a year and a half ago I got into therapy because I do not want to repeat that cycle (X husband was similar too) I have been forced to take early retirement due to health issues, but I agree 100% we have to make our OWN lives full and exciting. Fall in love with yourself, don't wait for anyone else to... Buy yourself flowers, cook for yourself, you deserve it, find your passions and things you enjoy! For me, one thing I really enjoy is my church. I love what you are saying and agree 100%. Today was my first time finding your channel and I have subscribed! :)

[@deepikarathore5429]

I'm 30 yrs old. It was like i was listening some Podcast about my life. I had the same kind of experience. Though i haven't found my Passion yet But i learned the lesson for sure. I'm Feeling Thankful That Learning lesson in a hard way sooner. I'm Glad i came across this video i am always worrying that I'm left behind. But Thank you For Being my Guide Angel that it's never too late. Lot's of love and healing to you. And please do not accept that person even if he says that he has changed and he'll marry you or stick with you. He has shown who he is. Don't be fooled Just because it feels hard to be alone. It's better than to be with wrong person. That healing isn't easy. Don't let these people play with our good heart and mind. Take Care.

[@TheSoloSilverPath]

You're absolutely correct and I'm SO HAPPY this message resonated with you! I believe that he will not contact me (not anytime soon at least...he's too selfish), and I hope he doesn't. I asked him to delete my phone number and I highly doubt he has it saved anywhere. You are not alone. I hope you have subscribed. We have amazing people in this group with tons of wisdom. Regardless, thank you so much for watching and the very best wishes for a happy, healthy and peaceful 2025!✨

Glad to see you finally got it. If you aren’t happy with yourself no on & I mean no one can do it for you. If you want to be in a relationship, you’re a grown woman act like it. You didn’t sound like one when you were first telling your story, more like when you were a teenager. Hope you continue to enjoy making videos.

Sorry you can easily get drawn in as I just found out a few days ago .. I'm an intelligent woman who loves myself and got my act together or so I thought. This guy was so enthusiastic and full on I got swept up in the excitement despite knowing better I thought oh I'll be ok why not accept the adoration! Fortunately I said exactly what I was looking for and he's drifting away .... even that was hard ! See easily done

[@cmbooks2000]

Im 67. I learned in my 20s that men lie about the most trite to major things. There are men who prey on women for entertainment and for financial gain. I learned to love and appreciate myself very early on in my 20s. I have insecurities like everyone, but if you just meet someone and they are lavishing praise on you, it's a hustle. I am honest in my delivery and it turns people off. And im okay with that. Everyone is not going to like you. They just aren't. Stop seeking approval of others and people will be much happier. You can Never take an online "romance " seriously. Glad you cut the jerk off.

[@TheSoloSilverPath]

Thank you so much for watching and your honest feedback...I appreciate it more than you know. I don't do online romance. I was actually involved (loosely) with this man. He doesn't live far from me.

[@DreamYourselfAway79]

Best wishes to you too, Teri! 💖🙏 I'm soooo happy you found your passion; you're already bringing some extra joy to my world. 🕊️ Your 'male friend' sounds a lot like my (soon-to-be-ex) husband! He was lovely in that 'love bombing' stage, but man, it's like living with someone with a split personality. He's nice for short bursts or totally indifferent (until he wants something) or plain nasty (yet, I steal his peace! 🤯). You're right! There's never a 'happy medium' with these energy vampires - they'll suck you dry if you let them. I'm one of the lucky ones! He's discarded me in the pursuit of reclaiming his youth (sex, drugs, constant texting for supply, and all that meaningless debauchery). It's emotionally devastating for me at times, but I'm coming to the (happy) realisation that I'm FREE! He doesn't want me anymore; that's a BLESSING in disguise. 💫🥂 Have a fabulous day; I look forward to your next video. 💖

So sorry you experienced that stay strong you are a beautiful woman and you are worthy of true love

[@charlesdavid-p1y]

This captivating video triggers a flood of painful memories from the end of my 6-year relationship just three months ago. The woman I loved with all my heart chose to walk away, leaving me grappling with an insurmountable sense of loss. Despite my relentless efforts to salvage what we had, I'm left feeling disillusioned and unable to imagine a future without her. Despite my attempts to move on, I'm drawn to express my deep-seated longing for her here.

[@DianaJovita]

The struggle to release someone dear to your heart is undeniably arduous. I empathize, having experienced a similar circumstance when my 8 year relationship concluded. Refusing to accept defeat, I pursued every conceivable avenue to reclaim his affection. Eventually, I sought the assistance of a spiritual counselor, whose wisdom and intervention played a pivotal role in reuniting us.

[@charlesdavid-p1y]

Where did you find a spiritual counselor, and how can I get in touch with her?

Suzanne Ann Walters is the name of an exceptional spiritual counselor renowned for her ability to reunite you with your former partner.

I have to walk the walk. I’m positive I’m never letting anyone as far as a partner I mean. Be in my space. The rest of this life belongs to me. I will find my way. I’m giving myself this brutal winter to process and in the spring I’m Hoping I’ll be stronger. I have found some amazing ppl here on KZbin craters to. Ppl o know you would enjoy.

I live with my son and his family and I have no interest in dating but you have given me some great ideas like volunteering, etc. At some point I'll have to look for a place of my own when my son and his wife want to retire and travel. It's a bit daunting but your video has given me the knowledge that it can be done and life can still be interesting. Thank you🥰.

[@FreeSpirit47]

After reading these comments I feel like I might be ahead of the curve. Discovering the mindset that being single & celibate is a happier way to live, much earlier, it made such a positive difference in my life. I was happier, more at peace, it was everyone else that wasn't okay with the changes I made. I got, "You're still young enough to meet someone, maybe have a couple of kids" "You're young & beautiful, you ought to find someone." "Staying single isn't natural. we were designed to share life with another person." "If you find someone now, you won't die alone." Most people seem to need another person to feel complete. The loneliness in remaining single comes more from fighting the adjustment to flying solo than it does from actually being single & celibate. It's best to allow yourself to adjust to being alone instead of fighting the adjustment. Like any other minor or major life change, it takes time to adjust.

your reflections on change truly resonate with me. It’s incredible how life’s restlessness can lead us to profound revelations when we’re willing to embrace it. I’ve recently started my own journey of change, stepping out of my comfort zone by creating a KZbin channel at 57. It’s been both challenging and rewarding, but finding contentment in the process is what keeps me going. Thank you for sharing your story-it’s inspiring and reminds us that joy is often on the other side of discomfort. Wishing you continued growth and fulfillment on your journey. 😊

I would have loved to have known what a relationship was. I’ve never had one, and lived my entire life alone romantically. Of course I watch these ‘better off alone’ videos, but the curiosity is still there. It’s natural. I am 67 too and being realistic, I’ll die alone and unknown. Have I been happy alone ? Absolutely not ! You just get on with things with no expectations, but it is no life.

I've been single for ten years now...was married to covert narcissist for 20 years, separated for five years. I would have divorced him sooner but religion issues complicated that, plus the situation was where I would have had to pay him in the divorce because i was good with finances and he was a squanderer.
