Been single and celibate for 17 years now and just like you I spent 10 years on the road living off my Harley. Battling cancer now so I'm back to my Jeep. Still free and I'm still happy. Do what makes you happy. Stay safe out there Sarah 🙏

[@wandacraig8286]

Hook ups and one night stands are dangerous on sooo many levels and virtually self-destructive, so good thing you have made the mature and responsible choice you have. I made that choice for 11 years when I was much younger. Then I met my husband. We were married 20 years before cancer took him 16 years ago, and now I have chosen to remain single and celibate. He wanted me to find another love and get married again, but I'm sorry, I just couldn't do that again. When you live that deeply for that long and then they are gone, you just don't want to invest yourself that deeply again. Good for you to say for people to cool their jets with you. You deserve to take life in the way you want to. You are wise.

[@NinjaBooKitty]

I would be wary of speaking in absolutes. Everyone is different, every interaction is different, and things don't meant the same to one person as another. If it's dangerous and self destructive for you, then say that. But you can't speak for everyone.

[@wandacraig8286]

@@NinjaBooKitty I don't believe I said I was speaking for everyone. But when someone puts themselves out there for multiple one night stands, it can expose one to several STDs, and even worse it can put you in contact with dangerous people. Sex trafficking is a big thing these days and hook ups with people you don't really know can put you at terrible risk.

[@HamiltonRowan-r6z]

@@wandacraig8286 I absolutely agree. The dangers of indiscriminate one night stands are very real as well as the emotional damage. And yes there are absolutes out in the world. One is free to live as they choose but to their own peril!

[@y.m.505]

@@NinjaBooKitty No matter who you are, where you are from or what your experiences have been, one-night-stand is dangerous. Philosophize it or rationalize however you want, that doesn't minimize the danger. If you have had multiple and gone unscathed, just count yourself very lucky...

I have been single and celibate for many many years. I don't understand people that get so lonely. Best thing is first befriend yourself. I used to have depression and PTSD etc. but I did the spiritual journey and now it's all good. I enjoy the time as it is. Moment by moment life is an adventure.

[@joesommer6401]

Hi Sara I've been watching your videos for a long time now,but very seldom leave comments but this one was touching too me in away. I'm 54 male! And have been single and Celibate for 7 years myself it's kind of funny the way it fades away! One day I believe I'll meet that one who becomes my best friend and companion. I'm not a KZbin r but have been getting set up for traveling if all as planned I'm up the Oregon coast starting here in Norcal next month. Safe travels Sara!! Mabe see you out there one day.

[@stillkicking8693]

I’m a little older than you but you are completely right on how you feel and I respect your decision because of this I’ll share a little for you . I married at almost 20 and she was just 18 but the day I meet her I feel in love instantly and we was together for over 46 years and truly did everything together. We had two sons and I have grandchildren and one great granddaughter which turns one next month. I was blessed meeting her because she was truly my only soul mate because since her passing four and one half years ago, I have zero interest in ever being married again and and as far as I’m concerned it was a once in a lifetime relationship. Yes I went through some very bad days and even now I come to tears just thinking of her. I haven’t been with anyone else and have no plans to be together with anyone. I took up traveling and doing Jeep things because I have two Jeeps , roof top tent and all the bells on one but I travel mostly with my rubicon 392 2021 which is loaded out some for trails. It keeps my mind busy and I feel it does also with you . Continue your journey and maybe someday in our travels I’ll say hello and property introduce myself, but you be safe and continue on. Semper fi

[@judizzstuff]

The hard part for me has been a little bit of loneliness. I was married to a nice man for over twenty years unfortunately I didn't really feel as if I truly loved . I had great parents who were truly soul mates so I always felt something was missing. I'm glad that even though the marriage fell apart I still ended up getting a fantastic counselor. You're right about the loving yourself first as I was always struggling with self image issues. Also after being burned by selfish people who you have given your heart to but had it thrown away in return there comes a point when you just try to focus on building your inner strengths. I have been single 20 years now . Inner peace is far more important than being co dependent. Love the outdoors myself and i do find it helpful hearing your thoughts. 👍

Girl I understand so completely. I was in a relationship for 12 years, he completely obliterated our relationship, me, and my self esteem. Convinced me I was worthless and unlovable, and ever since I have been alone and guarded.

[@mikewingate284]

I agree with your thoughts on intimacy. I would need the mental connection to make the physical act fulfilling. That is of course, a personal choice. I know that for me, the physical connection would be enjoyable in the moment, but would leave me yearning for more, and eventually lead to depression, but I tend to overthink. Some people are perfectly fine with just a physical interaction. I have my suspicions that they are never truly fulfilled though. Where we differ is that I wouldn't be too hard on random guys just asking you to go on a date. They know more about you than they do some random woman they meet at a grocery store, club, or any public place. Granted, they only know what you are presenting on social media, and we all know that is just a tiny fraction. The marriage proposals are just weird. Stay away from those dudes for sure! I respect your decision to avoid building relationships with men because you are 100% correct. They will eventually become closer to you, and will expect the usual progression to intimacy. Best of luck on your continuing journey of self-discovery.

[@PhyllisGarcia-cf7fz]

I agree with your sentiments on being single and celibate. There's no shame or being weird that you prefer your life to being exactly what it is.

To be intimate with someone doesn't mean sexual it is emotional bond or mental bonding with someone, and until you want that you aren't ready for that kind of relationship.

I think there is someone for everyone. However, what is the likely hood that they are in the same country, state or workplace where you spend all of your time? Many relationships are unhealthy and unhappy. It is MUCH better to live as a single person than to be in a bad relationship. It WILL ruin your life. Everyone is not meant to be married for one reason or another. Happy marriages are pretty rare. 50% divorce rate. Of those who remain, many live in unhappy marriages. I think the idea is great but it can save people a lot of pain by just acknowledging reality. Thank you for your honesty. Most people are afraid to expose themselves this way.

Yeah nah, same here, me too, ive been on the same journey myself, for many years. And its far from easy, either. For all the same reasons as you describe. Ive been determined to stick to my decision/plan for the same reason as you've discussed. I suspect that learning to love oneself, very likely also relates to "the choices" we'll may end up to make, as well too. Like even in relation to choices of potential partners. Unless we know how to truly love ourselves, properly, as we should do, then perhaps we can potentially tend to sell ourselves short. And end up to settle for less than what we'd deserve. And in many more ways than one as well. Loneliness that hasn't been fully addressed, can perhaps be at the roots of the reason for that. But in my own experience, ive found out that there's also some surprising bonuses to the solitary way of being as well. For one thing, it allows us to have access to an ideal "type space" to allow ourselves to enter into a process of deep contemplation, to ponder over all type of matters, in full depth, in an unfettered manner, without us needing to go find a secluded cave somewhere, to hide ourselves away in, like how some guru's will choose to do. Introspection and everything else. Funny thing is, that in my life, in times past, there was once a time in my life when i'd felt that id never EVER see a way to be able to feel completely thankful & grateful "for everything" id experienced throughout my life. Mainly because of how there was many things what had caused me to feel hurt bad. However, these days now, looking back on everything, i can now see how even the very worst experiences that i have been through, along my way in life, had in fact been helpful to teach me about the sorts of things that can really only ever be learned about "properly" (thoroughly), through personal experience. In the school of hard knocks there's valuable lessons that can be learned, by people, of the kind what no amount of money can ever serve to source from within the top university. This was something that i had failed to consider at the time when i was just too busy feeling "overcome" by pain including psychological pain Life can be a bit like a mystery . Sometimes even be like an entirely unpredictable roller coaster too, at times :) Merry Christmas & love to everyone 💞💯🤟 🎄

I love your channel! You are on the road on a soul search like me… Im from another country, living in the US since 2007; love it here! California is awesome! You’re right, nature is therapeutic and it heals! I also don’t believe in conventional therapy… You are strong and wise, you inspire me! ☮️ 💗

18:57 “I hear people coming down & I don’t want people hearing my single & celibate story”….proceeds to post the story on KZbin for thousands of people to see 😂🤣😆 no but I understand what you mean!! I’ve been single & celibate for 10 years since my husband passed away. I totally get it! I’m a new subscriber btw, loving your videos!

I have a dog. And in Nevada, if the need arises... npi, I can rent. Nature is the best counselor. Marriage is the number one cause of divorce... Think about that.

You know, after Iraq my heart wouldn’t open up for many years even if I had great women in my life. I tried to open up and my heart wouldn’t. Back then in my 20’s and 30’s I used to just sleep with women to just feel loved somehow knowing that. Finally my heart opened up in my early 40’s to a woman I grew up with. We fell for each other, but her side was lets say very toxic. It was hard to get over on my end knowing my heart finally opened up and I was so good at it. But lessons lead to wisdom and I wasnt using my mind, just my heart. I have been offgrid/rving/jeep overlanding now 6 years. Im retired better than most at an early age back in 2017. Im 53 now and love my off-grid life traveling. My heart is finally at peace and it DOES bring us to a better calm to find ourselves. I started this year a new youtube with some older added in. A good friendship is a must to start anything that can be great now. We have all had a past, so starting fresh after all the lessons that lead too our wisdom after changing and healing is being very mindful of your life. Your adventure and happiness will start when that right companion and you cant look away from the great feelings you both give each other. I will see her when she sees me on this amazing life changing journey. You have a great attitude and acknowledge the things your working on which is why happiness will find you and you will find happiness. Marriage isnt everything, the one you cant live without is..😊✌🏼

[@reb58ma]

I feel the exact same way. Exact. Intimacy for me isn't just the S word, it involves my heart. I agree with everything you said. Huge props to you for putting it out there. Hope to meet you one day so we can share our life journey.

I kind of like Seinfeld’s conclusions regarding dating and waiting for someone to come along when he meets his female doppelgänger…, “now I finally know what I’ve been waiting for all these years. I’ve been waiting for me to come along, and I finally I have and I swept myself off my feet!”. Here’s to sweeping ourselves off our own feet 😂

[@cornbred0327]

I think you are doing the right thing. You have to love yourself before anyone else. Enjoy yourself and b safe. Signing off

[@MrBreeze2024]

Wow, what a beautiful place I wish I was there. I’ve been watching you for a while and I’ve suffered from depression most of my life. I believe you’re on the right path. I think you are becoming a very wise woman I’m a Georgia boy myself maybe that’s why I enjoy watching you and listening to you. You sound like Home lol

[@artistmimic]

You value your alone time. I admire that in a person.

[@HamiltonRowan-r6z]

I am healing from addiction and growing in my faith. I need to focus all my energy on this. Obviously, that means I am celibate now going on two years. If I date, I am miserable. Maybe someday I'll be able to negotiate a relationship with another woman,but for now, I need to be by myself. I truly understand where you are coming from. I was sitting in church last night Christmas Eve looking at all the young couples with their children. That's our culture, and I am happy for them. But I am simply not at that place.

[@rael6_4wd]

You’ve gotta take care of YOU. But know when to open yourself back up again. At some point, instead of gaining, you’ll start to lose out. I thought that was Lexington. I used to live below it, in Los Gatos. And the intro to the video looked like the climb up Mt. Hamilton? Very pretty!

I'm fulltime, in a totaly codependent relationship with my funky van. One of us can't survive without the other. But, it's fine with me. Just love my funky van. It's all I need. 👍 Rock on 🙂.
