Charting the growth, of stag-nations (only a slight deviation...)

“Growing up straight and tall” A good way to carry oneself under any circumstances and well endorsed as an aspiration of all…

“Alone but not lonely” A separate category that has to do with those who tend to do things in their own…as in the growth of autonomous vehicles....

“Going Dutch” Or, putting it another way, “share and share alike” if/when we might meet, for lunch or whatever…a place of equality…

“Just the way you are” A strong endorsement from, say, grandparents on behalf of cherubs, or a more general term of endearment said ‘in the moment’. But wait, there's (not) more...

“Say it isn’t so, dear…” Beyond going slow, waiting until things, are just…so…

“Going stag” Or solo, no “plus one”, sans dance partner, going home empty handed - a growing trend throughout many so-called developed nations that could, if unabated, envelop and then outdate us, as in going beyond zero growth, even into the minus column, leaving many under-developed…

“The way we were”🎶 A “bye, gone…peace, out” put US right out of existence if we’re too careful -- when a lack of response to all the "sweet nothings" could strike a sour note. Talking about an existential crisis. 

(Post note: some atrophy with age is inevitable but the onset can be delayed by staying 'active'😉)
