@Mr. P
I’m always relieved when someone else admits their home isn’t orderly. My wife is an artist (painter and photographer) so our walls are beautifully decorated, but otherwise we are overflowing with far too much stuff, including Lego sets everywhere, as my wife is an avid collector. We also have way too many books.

never give up hope for love. My first relationship wasn’t until my twenties and I didn’t get married until my late 30s. I’m neither “cool” nor “hot,” I talk way too much for most people, and I tend to be “overly assertive.” Lol. But as my spouse said when I told them I loved their “in-between” gender, (now calling themselves nonbinary), there is someone out there for everyone. It’s hard to find, but it’s worth looking.
For those who don’t want to look, are happy as they are, or simply can’t get over whatever issues are keeping you single, that’s also your prerogative. There shouldn’t be any shame in being single, only in living with too much regret. As long as you are satisfied with your decisions in life, that’s what matters. That’s not to say all choices are open to us, but I recommend not closing yourself off completely to things you want but don’t think you can have. Because you never know where life will take you.
Of course I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with escaping into BLs (or any other dramas or stories/books). I have a wonderful spouse but an otherwise difficult life because of chronic mental and physical health problems. If BLs can help get us through, bring them on!
It’s late where I am and I’m clearly starting to ramble. I will save my thoughts on Sammy’s Children’s Day for tomorrow.
