I think I've become a little obsessed about filling up the bookshelf. I remember a line from Sugar Queen (YES, another obsession) about how even though we might never read all the books we own, it's still nice to have them as companions. Oh how that resonated. Had the best meet-up ever with the JC clique (sans Gurveen Kaur, though we all missed her and tried our best to convince her to join us!). For us girls, the satisfaction of deep, meaningful female companionship is utterly indescribable. Maybe it is a sort of emotional satiation. So much catching up we did. And plus, Row said the most astonishing thing of all; she feels that I become more emotionally stable when I'm in a relationship! At that point I wasn't able to respond to it because I needed to chew on it a little. And after thinking about it, I agree that my moods were (maybe it still is) more mercurial when I wasn't in one, but that was only because I was trying to deal with the separation. And perhaps, she was seeing and comparing that to the times when I was in a relationship and happy about it. I guess that's what makes it fun. Telling each other stuff and everyone's psychoanalysing it to help you out in the situation. The constant affection within the group. How the meet-ups always revolves around food.
Best of all, I like how they make me feel less of a loner.
