It's amazing how the presence of another person can do such wonders. Just being physically present. Doesn't matter what she's doing.
As you can probably see in my previous post, I wasn't in a good mood. That's what it says literally in that post. I was being plagued by minor problems or anticipation of future problems. All of which I have blown out of proportion.
Then I went out to lunch with her. And some of her old friends. It was nice. Just a normal lunch. Nothing extraordinary.
In fact, we didn't get to talk as much as we usually do during lunch because conversation time was shared between four of us now. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the gathering. Her friends were nice people. I'm just speaking matter-of-fact-ly.
But somehow I just feel relieved of my burdens. Simply being around her makes me feel better. Strange isn't it? Even without doing anything much. Without any form of verbal consolation.
I was able to calm down and look at things differently. Put things into perspective.
She's really a gift to me.
Thanks Joanne...

i guess it's not just love - her presence but also importantly, the fact that you were surrouded by people. you feel the company and that you are not alone in this world filled with anxieties and stress.
certainly, a bunch of friends can impact you the same way.
Well, the thing is, I've never met her friends before. Hence I concluded that they could hardly have that kind of effect on me given that it's the first time we met.
But you could be right in the sense that the numbers do make you feel less lonely. And also, yes, a bunch of close friends do provide a great deal of support.
But in this case, things are slightly different.
