We all need friends not just lovers

First Nina, I don't know if I will be doing Kroe any favours, but since she asked some posts back. Here are my memories of Nina:

• Her trying to catch shadows, or red laser lights when David attacked her with them.
• Playing push over the cat.
• Her curling up to me in the middle of the night when I was cat/flat- sitting.
• Her scaring the bejesus out of Paul by licking his hand in the middle of the night.

Secondly friends,
We all need them. We love to spend time with our significant others, lots of quality time, but we also need to see other people or no people at all. At school, uni its all so easy you are constantly surrounded by other people, peers. Some you like, some you don't, but you have somebody to laugh, cry, argue with outside of the home circle. If your lucky you even find somebody to do other activities with. Now with adulthood slowly creeping up on us, you find that home live take over more and more of your time. The cooking, cleaning, work, thesis writing and you see yourself loosing contact with more and more friends. Maybe you gain a few collegues but it's not the same. On top of that you love your partner but you the miss the alone-time or going out with friends.
This seems to be a typically womanly thing, well de 2 most important women in my life, and myself seem to suffer from it. The thing is that we women need to stand up for what we want, feel. It's not wrong to want to do other things but spend time at home, but we have to fight for it. Ask for alone time or just take it. And make sure you get out in de world, join a club, go to social advents, make new friends, just find people you can relate outside of the home circle. But most importantly have FUN.

P.S. I obviously agree with Kroe that people should feel free to write on this blog in another language.
