Over the last few days I’ve made an effort to call/see people I haven’t talked with for ages.
- my bestie from school is in Syd-a-ney who had to make the decision to put her cat, Mrs Dribbles, down (gutted).
- another girlfriend is going through the most protracted break up known to (wo)man and so tends to hideout rather than ‘come out’
- another is a very busy lady who spends a lot of her working time, again, in Sydney
There’s a lot to be said for talking with ACTUAL, REAL people and finding out what is really going on in their lives.
We covered the full gamut: pet euthanasia (see above), female ejaculation, the state of arts vs sports sponsorship in Australia/Canada, should you date a guy who is ‘divorced but a long term player’ vs ‘recently heart broken but good in the sack’, and whether you should have a baby and buy a house with an alcoholic because you are ‘reproductively compromised’.
Yep - fully frank discussions. I’m not sure I have too many of those these days. They are truly refreshing. And sometimes slightly frightening.
But I love my ladies.
