I've been more social today than most weeks in the last six months. We hosted brunch with two other couples. Then I went to a meet-up group for writers, where I talked a little about writing and a lot about how difficult marriage and divorce is. I came away feeling more heard and empathised with after talking to a relative stranger about the intimacies of adult relationships and hurdles than I've felt in a long time. Finally, this evening I had dinner with my book club. Since we only get together once a month or so and each have very different lives with different careers and backgrounds, we always have a lively catch up. Unusually, this time we were fairly agreed in our positive response to the book,
Persepolis. Now I'm going to fall into bed satiated on good company, empathetic new friends and delicious food.
