Company and Companionship
The clock strikes 8 and im at office, most of the people have left for home. Some are staying over grudgingly for work.
I came out from my cabin to see it almost empty, just a support staff to assist if I might need something.
I can leave now, no one will say anything, but I have to wrap up some work I had taken up in the beginning of the week.
Lately I see I’ve been taking up more work, some will serve me well in my career, some is just grinding work bringing little value, I chug along nonetheless.
Probably I’m killing time, probably I don’t want to go back to my place alone, probably I long for companionship
I have frnds, like we catch up on weekends and even on weekdays as time allows but while that brings some joy of company, its companionship that’s missing I feel.
Company is someone you can chill with, meet over for drinks, hang out at your place, have weekend plans. Luckily I have a few of those.
Companionship is someone you come back to after a long day of work. Someone you look forward to meeting at the end of your day. Someone you take a longer route on the way home just to pick some flowers or the snack they love. Someone you can vent out about the day, your boss, your work, your collegies and even your friends Someone you make plans to watch series or movie. One episode everyday with or aftr dinner of a web series like Braking Bad/ GoT or rsomething chill like Friends or Office.
Someone you can share your plans and ambitions, weekend trips and rides
Finally, id also like to add or caution that both compliment and supplement each other, both are important. So don’t confuse one for another.
I hope you find both very soon.
Im holding out for the latter more than the former. But im always open to meet new people with common interests and make friends.
End of my rant, Have a wonderful evening,
