meowse has pointed out, in looking at his own life, that he cannot have any more relationships at the emotional intensity that he wants unless some of his current relationships come to an end. He has reached the capacity of his time and energy for near and dear.
I am ecstatic right now at the energy, intensity, and camaraderie that I am investing in spending time with
arjache. I know that this is made possible because I am careful with my time and energy, and wouldn't be possible if I already had more relationships going than I already do. It probably wouldn't even be possible if I had the same number of current relationships, but already had a very similar camaraderie with one of those.
It is still reminding me how much I miss doing this very thing with
cinnamonteal.
