Anais says, "Five o'clock is the hour of my depression. Because the active day is done, during which I subdue and conquer my disillusions or disappointments. But five o'clock is the fatal hour, end of work, beginning of awareness..... I feel this wave of chocking anguish, of homelessness, rootlessness, loneliness."
She goes on to say, "Every friend I reach out to here seems incapable of a big friendship. They all shred, dissolve into minor friendships. Instead of writing in the diary, I have been trying to talk with someone, to write to someone. They write tight, meager letters, ungenerous, small, parsimonious."
Is it more difficult to develop friendships when you are in your 40's? Is it more difficult to develop friendships with people who have families when you are childless?
