I sometimes feel a sense of loneliness too, especially since I moved so far away from my parents and friends from childhood and college. But, I would still applaud your situation over your friend's because it seems like her meaning in life itself depends on someone else. Having someone to love and being loved is vital, but I think, so is having a personal sense of meaning and purpose. I recently read a book "Man's search for meaning" by Viktor Frankl which helped put a lot of such disparate thoughts in a logical whole in my mind.
I think you will be fine Richa, especially at night, since there are blogger friends on the other side of the planet who are awake then [:)]
