a feeling of fellowship or friendship

People who think they don't need a companion, don't understand companionship. After all we are called social beings for a reason. I always find companionship very liberating specially because I am an extrovert, over-friendly and absolutely can't keep things to myself. What I find beautiful about companionship is you always look for it, rain or shine. Partners do fight with one another but they always seek for the other person. Look at my parents going strong even after 26 years.

I consider myself lucky to have met people whom I can lean onto in every sphere of my life. I still feel I can pour my heart to my school gang even though we don't talk daily and meet once in years but that is what companionship is all about. To be honest, these people put my expectations too high and I didn't thing I could make such connections ever again. But I did meet some amazing bunch of people during my engineering as well. I hate to say but I am nearing my graduation that means seeking another group of companions in my journey ahead. I really don't like this part to be honest but let's keep this cribbing for sometime later.

I was scared and excited when I landed in Bangalore (second time, without parents) and headed towards the hostel. It was something very new, strange faces, different place, and an unknown vibe. I was hungry, headed towards the mess, found plates but no spoon. "Excuse me", I say and there turns one fair girl with smile as wide as I never seen before. SUJANA. She is not a person, she is my vibe, the best roommate I ever got(for the record, I just had two, including her). The story with her is we just vibed, don't know how and when. Then, I had to go for the hardest part, sit in a class of strangers, studying ENGINEERING. There I saw a girl who seemed my type🤣, don't ask me how, ATISHYA. She seemed filled with attitude but the moment she started speaking about her boyfriend and life in general, my mind said, "HAAN YE SAHI HAII, KOI TO MILA". She somehow helped me survive EIE branch, thank god!

It's weird I don't remember meeting UZMA and NEHA the first time. I saw Uzma from a distance in the mess, and I told myself, "I wish I was this tall and beautiful" and eventually we bonded over lame jokes. I would prefer her company for the world's best standup show anytime, any day. Also, have you ever have had a friend who let you troll out of love? That is Neha. The one who always does the opposite of what is suggested and the bearer of all the problems in the world.

I smiled while typing this out and to be honest this is COMPANIONSHIP.
