“If I let Becca back into my life, I wouldn't be as good a friend to Sathnam. I would have less time for him, yes, but it was more than that. Emotional resources can be finite too. My relationship with him would carry less weight because how can he trust me if, in my desperation to accumulate friends and never let them go, I spread my love so thinly, and allow myself to be treated to badly, with so few boundaries, that the act of my friendship itself carried no meaning.”
