Last night, something extraordinary happened. I renewed a friendship that’s been dormant for nine years, and it happened quite effortlessly, without even the slightest hesitation or awkwardness. It’s as if we were back where we were nine years ago; not to say that either one of us is anything like what we were then, we are both different people and our lives are very different now from what they were then, but the conversation was as relaxed as if we’d never stopped hanging out at all. And I’m not somebody who easily relaxes in company unless I know the company very well.
So that was good; above all, it was fun. I like being around people who laugh at the same weird things I do.
