This weekend we got together with some new friends who invited us to their home. We were their guests, along with two others.
We’d met one of the people before, and the other was new. The couple that hosted the get-together is family with friends we know from back home.
The evening started at 6, and the original plan was to have a few drinks and then walk over to a nearby restaurant. At around 10, we realized that the conversation was going too well to interrupt it going to a restaurant, so we ordered in.
The conversation continued past midnight, and everyone agreed it was time well spent. We had great conversations about everything and nothing; ideas and opinions were shared, and questions were asked.
It’s always refreshing to meet people willing to have open and honest conversations that aren’t politically or otherwise agenda driven. For some reason, those moments have been rare, which makes them even more special.
I hope those special moments don’t have to continue to be rare. I would love to meet and spend time with people who are open to simply sharing ideas without needing to convert anyone. Every exchange is a learning experience, and I can’t wait to learn more! ❤️
