this was such an interesting read! i find myself craving intimacy in my friendships, yet it's somehow hard to achieve when you're an adult and no longer available to hang out with people all the time, meaning it takes soo much longer to form a connection. i also love the idea of asking strangers a deep question - it's comforting to realise we're all human beings with fears and passions at the end of the day. it makes intimacy not that hard to reach after all!
yesyes adulthood friendship are so interesting !! everyone has their own schedule and own priorities so it's more difficult to crack the same lucidity & honesty we had w each other back in our pre 20s years. at the same time since we move with such intention, i find that i feel like i can sustain these friendships im making rn as an adult, since they're no longer born out of pure proximity
Felt this - I mentally cringe at myself every time I ask someone I've just met how they're liking the city so far or what they do for work. We can't completely fast-track intimacy, but you've shown how we can capture bits of it.
Banger - it’s so hard to stay close to everyone and even harder to predict how it’ll unfold
