how do y'all not let the things you like consume your entire being

to succeed in adult friendship you must remember the key tenets of child friendship:

Play Toys

Play Pretend

Snack Time

This starts out as a nice gesture, then quickly becomes absolutely ridiculous.

But also small talk doesn’t have to lead to a lifelong relationship to lead to a meaningful moment!

One time when I was working at a craft store I found an older gentleman looking at the glues. I asked if he needed any help and he explained that he and his son had been doing puzzles together and he wanted to preserve and frame them, but he didn’t know what glue would be best. We sat on the floor of the store together while I explained the different glues and what they’re good for. He admitted, in a sort of embarrassed tone, that he didn’t know what matte and luster meant. I explained happily, and he sounded so relieved. With his newfound information, he made an educated decision and thanked me with a big smile before going to checkout.

Another time, I was walking in a public garden and a woman was taking a picture of a particular bush while she expressed her love for it to no one in particular. I thought this was delightful, and upon inspecting the bush, I told her I agreed. She smiled at me and told me how she loves the way it spreads out and the different colors of the leaves. She asked if I had one at home. I thought for a moment and realized there was a great resemblance to the bushes we have in the front yard, so I said yes. She asked what they were called and I said I had no idea. We both laughed.

Another another time, I was buying groceries, like ya do, and I noticed a woman was having trouble locating something. I asked what she was looking for and she said curry paste. It turned out to be right in front of her and she laughed. She proceeded to tell me about how she makes this dish for her book club and they love it. I asked if she was making it for them again and she said no, she’s making it for her this time. She lamented for a moment how her husband doesn’t have an adventurous palette, but she turned to me with a twinkle in her eye and said I seemed like the type to enjoy all kinds of food. She was not wrong. She shared where she got the recipe from and I happily wrote it down. (Link below!)

I have not seen these people since, and I probably will never see them again, but I carry these people with me wherever I go.

"i hate small talk. you are a stranger. why the fuck would i want to talk about the weather with you"

i may be a deeply introverted and asocial individual, but even i recognize how many relationships have started with a single innocuous question, forged in the fire of an ember lit by humoring it with an answer.

humans make small talk, because small talk can grow.
