It is impossible to watch these movies of love gained and lost without thinking of my own life-long relationship, and wondering about the drama or lack there of in our morning discussions about what to do and where to go. Real life is so boring.

    I used to happen to be all the time too (when I actually interacted with strangers before the pandemic). What I really like about this interaction is that it is mutual. It isn’t just one person putting their sorrows onto someone who they just met. It feels like two people met and clicked.

        I can top all of this! Years ago a friend brought a friend of hers to my movie night. The friend I actually knew had to leave early, and her friend ended up just staying and staying and staying UNTIL 5AM!!!! she was going through a messy breakup and stuff, so I guess she just needed to talk. But 5AM!!!! Talking to a stranger! In their apartment! So they can’t go to sleep!!!
