Keep hearing my friends say some variation of “sorry I’m rambling/sorry we’re talking a lot about [thing they’re interested in]” and just. I am grabbing you all by the shoulders and shaking you and pulling you into a hug at the same time. As someone who is not very talkative at the best of times but who also gets a Lot less talkative when I’m tired I am so so appreciative of people who will just. Let me sit there and listen to them talk At me while spending time together. It’s so nice it’s So nice. Please never apologize! Please keep bickering about something I absolutely did not care about before this conversation but am ready to be extremely invested in because I’m ride or die for you and that means I’m ride or die for this obscure conflict! Please keep telling me about your blorbos of the month even if you would never actually recommend I watch the media they’re in! On purpose on purpose I am listening to you on purpose (On purpose on purpose I’m going to love you. On purpose).

#do you know how nice it is to get to just listen to your friends go off!#do you know how nice it is to be in a conversation but not have to be On but just get to listen!#I am data gathering I am learning cool things I am spending time with you!#anyway I’m sleepy and this is incohrent probably but #walked across campus through the snow after my shift ended at 10pm today and returned to find that my room had turned into the #‘friends having tea and also arguing about classics’ zone and just. delightful. ideal place to just sit and vibe and listen and #shift out of my customer service self back into something resembling a human person who has friends.#idk thinking a lot about how this is the structure of a lot of my best friendships! guy who likes to talk x guy who likes to listen #and i wish a lot of the time that I was less tired or faster or could contribute more but. man I am so grateful for this and for the folks #around me. friendship is great actually #sola said
