I’m out and about driving from western Kansas to Wichita, listening to music.
Ya know how there are certain songs that will transport you to one moment in time — in your past?
Like when you were undergrad and you and your four buddies every Tuesday would jump in the car and go to the adjacent city and get chalupas at Taco Bell? And talk about the meaning of life, family, classes, girls, what our purpose in life was?
As I get older, both from personal experience and observation, I see so many people lonely. That don’t have friends. A lot of adult men particularly have a really hard time having/keeping/making friends. I don’t know all the reasons, but think I know some. But it doesn’t really matter what I think.
My favorite movie, or one of mine, is about Christopher McCandless. When his body was found in Alaska one of the last things he had wrote in his diary was “happiness [is] not real unless shared.”
