Deep Conversation

Last night I had the opportunity to talk honestly with someone about life. Both of us are in the inbetween stage of life, looking forward to the future and wondering what life has in store.

It was a really good, if somewhat scary conversation about everything. We talked about struggles and how we felt or thought about issues and I felt, for the first time in a long time, like I was connecting with someone on a deeper level than we usually have time for.

I treasure all my friends, and I can't help but wish we could all do this on a regular basis. However, I know that we can't jump to a deep relationship and that it must take years of trust-building and experiencing life together. And, I know that we can't just have serious conversations. There is a time and place for light-hearted conversation.

I just really appreciate when we can delve deeper into the mysteries of what it means to be human.

That being said...today was nice. I was in my pajamas until 7 and I did light housework (dishes and laundry), practiced harp, watched some TV and read some good books. Stu was asleep half the day so I had the living room to myself until after lunch. Now I'm going to work on my Bamboo tablet and see if I can figure out what to do about further schooling, a career, my passion(s?) and what that even looks like for a twenty-four year old Anglican in Columbia, SC.
