Conversation should touch everything, but should concentrate itself on nothing.” ~Oscar Wilde
Nothing goes farther with me than a good conversation. It tells me that you're not afraid to reveal yourself to me. That's what relationships are all about, isn't it? Letting others into your life and allowing them to see you for who you really are. It is not always easy, and not every person we come in contact with on a daily basis is worthy of such an honor. I guess that is why it means a lot to me. I can tell when someone is having a genuine discussion with me or when they're not telling me everything. Call it creepy; call it a gift; call it what you will. I'm pretty good at reading people. Their eyes, face, body language, and what they say are all revealing factors. It is interesting how some people hold back in words, but reveal themselves entirely through subtle actions. I tend to be the former, and I enjoy and respect people who are honest and straight forward. I consider them a breath of fresh air.
Tonight, my friend Annmarie and I went to Wendy's and bought some snacks. The traditional frosty and fries was a perfect conversation snack for me. Simple and kinda quirky. We talked for a long time about nothing in particular, but she's never been afraid to reveal herself to me. Likewise, I've never been afraid to tell her my thoughts either.
A penny for your thoughts?
