The heart to heart conversation has become a weekend staple since the start of the year. I've had my fair share of them but never at the frequency I've been experiencing lately. I think it's a mark of a new group of friends coming together and figuring each other out. While drunk heart to hearts are the most typical, sober ones have been on the rise.
I play the "I'm way older than you guys" card all the time with my friends because while it is true, it's also an invitation of sorts. I look back on where I was at that age and remember all the different ways I messed up. So when I see them facing the same challenges and struggles, I find old versions of myself in them and am amazed to be able to watch their change in motion. It's one of the reasons I hold on to people I should be letting go of.
Life is about the connections you make and the people you carry with you. A year ago I never would have imagined my life would look like this today but I honestly don't know where I'd be without these amazing people around me. From random coffees on rainy days, to day-after debriefs over mimosas, to teary hotel confessions, these "kids" are hopefully getting as much in return as they're giving me because you can't put a price on second chances to make things right.
