Last night, after drinking and partying almost hard with my friends, I had a bit of serious conversation with a friend of mine. Basically, he began saying that he was not happy with how things worked in our group of friends, because we never talk about serious stuff. It's almost like we're just drinking buddies, even though in reality it's not like that at all. He said, quite rightly, that nobody ever expresses their feelings. It made me think my group of friends, at least the core of it, has always been a bit cold in regards to keeping the distance. Seldom, if ever, do we hear about someone's plans for the future, or about his/her fears, or anything at all. We have fun, we make jokes, we are there when the others need us, and that's it.
So it made me question, how is the relationship in other groups of friends? Do you talk about serious stuff that much? This wouldn't include politics, as we talk about it quite often but I think it's a whole different manner, it's more impersonal, so to speak.
I don't know, I'm curious.

"Lo, he, in the time that he is inside, is not touched by the storm of the winter, but that is an eye's winking and the least time, but he straightway comes back from winter into winter, what thereto may precede or what to it may follow, we do not know."
