We’ve replaced 'hanging out' with 'checking in.' We know what everyone is doing, but we don't know how anyone is feeling. When was the last time you had a 3-hour conversation that felt like 5 minutes?
I finally reached that age where 'going out' sounds like a threat and my favorite hobby is 'having no plans.' If you see me at a social event after 8:00 PM, please know I am there against my will and I am actively calculating how soon I can leave without being rude.🙂
