i was at a party / happy hour last night & the more you go to these the more you realize holy shit that most people are straight up terrible at conversation now.
the art’s gone. a real convo is supposed to feel like a clean volley, back & forth, but it falls apart when the other side doesn’t even know how to swing.
this is why a true connection is rare af still. cuz in the end the only that matters is a good thought partner. this is a giant data point on how fucked we truly are in so many ways.
