What does a good conversation mean to you? Would it be a planned out thing or is it better to happen spontaneously? Which conversations do you believe are the most important? Which conversations do you like to have?
Conversations are not just the foundation of any relationship, they’re also the most amazing part of one. It’s through conversations that we learn more about one another, grow as people, and reflect on how far we’ve come. They are the best ways to pass time without scrolling on TikTok or watching a movie because the whole point of actually being with that person is fulfilled - you’re actually with them.
I find conversations to be the basis for a strong bond. Whether the stuff talked about is just random and causes pure laughter or if it’s deeper, more philosophical, and causes reflection, all forms of talking to the other person are what really creates that connection on a far deeper level.
As I write this, I’m having the funniest yet most wholesome conversation with two of my favorite people. We’re making the dumbest jokes about whether it’s “hypocrisy” or “hypocriticism” (obviously the prior) while also talking about school and life in general and just ranting to each other. I hadn’t laughed that much in so long.
So after having that conversation with them, I decided that writing this article is a must. I found that conversation really is the best part of any relationship and that when you have it with the right people, it can go all night.
One of my best friends is someone I met only three years ago. She lives in a different state, so I barely get to see her, but when we met in Summer 2018 for just a week, we got so close so quickly. How? Well, all we did was talk. Every night, we stayed up until 3 am just talking about the most random things, getting to know each other even more, and fostering a new connection.
I loved it all. Every. Moment.
Sometimes all we need is the right person and the best conversation is bound to happen. And sometimes the nighttime is the best time.
Now, the next time you have some time on your hands, have a conversation with someone in your life that matters to you or who you want to get to know more. I promise it will be life-changing. And hey - you may even stay up all night, not watching tv or being on your phone, just talking.
Having a pure, genuine, and lovely conversation.
