There are some people you just click with, and can talk to at great length about anything, be it life or shared interests, which, in this case, are many.
I spent the last part of my evening with my friend Brian.
After talking about his
girlfriend (also a friend of mine), my
boyfriend, our past
relationships, and relationships in
general for a good 40 minutes or so, we set off for our
separate dorm rooms to go to
bed. I was too
upset to stay in my
room, so I went back downstairs to find him or another one of my friends. He saw me walking down his hallway toward him, and invited me in to
watch Vanilla Sky.
At the end, we were both confused and amazed, so of course, we stumbled sleepily outside to smoke cigarettes.
Our discussion started off with movies and ended up in religion. We discussed The Matrix, A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, etc., then we discussed books and dystopias, then religious connotations in movies and books, and eventually, our ideas of religion and religion in general.
It was exactly what I needed, and now I can sleep, not fulfilled the way I thought I wanted to be, but fulfilled nonetheless.
Sometimes friends are better than lovers.
