It's been awhile since I had someone come over for lunch. Although they're doable, they amass a great deal of effort in the process, and most especially after (cleaning up after having guests at your place is a pain). Maybe that's why I'm discouraged.
Back when I had a constant, coming over at each other's place wasn't that big of a hassle. We kind of just got each other... I guess that's why I'm writing right now... It's not been awhile since I had someone drop by for lunch, but it's been awhile that it felt like a natural part of life. It had not even felt like it was planned, and the blissful simplicity and spontaneity of everything are what I long for the brunches and lunch dates I have offered in most recent months.
As I said, this constant was back when she existed in my life. Now, she is a faraway memory, despite it not even hitting a year since we parted ways. It's an odd feeling to have someone so close to you just fade out of your life, but I guess life really is just odd.
I have to admit, the feeling still lingers-- the feeling of having someone to call up, and ask to share a meal with is, is undoubtedly a privilege that I miss dearly. Perhaps it was not her (figuring now that she's as strange to me as the next stranger is), but how we gelled so well and so quickly. Again, that's all the reason I'm letting these thoughts spill out.
I am motivated to write (and not stop) because of the film I'm watching now, entitled "Julie & Julia", which is effortless and delightful. It captures the same feel and taste of movies made in the early 2000's. I'm not sure if they were particularly good, but something about them existing and being made during my childhood years, makes them so sweet.
Anyway, I had just switched tabs to view one of my group projects due in two days. I feel the need to hasten things up...
This has been fun... but not when I reread it later on.
Whatever.
Publish.
