Next topic… random discussions. Some of my favorite discussions are about random things. I have found some people are a lot like me and find these discussions entertaining. These discussions are better than talking about politics, weather, or work.
Even as a child, I spent hours talking to my cousin during sleepovers. We started just talking about a topic and before you know it, we were on a different topic. From there we would talk about something else. The conversation never ended, it just smoothly transitioned from topic to topic. Hours later we wondered how we ended up talking about something so unrelated to the first topic. We would retrace the conversation and see if we could figure out how we got from the first topic to the last. We both found it interesting why we thought the way we did.
Almost on a daily basis, this still happens with me. I think this is normal and healthy. One topic to another topic to another. It keeps it interesting and you learn things about each other. For example, in one conversation you could learn someone’s middle name, their dog’s birthday, how their 7th grade English teacher smelled, and why their uncle wears two watches. This stuff is more interesting than what someone thinks about the president’s comments or the temperature tomorrow night.
Some people don’t seem to be as open as others when it comes to these discussions. More people should try to be open to talking about nothing. Just like this blog.
