Do you ever think about…

This is how I start most of the conversations I have with friends.

I have few friends and I talk to only two of them. So maybe “friends” is already a stretch.

Only one of those two is the recipient of conversations that start with this. I think Gen Zs call it “info dumping” when you dominate the conversation with musings and useless trivia you gathered to support those musings. I do that with this friend.

But oftentimes, I get ideas in my head that turn into stories. I can’t tell it all to my friend because they become too complex, crowded and perhaps, even, a bit unconventional.

Sometimes, the reason is just I am lazy and talking just takes a toll on me.

These stories, however, deserve to be told. I am confident that there may be an audience for them. I feel guilty that they have been sitting at the back of my mind just waiting to be forgotten like their predecessors.

So I am saving them from being erased by time.
