Have you ever been out with people distinctly different from you? Ones with just completely different priorities and foreign senses of self. I tend to think of them as young souls, just kind of caught up in the swirl of everything around them, mostly happily oblivious to the shapes moving outside the bright, flashing lights.
But I'm not much better am I? How often do I forget there are other ways to live? And there's almost always something there, beyond that strange layer of redneck republication with money that so pervasive, regardless of actual social standing. Sudden warmth, modesty, kindness.
Don't get me wrong, tonight was weird in that way that it's always completely bizarre to be out in an overcrowded bar with people you barely know. But I'm not upset I went.
