“stop normalizing the grind and normalize whatever this is”

    It’s hard to find friends who are interested in sitting with you in a cave in a world full of material desires. Also, it’s not a cave, it’s a hollow tree. Have you never read Whinnie The Poo?

      I’ve watched the cartoon, but that was a million years ago.

      I take your point. I guess I didn’t even realise I am lucky in that sense as well.

        It is indeed a blessing. I had 4 very close friends who shared my enjoyment of simple things. One died, 2 went to prison, and the other lost his personality to politics. I haven’t really met any other people who I identify with in my adult life. I’m sure there are others out there, but it’s definitely harder to form bonds in middle age.
