I've noticed that it's becoming increasingly difficult to find a normal person to talk to. It's not about "depth" or brilliant phrases, but a simple exchange of ideas—no torrent of words, no philosophy for philosophy's sake. Conversation increasingly turns into a monologue, therapy, or a demonstration of "one's own uniqueness." Or something simpler: a lack of respect, pressure, a condescending gaze. Meanwhile, normality can be very quiet: mindfulness, simplicity, curiosity about the other person, and the ability to listen. No roles, no posturing, no need to dominate. It's a shame that such obvious things have become so rare these days. Maybe we could grab a coffee together for a getaway. I'm a calm, 50-something guy, an empathetic guy, maybe I'll meet a crazy, normal woman here.
