Boys

It never occurred to me that I have never, in my entire life, hung out with a group of boys.

Well, not until last night.

And it was different. Boys are so easy going. So casual. They rock up wearing whatever, buy a drink and just stand around chatting. And when they are done with their drinks, they continue to engage in their conversations, holding onto their empty glass.

No flicking of the hair. No pulling of the skirts or shifting of the body weight to alleviate the pressure of the heels. No checking of phones. Or the need to keep topping up the drinks. Just pure enjoyment of the moment and the company.

What I especially enjoyed was the ease of silence. That it does not have to be filled with blabbering clutter.

And they were so comfortable with whatever.

Or maybe it was just the boys that I was out with.

It was nice.

Here's to staying on.
