Late night talks end up being the best conversations, especially with people who get you and understand you. Communication happens in so many ways, but the best communication is in person, face to face. Whether it be on in the car, on the beach, or on a bench out on your front porch, those are honestly the best moments. Why? Because as you are sitting there, you realize that that little moment will probably be one of your most profound moments as you grow up and who wouldn't want to have that as part of their memories? Think about it; your most memorable talks were probably a heart to heart that you weren't expecting to happen. Life and connections with people are all about spontaneity and being vulnerable and open.
I'm not sure what it is about being alone in the dark and talking about life, but there is something so genuinely beautiful about it. I have many conversations with people throughout my week at work, and while, yes they are great conversations, it doesn't compare to unplanned, deep talks. The conversations that are unexpected, long and the time is passing without you realizing, those just seem to be different and organic. They make you feel good; as if a weight was lifted off your shoulders. It's like a free therapy session. I always seem to come out of them feeling so happy and more relaxed and a little bit more connected.
Late night conversations should definitely be more than just a once in a while occurrence. I think it is very therapeutic and not only is it good to get thoughts and such off your chest, but you are also learning about the other person and teaching them about who you are and letting them see a little bit of your soul. It's definitely an intimate thing because it's allowing you to reveal another layer of yourself that you might not normally show. So the next time you're with someone and you start having a conversation like this, cherish that moment.
