I talk about the colorful spectrum of the human experience with different people around me. It might be thoughtful, humorous, offensive, adorable. We have unbound conversations driven by simple curiosity. Maybe because we're bored. Maybe because we're pissed. Maybe because we love eating or appreciate a glass of wine. Or maybe it's just because.
