A small excerpt from an idea I had… just wanted to share it here…
There is an episode of The Office where some characters, leaded by Pam, form a small gathering to talk about books and sophisticated topics, it is such a nice thing, that only appeared in one episode. I related heavily to it! Specially because Jim reminds me of my brother, that always steals the conversation his way. Not ideal… hence, here we have my own version of it.
It is essentially a “finer things club” to discuss traditional framework pieces of painting and architecture, ballet, classical music, opera… the range, however, is pretty open, so long as everyone sees each other eye to eye. It could have austrian school of economics, some classical liberal, traditional conservative politics. History is always welcome… there can be talks about life and its laments as well, like I said, pretty open if we see eye to eye. It is a place for formal informalities and cultivated friendship. I had three people in mind I’d gladly always keep the doors of the club open towards, those would be my friend Johannes and his girlfriend, also a friend, Mrs. J. My other friend Nicholas Tibor, that carried me through some pretty bad moments in the past few months, also comes to mind as someone I’d gladly invite to take some coffee with us! And… yea, so far, those three people and me. I was never fond of bigger groups anyway. I had terrible experiences in high and fundamental school that make me prefer conversations one to one, or at max a group of 3 or so… just some number that wouldn’t alienate me. I easily fall behind on a conversation and gets put on the corner. Corner in which I won’t leave by my own initiative, reason why the group ought to be very small, and that would allow me to overcome my natural extreme shyness and reserved behavior. What else is there to say? I am not sure… maybe never engage in arguments…? I don’t know, never thought of a group like that. I just wish I had a nice place to see and talk with few friends of trust, that’s all. Etiquette and rules… not even a necessity, if we usually see eye to eye. Meaningful connections and invites to spend the Christmas at some family house would soon follow! Imagine that, last time I was at someone’s house for a gathering? 10 years ago… and before that, another 3 to 5 years. I never really had many friends anyway… reason I value the ones I have so much, and sometimes can be a bit more talkative… I usually don’t talk, anyway. Sad but true. I wish this group could be an actual thing, but those are online friends, distance is a huge factor, and I’m not even sure if they’d desire to be in a nice coffee and cake gathering with me, either way, I appreciate them a lot. Ah… I feel bad for always tending towards melancholic words and such… I ought to be more uplifting if I want to make friends… but I also value sincerity -with kindness and poetry-and transparency… so, yes… that’s the divagation society. I drew a teapot for its “logo” but I don’t have any reason for it being it, so far. Just like porcelain. I prefer coffee to tea, but coffee pots are not as beautiful and proper… this post is very like a divagation society thing, I reckon, thrives on elegant improvisation, for example. I wish it could be a thing. Maybe someday, very improbably though. I don’t even know if I’d like the stress of having my own society, I just want to be around my friends. What else is there to say?
