I’ve been thinking about whether you can make friends with a place.
If I keep going to a place, and I enjoy it, do I become its friend?
I’ve got friend energy and it needs to go somewhere or it’ll fester (she says fester and rot in meg ryan’s French Kiss voice in her head)
a movie I visited so much
it felt like a friend
If I go there with friend intention, to sow my friendship, does it become my friend
Can you be friend, an embodiment of friendness in a space? With just place there to share. Air and paths and buildings…they do echo, don’t they.
It’s for sure community in the way they talk about community in the sense that never made sense to me, not in this way. It’s a kaleidoscopic view, rotated and reflected on color glass, is it pink?
If I keep going to a place, do the echoes echo to me, and my last self that showed the last time, if that’s when it was, the amplification, of time laid over time laid over the time before, transparencies turning opaque
when I made friends with this place.
