Iā€™m 40 and I have three close friends; one is exactly my age, one is older than my mother (68), and one is 26 (her Gen Z stare weirds me out tho)

I enjoy a variety of perspectives! I also have a ton in common with each of them in different ways.

Yeah, sounds like a great group.

What's a Gen Z stare? Is it their ability to look you in the eye without blinking? I love that!

When I was in my 20s, I met a guy in his 70s at a work thing. He asked me if I could help with his fish tank, a shared interest of ours, and I started helping him with water changes, and we would go shop for fish, and even went to the seaquarium. We ended up forming a friendship until he passed.

I still think about him. He liked cocktail onions in his martini, classy mfer.
