And I was like, yeah.

Well, it's just intense familiarity, isn't it?

I just think that

As you get older, you just... Childhood, if you had a happy childhood, which I know is a very privileged position to be in.

Childhood and those memories of childhood, it gets further and further away, obviously, but it just starts to feel like the land before time.

Like, I can't believe how far away sometimes it feels when I think about my house in Stanmore that we grew up in and my brother and I hanging out in the garden or, you know, it's just... And I think having someone...

who was a witness and who is just your passport back to this land that becomes this place you can barely you're so right it's almost like remembering a country before a war you're like do we have vending machines that only had milk in them yes it was the custom yeah and it becomes like it becomes so precious do you don't watch um of course you don't watch white lotus do you

No, I watched the first two seasons.

I didn't watch the most recent season.

Okay, well, basically the opposite.

I didn't watch one or two.

Oh, right, okay.

And I watched all three.

And there's this bit at the end where there are these three girlfriends and the kind of drama of their story over the episode.

Yes.

It was so well written.

It's like they seem like best friends, but as they've moved into their 40s,

actually all they do is hang out and take turns to bitch about each other like why are they friends and then one of them at the end gives this speech that's so profound where she was like what gives meaning to these friendships and what gives meaning to this time have you seen the clip yeah I have yeah it's beautiful and it's like so indescribable about certain relationships that you have about why they're so sacred

is that there's just this quality that's assigned to them through history that cannot be assigned to any other relationship way that begins in the recent past.

And that's what I think that simple reading is.
