What matters most in life…

The impulse to quote from Conan the Barbarian here is almost irresistible.

I know this title feels like click bait, but I actually have an answer this morning.

What matters most in life is having someone to talk to.

There are times in the early morning when I get up (to write before the world starts making demands) when I want to express frustration or joy or a good joke but no one is awake. This leads to spamming messenger or text or discord when I know there is nothing but sleeping people on the other end of the conversation.

Having someone you trust to talk to when you really need them is important. Right now, I would say that is what matters most in life.
