Buyers

8 August. Last night I met my high-school friend and we shared some of the developments in our lives. We had some similar experiences in the past years, and found that we have both learned to adopt a positive attitude towards living happily, no matter what happens. We talked over red wine (me) and bitter lemon (friend) about relationships, the never-ending topic. It turned out that we both like to be “buyers” in the relationship with our significant other, and that we have grown to that experience from being “renters” earlier.
