We used to be able to meet up without a reason, but now every gathering feels like an event. Fewer people, more meaning, more silence between words. Is this normal, or are we just getting older?

It's not about aging, it's about filtering. When you have less time, you stop wasting it on superficial things. Meetings become a ritual, not noise. It's not how many of you there are that matters, but how you spend that time. A good drink, the right atmosphere, sincere conversation — and the evening will be remembered for a long time. That is why brands such as lex vodka often become part of intimate moments rather than loud parties, where the quality of communication is valued rather than the number of toasts.
