Mess mates
Mess mates come close to soul mates. Break bread together as often as you can. Bake bread together.

More vocabulary
Plenty are the “mores” in our lives and available to us. What varied phrases do we create combining “mores?” If you start with words like “look,” “eat,” “available,” “sleep,” and “want,” what phrases are possible? So if we have a “vocabulary” of different “mores,” we’d ought to be able to create varied phrases, pointing us to untried “mores,” yes?
A “more” might be found by writing or reading a science fiction novel, something to get you asking what is possible for humanity. You might unearth a “more” by casually asking someone, “Why are we here?” When I ask you “What Went Well this week?”, you might answer truly, primally, and then we both will have touched a “more.”
Then once we have these “mores” on our lips, we might create more places to find still more “mores.”
