Comment on How deep is your greatest friendship? in ~talk

The first is a guy I met when I was 15 (I'm now 19) in a Further Maths class (AP Math? AP Calculus? I'm not sure of the American equivalent). We will call him 'R'. We got on pretty well, and we became friends pretty quickly. He's been there a lot for me, and I don't think he really knows how much I appreciate him. 'R' made Further Maths (at GCSE) and Maths (at A-Level) bearable. I went to my first party with him, stuck with him during my first time at a club (after-formal/after-prom).
We had some pretty good times. For his 18th, I got us VIP tickets for Infinity War which coincided with a "pyjama day" (as part of our last couple weeks of school), so we walked through town to the cinema, stopping in shops along the way, in our pyjamas and dressing gowns. It was like 3 miles, all in all. We bonded over the same shows and ended up quoting them at each other constantly. 'R' helped me through some pretty tough times too. Pretty rough break up toward the start of this year, which also resulted in the loss of a couple friendships, but he stuck by me and said "If they just stopped talking to you like that, they aren't worth it." I actually ended up breaking down at his 18th party (while very drunk, mind you) from the bottled up shit I'd been dealing with (break up, and all that) and he had a laugh while he comforted me.
Which leads me onto the 2nd (but no lesser) friendship. My current girlfriend, who we will call 'Y'. I met 'Y' at 'R's party, just after I had calmed down and got my spirits up a bit (both my happiness and my vodka levels), and decided to chat to new people. We talked for a bit before she had to go. She seemed to like talking to me, so she got my Snapchat off mutual friends, and we started talking there. A lot. 'Y' and I very very quickly became quite close friends. I started to like her (but she couldn't tell, despite it being blindingly obvious) and soon after becoming close friends, we started dating. It's about 6 months in and we are going strong.
Before I met 'Y', I wasn't really that happy between the torturous break-up and the stress of A-levels. She managed to totally transform my mood about myself, and since being with her I've found myself much, much happier than 6 months prior. Sometimes we can talk for hours on end. Other times we don't say much and just enjoy the presence of the other.
I wouldn't say I've got that many close friends, but I don't think you need loads of them. These two are enough for me. They've made me much happier.
Thanks, 'R' and 'Y'.
How do you feel about the new, lighter tone that Muse have been taking with the songs on Simulation Theory? Does it work for you? How do you think it compares in terms of quality compared to Drones, or older albums like Origins of Symmetry or Black Holes and Revelations?
At first I didn't love it as much as some of the older albums. It's not that I didn't like it, just not as much as other albums. However, the more I've listened to songs like Thought Contagion and Dig Down. Pressure, on the other hand, clicked with me almost immediately. I can't get enough of it.
