Define Me
Whenever I meet someone I want to get an idea about who they are.
So I ask them questions. Like: What do you do for a living? Or, if they are a student, where do you go to school? What is your major?
As you further get to know someone you find out about all the little things about them; the different parts of their identity that make up the whole. This, I believe, is the process of friendship.
This process is fueled by conversations, meaningful conversations. Friendship based on a mutual interest will only be as strong as that interest. The interest is what binds those friends. Friendship based on knowing is much stronger because the binding element is not external. It cannot be removed.
So, who do you know? ¶ 11:32 AM
