After a comfortable amount of lead in, her prompt was unusual coming from someone unknown. Who are you and what is your story?

The question, though blunt, bypasses unnecessary small talk.

Small talk makes me anxious.

Our stories were in the context of how we knew each other; how we grew as people, and summarized our friendship. Some spoke more, interjecting themselves into the timeline of others; adding perspective, insight, and love.

Each expressed their own role, their own personality.

The leader.
The rebel.
The instigator.
The lover.
The listener.
The thinker.

A cast of friends, grown and growing together.
