Reverb 10: Core Story

December 31 – Core Story What central story is at the core of you, and how do you share it with the world?

There’s this story.

People are always surprised to find that I had nearly no friends growing up—I express my extroversion easily…the need to socialize…although underneath it all, I am always seeking to be accepted. And that’s the greatest weakness of mine.

Friend is a strange word to me. Nowadays, it has morphed. A Facebook friend. A friend on Foursquare, Yelp. Sure there are the followers on Quora and Twitter, but the word has been so diluted.

Who do I trust? Who do I trust to understand me? And what’s more, who is the person that I will always so willingly go as far as I will go for that person? And who will tell me…in the right way…that I am wrong? And when I am battling my own mental enemies, they are not there to shoot them down, but to conquer them with me? Here lies the meaning of a friend.
