Why I have conversations?

The very first word which came to mind was storytelling. Remember how you and your best friend got to know each other? Let me share my tale...

The year was 2004 at the high school tennis courts during first break. My friend and I ate our homemade sandwiches (very nerdy). A group of girls, opposite us, were also enjoying their break gossiping and giggling; everyone except one. This young lady was running around, picking yellow flowers and naming them ‘Dandelion’. This reference is from Ice Age 1.

Second break, Miss Dandelion took out her lunchbox on the same spot. The other girls ran away from her and left her by herself. Miss Dandelion was very upset and heartbroken; although I invited her to come and sit with us. Her face lightened up and from that day on, we named yellow flowers ‘Dandelion’ till this very day.

We both identified with a story, Ice Age which shaped the foundation of our friendship. This story was the very being of a lifetime of stories written and still to come. Storytelling is an art which have been with us since the beginning of time. What is your story? Post a comment and we can find out!
