What does it sound like to catch up about 12 years worth of "brave" decisions and memories in 1 hour, with a friend you share the most similar upbringing with, yet feel the most different from based on what they've shared on social media? Sophia and Michelle last went to middle school together 12 years ago, and have since attended different high schools and colleges, formed different emotional ties to the Bay Area, and started post-grad lives in different cities.

We chat about:

• assumptions we made of each other based on what we shared on social media,
• decisions we feel proud of making,
• decisions that would feel easier for one of us to make but more difficult for the other to make, 
• conventional definitions of success that we are fulfilling and defying, 
• what our 13-year-old selves would be proudest of, 

and more.
