But we are not the things we like. We are not a list of favourite records, films, books or sports teams. Nor are we our hobbies. We can express ourselves through these things and have fun doing so. Yet ultimately, it’s “what we are like” that brings something to the table, be it passion, thoughtfulness, creativity or whatever else. It’s those things that make conversations worth having, no matter the subject and, certainly, no matter who your favourite band or artist is.
