Your Friendship Profile

You are The Spark

Here's what that means — and the one friendship role your circle is probably missing.

You Are
The Spark
You bring energy, levity, and a sense of adventure to your friendships. People turn to you when they need a reason to get out of their head. You make the ordinary feel like an event.
You're Missing
The Confidant
Someone who creates a safe space for depth — who asks the hard questions and sits with you in the heavy moments without trying to fix them or lighten the mood.

"The goal isn't to be liked by everyone — it's to be truly known by a few. That only happens when someone is willing to go first."
