It was very synchronistic to see this for me. I've felt naturally attracted that way to
somebody before, and though the relationship went downhill, we just
clicked. It was amazing while it happened. I remember a woman coming up to us in a spiritual store and commenting that we were like blue and orange, we balanced and complemented each other. I wish we could be close friends again, but she's keeping her distance and I'll respect that. For now, at least, our time's over.
Years later, when we met up to go to an event, it was like we'd never been apart. Even now, we're similar in core attributes - she's grown and matured, and I have as well. (I still have a long way to go, though, and I always will.
) At the same time, we're complete opposites in other regards. She has great grades, I abhor school. She has a lot of friends, I don't. She's bubbly, I'm quite shy (except around her).
I hope I manage to experience more things like this. You're right - similarities are boring.
Strangely enough, I have a current online friendship that's similar, but in a different way - if that makes sense. We constantly aggravate each other, but we can't stop talking to each other. I don't feel like I click with him, but I still marvel that we can't seem to leave each other. I don't miss him when he's gone, but we still manage to keep talking.
