They say ‘opposites attract’ but i think people like us fall in love with people like us.

We fall in love with ourselves. I think it takes more than just anyone to be with one of us. We see the deeper parts of people. We long for their souls, for their gardens of thought, for feeling their backbone, their spine, inhaling the words they breathe. We see more in people because of what we know ourselves. I think we fall in love with people like us, people with beautiful words, and thoughts, and glances at strangers and artistry. We can’t just wake up in the morning. And go to work. We want to lie in bed, count the freckles on our shoulders, how many times a rain drop hits the window. We breathe differently. We strive off beauty. That’s why we can’t settle, for just anyone, who’s different. There’s got to be a person we find beauty in. Who thinks, and feels and wonders. As remarkably as we sometimes do. I think we fall into people who are a lot like us. Because they understand, appreciate, relate, and know the way we experience and feel. And i think that’s important. They say opposites attract, like magnets, they’re pulled, from different places, ending up together. But we don’t need opposites, or magnietic force. We’re on the same side, north or south. We don’t need to be pulled together. We’re already there.

(Because people say things and this is my explanation for them)
