I’ve always figured we gravitate toward people who are similar to us. I think that unspoken rule generally holds true, but over the past couple of years, I’ve met a few women who, once-upon-a-time, I don’t know that our paths would’ve ever crossed. Because, at first glance, we may appear to be polar opposites. However, we’ve each chosen to see the other with eyes and hearts filled with unbiased and unconditional acceptance in order to connect and explore our similarities — while we also embrace and respect our differences. After all, we would not be the women (and men) we are without both sides of the equation. And, thankfully, when my weaknesses threaten to bring me down, one of them is always there to lift me up by highlighting my strengths. I’m ever grateful to these friends who have helped me more clearly see who I am. Through them, I’ve learned that family is not simply related by blood.
Do you have at least one “least likely” of friends?

I most certainly do. His name is Snoopy, and he is a fellow I have met through the IMVU 3D programme, where I do a bit of role play. He is in every way the total opposite of me, and can be very confrontational with others. Yet, when we talk, he seems to lose the bold front, and will actually talk to me calmly, without going off the deep end. He can’t take criticism well, and tends to get rather harsh in his words with others. Yet we click. ❤
