OPPOSITES ATTRACT # yes they do
Disclaimer: I am participating in Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022 and this is my post for O # OPPOSITES ATTRACT
I used to think it an Overrated Notionπ
Searching for like minded people with all devotion ππ
Solely for this I made friends who were like me π€ π€
Hanging around with them is what I used to be. ππ
Enjoying the same hobbies and subject matter ππ
It felt like birds of the same feather flocking together.π¦π¦
I never realized so much I was missing π
Acceptable and precise then it was all seeming π
At home, two of my sisters were like me in many aspects. ππ
But with the third I was always at loggerheads π
She was totally my Nemesis π€
My character's absolute ANTITHESISπ
We absolutely never got along π¦π¦
I always thought I was right and she was wrong ππ
She on her part also thought the sameππ
Always arguing for reasons so lameπ±π±
Now, when I look back I realize π€«
She actually added spice to my life .π€©π€©π€π€
Very recently she called me ADOPTED π€¨π€¨
With a daughter like her my parents must have really felt the need to do it ππ
As an adult #
I always felt Love β€was not looking at each other, but looking in the same direction
In the latter case it would never reach its saturation π
I got married to the person thinking we had the same set of mind ππ
Only later I realized he was simply one of his kind π¬
So many years into our marriage π even the remotest similarity I m yet to find π±
I can now understand this is what destiny had designed π
I remember our very first conversation π
After we returned from our marriage destination ππ
He had asked how I Iiked Cleanliness π
To which I had replied , it was next to Godlinessπ
The next day π he gave me a Mop and a Pan
Expecting by evening to see things absolutely Spic and Span
He was obviously disappointed when he returned π
I said , I did like seeing neatness but how it's to be done , I m not concerned. ππ
He was speechless π¬
seeing me hopeless π₯΄
I realized he was immaculate and orderly ππ
And I was disorganized and messy ππ
He was patient and at times overbearing π
I was always in a hurry to finish things π€π€
I being impulsive, he was over cautious β οΈ
He was fond of eating out, and enjoying a hearty mealππ
I would rather stay at home savoring my rice and lentilπ
He was happy working, and investing in money making schemes π°
I was forever lost in my regular work and day dreams πΈ
I was always impressedπ€ but never truly inspired π€
I was happy π with myself, and him I just admired π§
Still looking back at so many years, we did get along fine.π₯³π₯³
I've adopted his ways, and he has made peace with mine ππ
LESSON LEARNT #
PERFECT IS NOT WHEN TWO PEOPLE ARE TOGETHERππ
IT'S WHEN THEY ARE BOTH OPPOSITES, BUT IN THAT WAY THEY COMPLETE EACH OTHERπ
REPERCUSSIONS #
Thankfully I didn't get what I had wanted thenπ
Two people looking in the same direction ππ
Had I married someone just like me π
One of us would've become unnecessary π
That line where u wrote u r adopted coz of ur other sister ..lolππ gave me laughs...u neatly put how opposite mind sets may attract but with ajdustments and compromises
ReplyDeleteDropping by from a to z "The Pensive"
My dearest rival, we are stuck in a loop - Can't live with them, can't live without them. If I add the much-needed spice to your life, you take away the spice from mine and fill it with green tea or daliya (porridge)
ReplyDeleteI think 'opposites attract' is such a lovely concept. How else would we fall in love with love hate relationship based dramas!! Hahhaha, no but jokes apart - it's cute because there's so much more happening then. Be it any kind of relationship - siblings, spouses, friends - imagine the spice and variety and ideas coming in, even if it causes friction. Between people who care for each other, that is also ultimately a way of bringing people even closer! Stay blessed chotu (as your self-named nemesis calls you!)
