intercommunal relationships

you ever wonder if there's someone out there almost exactly like you? someone who thinks the way you do; someone that dances your way; someone that loves the same food you do?

well you can easily find an answer to those questions by looking at another community. you'll find someone who thinks like you, dances your way, that loves the same food you do. they're not exactly like you, but you guys are hella alike. the way you bag on each other, the way you laugh, the way you argue.. its just there.

when you find that person, you suddenly gain a friendship because you have such a strong connection. you feel like you know that person pretty well even if you've only known each other for a month. from my observation, if the person you find is of the opposite sex from you, a question is then proposed to both of you via rumors: am i starting to like this person?

whichever direction your friendship goes, whatever answer you get from that question, it all leads up to one thing: drama. you'll have a personality clash and although you're not together, something will happen that will wreak havoc towards both of you and the people close to you. it bites like heck and hurts like whoa and the only way you can get over it is through a way that you wont want to: confrontation.

confrontation is the only way you and that person can understand each other full out. there wont be anyone to say things to try and make you see the other side of the story. there wont be anyone but you and that person which will force you to see the their side of the story and them to see your side. whether you like it or not, whether you're prepared or not, confrontation will happen.

but in all actuality, you are prepared. God will give you the strength, the graces, the energy to survive the tears, the pain, the harsh words said.

how do i know you're prepared? because before, intercommunal relationships didnt really exist--at least from my knowledge. before, you didnt use to meet that person who was similar to you who lived just half an hour away. so why didnt intercommunal relationships exist? why didnt we use to meet that person? because we werent ready to face the trial we're facing now. we werent ready to be tested and face the drama. that's how i know you're prepared and that's how you should know you're prepared: cuz its happening in God's time.

let go and let God. its hard, but it works. it did for me.
