Bohr today said the oddest relationship I was ever in in his mind was with Jake. I was surprised he even remembered it…it was so long ago and it was so brief. He said the reason is because Jake and I were very similar in background, mind and spirit, but something about the pairing surprised him. He said that I tend to date people who are interesting, who are very different from me. Sometimes they are interesting because they are so different.
Maybe I need to find someone who is similar to me, so we come from similar places and can more easily understand each other, yet we’re interesting enough to each other that the relationship is always coming up with new and rewarding dynamics.
