I really like and relate to how you think. I think people and their journey's are fascinating. I have discovered so many hidden talents in people here. Always willing to meet more.

You really impress me with your thinking. I didn't get a chance to see the depth in you last time you were here. You're a breath of fresh air.

I have friends that are polar opposites of me. Example: a very religious lady who loves xmas

I'm a pagan who loves halloween, but hates xmas.

I buy xmas decorations for her, she buys hallpween decoration for me. "Because it made me think of you"

We both adore 40's, 50's, and 60's music and share our latest favorites with one and other.

We both strive to become better people every day, regardless of our believes.

When I tell her "I'll pray for you" we both know it involves a ritual related to my religion (lighting the appropriate candles and making the appropriate sacrifices before chanting the appropriate words)
When she says she'll pray for me, we both know it involves a ritual related to her religion (taking a knee, folding her hands, and expressing her thoughts in words)

At the end on the day, we both with the best for one and other without pushing our beliefs on one and other. We know our words will go into the universe, and wether or not higher powers are real, we wish the best for eachother and will always be there for support and such.

If you're a analytical type of person, it's a little easier. Cause, you're not cemented into the same interests and pretty good at keeping a convo going. Well that's how I look at it anyway.

I would think it would stunt your growth mentally to only surround yourself with people who only like what you like and only believe what you believe. I learned pretty early in adulthood that I had a whole world out there to explore and learn about, and I’m still learning at my ripe old age.
