This blog was inspired by a conversation I had with a brother and sister, Isaac and Ellen, who have both helped me ride my bike. It should be noted that a common diversion during my bike rides is watching a movie. The three of us were discussing movies and while the siblings were bickering over which genres constituted worthy movie choices, I found that there were films I enjoyed that I had in common with both of them. If it is not obvious, while I had abundant common ground with each of the siblings, they had very little, if any, with each other. My ability to bond equally with the dueling duo got me thinking about how I am able to get my fill of all genres by simply dividing my bike riding/TV viewing time amongst a few different folks. For example, I geek out with my cousin watching sci-fi and fantasy, I was able to introduce Ellen to all the awesome 80s movies and romantic comedies that predated her generation, while Isaac gave me an opportunity to get a little “fast and furious” while riding into the “danger zone.”
Loa, you present the case of different friendships fulfilling different needs very well. Growing up, my family moved 15 times. I had to adapt to a different set of friends each time. While it was somewhat difficult, I grew from the experiences and learned quite a bit! Everyone has a special gift 💝
I can only imagine how moving that often as a child was difficult; however, I bet it taught you how to make friends easily, something I did not learn until later in life!
Variety is the spice of life and you have found that to be true.
So fun to hear your opinions on life.
Gods blessings 😊
