Relationships are like food.
I just thought of this analogy and I think it works really well.
When making a meal you need to have a good flavor balance, you need the salty, the sweet, the savoury, and the spicy.
You are a part of the meal to so you need a food that compliments you well too. For example I think of myself as like a potato, I'm not super flavorful but I'm a good base and I go well with a lot of different flavors, aka I get along with people very easily. But there is certain foods that I get along with best and those are like my friends and family.
And so having relationships and making friendships is like making a meal. Sometimes you might need a bit more spice in your life so you will hang out with a more adventurous friend. Or maybe you don't like spice so you hanged out with a more sweet friend.
But it's still important to have a balance in your diet, to much of one thing can also be bad.
And some times someone doesn't compliment your flavor and it's okay. You can't expect everything to taste good together.
This also might be why opposites attract, they taste well together even if it's an odd flavor combination.
I just think that this is a cool concept and way to look at relationships.
