Reactions.

They say opposites attract, and in some cases that is so. But not always. From personal experience, I can say that it is possible that two cut from the same cloth can fit like hand in glove. I believe that attractions happen chemically, without even so much as being aquainted with a person. How else do you explain that in most friendships, both parties magically "hit it off" upon meeting? Mind you, some people start off hating one another, and then one day run into each other and decide that they're best friends. Their chemicals mixed wrong.

Relationships can start like a science project. Smoke, bubbling, success! Or... foul smells, bubbling over, and in some cases, even an explosion. You could be casually walking down the street with friends and happen to look across the way for no particular reason, and spot someone. Someone whom you're immediately attracted to. It doesn't have to be a sexual attraction at all. You suddenly have a general interest in this stranger. And then, you lock eyes. Yes, they feel it too. Before long, you're immersed in conversation, or have at least swapped numbers. (Unless you're a shy person like me, in which case, you'd look away, shuffle off and never see them again, and regret it for days and days and days.. )

And in the case of hating someone's guts upon meeting, the chemicals meet mid-air and it's like a Mortal Kombat match. You can't stand the way they smell, look, speak, stand, OR you love everything about them and that confuses you, so you pretend to hate them when really, you just don't understand. But let's just say that you do hate them. Your chemicals and their's just weren't made to mix.

Now, I'm no scientist. But how I do love theories. Most of them probably seem silly, and I welcome retorts. I truly believe though, that chemicals and atoms and pheremones work around us to draw fellows into our midst. That's how people fall in love. It's also how people fall out of love. Chemicals can change, become stronger and weaker with time, different elements and temperatures. Unless of course there's more than just a chemical connection. A fate connection.. well that's in the heart and heavens, and nothing can change that.
