I constantly find myself compelled towards the same type of people. These strikingly introverted souls are those who have so much to say, but no desire to free their mind. I will never know if it is the mystery behind them that intrigues me, or just the entirety of them being different than I am. Our attraction towards one another is of the most paradoxical things I can comprehend. I love someone who is different than I am, but because they are different is the reason I love them. Unintentionally, I have this hope of transforming them into something new; something they have always aspired to be but never had the courage to do, and this is my cross to bear.

For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to the “nonconventional” types of people, those with many layers to them. I believe that it is those people with many layers that intrigue my soul, and in a way they remind me of onions; you must peel back layer after layer to find the goodness inside of them. I possess a guilty conscience when I do not take the time to understand these types of people, and offer them someone to confide in. In some ways, I view it as my job to do whatever I possibly can to do something for another person when it comes to this aspect. I never want a moment to go by where someone feels utterly alone. It is not that I want to change who they are, but I possess the desire to allow them to have an outlet to the rest of the world. They just need that extra push to be their own person, and like a bird, I take them under my wing. I strive to help these people discover what the rest of the world has to offer, and I give them the opportunity to see what it feels like to really be seen and heard for who they really are.

I have always attempted to be a very non-judgemental person, and I feel like this is where the ultimate attraction lies. Not only are we opposites, but we find qualities in each other that the other lacks. These reserved people are not open books, but rather they drive me to be compelled to read page after page and understand all the curves and edges of their personalities. Although I am not required to offer kindness to everyone I meet, it is something I have become accustomed to, and I would not be the same without that quality. It makes me who I am; I am the approachable person who you can rely on to keep a deep secret, or rely on for that boost of confidence. I know that no matter how much time passes, I will always view this as something I must do. I never realized how true the phrase “opposites attract” is until I took a step back and looked at all the people I had formed bonds with. Our relationships can be symbolized through magnets, when two unlikely people come together and just click. I do not know what touches my soul more, all that I have taught them, or all that they have taught me.
