The Upside To Loving Someone Who Is Your Complete Opposite

Opposites do attract.

The Upside To Loving Someone Who Is Your Complete Opposite
Paige Morgan Photography

If you're dating someone who you wouldn't really consider to be your twin, but more like your opposite, you just might relate to these few points. Opposites really do attract sometimes, and it's definitely a journey being in a relationship with your complete opposite.

1. You learn new things constantly

Dating someone who says, acts, eats, and pretty much does everything you don't really can have its perks. You're both constantly introducing each other to new things and learning so much about each other in the process.

2. You challenge each other

Since they're so different from you, it's often hard to understand how they're feeling or what they think which can be frustrating at times but ultimately it strengthens your relationship. If you really take the time to understand the person you're with, you'll both grow together and begin to understand how the other one functions.

3. You argue a lot, but you grow from each disagreement

There will be arguments--lots of arguments, big and small, but you'll get through them if you really do love each other. Every argument is an opportunity to grow, learn, and understand both you and your partner. Are you sensing a theme, here?

4. You're constantly introducing each other to new things

Since you're so different, each of you has your own set of interests, experiences, and hobbies, but once you come together you begin to share those with each other which helps expose you to new and exciting things. It is always better to share new things with your significant other rather than just assuming they want nothing to do with your interests--you never know if something you love could be something you two can share together.

5. They keep you on your toes

You never really know what the other is thinking or how they'll react to something (unless of course you know them well enough at this point) so they really keep you guessing. Between impromptu road trips, dates at new restaurants, or even just learning something you never knew about them, your partner always keeps you guessing.

6. Your families are different

You grew up differently, and that can be both a blessing and a curse. You won't quite understand how each others families are, how they react to certain things, or what they believe in, etc. but over time you'll learn more about them. It's scary at first, like you're walking on eggshells, but the experience is well worth it and you'll have some new wonderful family members.

Dating your opposite can be challenging at times...or, most of the time, but it's worth it. Opposite couples, in my eyes, are some of the most beautiful couples because the amount of growing and learning they do really helps them both to become better people. The next time you get in an argument with your partner, take a breather and just try to remember all of the positives that come out of your relationship, and how much you love your person despite how different you two may be. You grow, you learn, you love, and you experience so much while being in a relationship with your opposite -- it really is all worth it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
