A X B = ?

Much has been said about people with type A & type B personalities. They are like the opposing part of the spectrum. A is driven and organised though they can be a control freak and obsessive. B is laid back and extroverted but they lack organisational skill and is easily distracted. What happens when two people from opposing end get into a relationship? It could be just a case of opposites attract.

But speaking from my own experience, they won't last. Could it be just because our differences that drove us apart? Or could it be just the basic nature of the thing we call relationship itself? They are not meant to last.

As I write this post, I wonder if I really had become this person that is so skeptical? I would like to think that I can still find happiness with another person. But honestly these days, I'm just happy being with myself. To me, trusting my own happiness in another person's hand is a very scary thing and I don't think I can do that any time soon. Sure, I've seen relationships that work. I wanna be a part of a relationship that is actually functional, but little by little I've grown to accept that maybe I am not built that way and that I am destined to be mostly alone. I've grown comfortable enough being alone anyway.

But still, I feel like there's something missing in me and I've grown to think that the piece that will complete me might not necessarily be a human being but could be my work.

In my case, we've grown so much so that A is not A anymore and B is not just B anymore. We've become an unstoppable force and an immovable object. What happened when those two things clashes? I'd like to think of myself as the unstoppable force. I'd like to think that the force could just take a turn and keep moving forward. Who's to say the object is blocking all your path? And if it does, you can always break the ceiling, break the ground, keep moving.

That's what I'd like to think anyway, or maybe I'll end up a bitter old skeptic. Whatever happens, if it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be. My advice is, initial attraction is not enough to sustain a relationship. You need to have someone that can share your vision and grab you by the hand and walk together towards your goal in life.
