Does this Make Sense?

     From personal experience, I've come to the conclusion that compatibility isn't always the biggest factor in friendships. Some of my best friends have been people that I can be crazy with and do ridiculous things with. Those friends that you can just sit in your room with and die laughing for hours. Then one day you come to the realization that you don't actually know much about each other. So what happens when you've been "best friends" with this person for so long, and you realize that you aren't compatible at all? You have opposite opinions about love, life, people. Your goals and aspirations don't match, your work ethic is completely different. On the other hand, when they're gone, you miss them. I don't think that feelings really matter, I don't think that love is what brings us together. I think that people are tied together because of what they've been through. I think that relationships are based on experience, and the understanding that comes from these experiences is where that love roots from. Maybe this is why so many people fall in love with that person that's always been right in front of them. Or why a widow is attracted to a widower. Or why arranged marriages end in love. But then maybe its not love at all, maybe it's just need.
