Another kind of science

Chemistry.

Now, I know what you're probably thinking, but no, I'm not about to regurgitate my entire H1 Chem syllabus here - and I probably can't despite the last chem paper being only a day away. But anyway, no, I'm not talking about the fancy prancy Chemistry with its table of elements and reactions. I'm talking about chemistry between people.

Human chemistry.

I've always believed there's such a thing between people. I find it incredible how differently we behave around different people, (involuntarily, I'm not talking about fake bitches here) and how despite us all being humans, we have such different relationships and form of interactions with the different of us, from strangers to friends, and to the different forms of friends.

It's crazy how comfortable and close I can get with certain friends, yet remain as detached with others, even though I may known them for equally long. It's really amazing how once you hit it off with a person , no matter how long or short you've known them, and things just feels right. There's endless list of things to talk about, you're all laughing alot, and you basically just enjoy their presence, like somehow, there's just this unknown but positive energy and force , otherwise what I call human chemistry, between the two of you, or even a group of you.

But on the flip side, there's also this group of people or acquaintance, or even friends, that no matter how much you wish you two/group of y'all could get closer together, or have a deeper friendship, no matter how much you try or they try, nothing works. You're stuck at this boring phase and you wonder if you've yet again, reached the end of another friendship because there just feels like something lacks. But you never do go on to ending the friendship and ties because on deeper thoughts, it seems a waste to just throw away the friendship and semi good times you've enjoyed together. Like nothing's really wrong, but nothing's really right.


I suppose I'm a person of sentiments and I've never been fond of giving up on friendships or people. I wonder if people are all like me. But truth is, people come and go. Sometimes we've just got to accept that certain people are just passing phases in our lives and there's little value in holding on to something that eventually falls apart. I guess sometimes in life, we've got to learn how to let go and sometimes, just maybe sometimes, drifting with certain people isn't that bad.

Nonetheless, I still get pretty sad thinking how wasted it is that some people will never see the better side of me, and how I will never see the better side of them because of all these human chemistry and the different way we react around them.

Maybe this is the so called, 'fate' .
