Another theory

SO my new theory is that relationship's with people whether they be romantic or friendship or aquaintance are like bridge/slides to other islands.
Each person has their own island, they are alone and there is no-one else there but them, each time we see a new person it's like we spot another island, this is where appearances matter, the only place really. When we meet them it's like seeing how far away they are, appearances matter a bit here but not so much, anyone who is cold or unwilling to say hello get's kicked off right here, you can still see them but they are just someone you met once and you probably don't know their name. When we have a conversation it's like making sure the foundations are ok. This is when anyone with completely dissimilar interests is disregarded, it's the second part to first impressions, your attitude matters here along with what you say and what you like. When you have the second conversation, maybe over coffee its like starting to build a bridge, this is when you realise if you have enough in common to not make it awkward, although it may seem surprising, many people make it to this stage without being deterred. The next stage is like laying the planks at the side of the bridge and testing if it's strong enough, this is probably where you would tell them something personal about yourself, you begin to confide problems with them, some get knocked off here, maybe the foundations aren't strong enough, maybe it's just too far away but anyway, the next part is laying the planks on the bridge, it's kinda like where acquaintance becomes friend. You have stuff in common it's all sweet, you continue to talk and the key is not running out of things to talk about, it's generally ok as you are on seperater enough islands you have enough stuff different. The next step is the railings where friend becomes good friend, you feel safe with this friend and you can tell them things, it can be a little easier to talk to them and you are not as self conscious. The second last stage is adding the trimmings, where good friend becomes best friend, you aren't scared to talk about anything, it's not ever awkward or weird, it's just comfortable. The final stage is moving from friendship into relationship, this is kinda like where your islands join together, it's difficult to maintain as you have to be different enough to have things to talk about but similar enough to not have fights. If you break up it's like the islands have to separate like in Avatar: The Last Airbender and Kyoshi splits the land and Kyoshi island. Yeah I'm cool. Anyway, the magma boils and there is sorta separation anxiety and anger and shit loads of emotions that don't fit on your island anyway, then it's over and if you are lucky, there is still a bridge there, you may want to knock it down, but maybe not. It work's the opposite way as well like when friends drift apart it's like the bridge is getting older, it's not as strong anymore, planks fall away and you are left with the frame and foundations whcih slowly erode. Most of the time you will still see the the island even if you aren't commected by a bridge but sometimes they just fade away back to water. It's also like if you have a good friend let's call them A who is also good friends with B but you are only acquaintances with B, then you are likely to build that bridge quicker, or on the contrary it could make you want to blow up that bridge. It's also like in friendships if the bridge breaks cause of an explosion, like a fight then you have to rebuild it, cause in the bridge goes trust and hard work, even though it's nice to have bridges, they take maintenance and you have to work to make them better.
So that's another one of my theories.
I thought I could post like a weekly theory thing, opinions?
Love you guys

That's a nice analogy

I do enjoy reading your theories as i obviously don't have enough patience or effort to ponder upon such theories.

So kudos for putting something like this together

haha i don't rly have the patience either, but i get rly bored so i think about my life and ways i can try and understand it, the theories are kinda like my map to the way i think. it's weird.

JD said...

Pretty good analogy...
As in it works... as in "Building bridges" "Burning Bridges"

Hoggle said...

Yeh, that's what I thought.

and then i was all like, but many situations in life can be compared to the operational properties of permanent structures and industrial objects etc etc like solid forms of matter.


so i'll make one too... erm, situation of waiting for the gates to open to boarding can commence, is like the way the highways work, many people are involved and they're all doing stuff. most of them bored and looking around and metal is involved. also things move, just like the highway. sometimes traffic is good, sometimes its bad and its always prettier in the dark

yep, my situation right now
