kin
One throbs with empathy. Her heart is heavier than her head, filled with thoughtful and caring. She feels more for strangers than I do for myself. She’s quick to trust, vulnerable where I’m shielded.
She prefers to understand before interjecting, letting conversation soak before responding. Dripping with self-doubt and she’s self-assured, intermittently, she’s fiery when put on the defensive.
Another pulses with social energy, witty and entertaining. She befriends easily, spritzed with shy. Able to discuss about anything with anyone, she is quick to ask and understand.
She’s less open, aporetic but devoted. Dressed in head-to-toe rational, she can deflect or manipulate those incensed or less deft.
A third vibrates with words, talking without saying. He’s skeptical, slow to trust, quick to condescend. He’s low on friendships but fiercely loyal. He’s judgmental and shallow, thinking too much.
Typically, he’s logical, trying to get as much information possible before reacting. Other times he reacts before realizing, with mixed results. His written or spoken words distract, clouding shaky points or thoughtless insights.
For too long they’ve been separate, finding themselves at their own pace. Together is different now, more interesting, less stressful. It’s far more enjoyable.
Three so different, yet similar. Linked through so many double helixes and shared environments. There’s no foretelling what’s to come but more time together is a necessity.
