What Makes Us Click? – Part 3
The Real Story
You walk into a room and see someone new. Your brain forms the first impression in a fraction of a second; it’s shaped by biases you’ve developed since you came to existence. You can’t prevent it, but you can acknowledge it. We should never underestimate our gut feeling when it comes to vibes people give off; however, relying on our first impression and judging someone based on their looks and expressions is hardly an accurate way how to understand a person.
Once upon a time I met a girl. She was quiet and shy and standing in a dark corner at the opposite side of the room. A couple years later…

My plans for the night bit the dust. I was drunk at home, finishing up a chat with my friend, ready to pass out in my bed.
Princess Unipony: Fuck everything. Yes, just wanna be left alone with my turtle
Baby Sloth: let me know what you are up to tomorrow, maybe I can join you for a while
goodnight 🙂
Princess Unipony: Yeah goodnifjt

Dick: How are you today ?
lets just put last night behind us, no hard feelings and yea it probably better we dont meet again. but still lets be cool next time we bump into each other 🙂
Princess Unipony: Yea, let’s do that.

Princess Unipony: Must be fucking kidding me, after the scene he made last night, he wrote me this morning to ask how I was. This guy is a real psychopath.
Reading back our conversation from last night 😀 I love this ambitious life goal of mine “I just wanna quit my job and hang out with you”
I’m actually so happy I have a job. I never loved my job as I do this morning. It’s one thing that keeps me normal and sane.
Baby Sloth: ugh, I am hating my job today.
Princess Unipony: good luck with your work, I wish I could come help you and hang out. Maybe I will get a job at your place 😀
Baby Sloth: Haha, yes! We can then just hang out in this sauna in grubby clothes.
I have to figure out how to balance my life better.
Princess Unipony: Yeah.. I’m trying to accept “waves” in my life as a necessary phase that probably follows after a break-up. But I agree that it’s a good idea to plant some normal activities in our schedules. We just better not do them together because you’re bad and I’m bad and together we are really really bad 😀
Baby Sloth: hahaha oh no, it’s true 😛
Princess Unipony: The two of us together are destructive in an enjoyable way..
Baby Sloth: like a fun hurricane
Princess Unipony:

Dick: Hello 😛
Princess Unipony: Hey, what’s up?
Dick: hmmm
just wondering something
Princess Unipony: yeah?
Dick: if you want to redeem yourself for past events 😛

Princess Unipony: Dick is writing me. he’s wondering if I want to redeem myself. wtf.
Baby Sloth: If I were you, I would have nothing to do with this creep
Princess Unipony: hahaha I know. that msg doesn’t even deserve any reaction.

11:35
Dick: I guess not then
Princess Unipony: I don’t feel there is anything I need to redeem myself for 🙂
Dick: I dont think you fully understand me
Princess Unipony: I guess not 🙂 maybe you can help?
Dick: im talking about the time we missed last time
are you not curious about what I had planned
Princess Unipony: I was curious but I’m not anymore. You were right, it will be better just to be friendly 🙂
Dick: better to be friendly ? the other day was strange to be honest
I dont think friendly works
Princess Unipony: when you suggested for us to be cool when we bump into each other I thought it’s a smart idea.. We don’t have to be friends but we can be friendly..
Dick: to be honest the friendship is ruined
well thats your decision
maybe next time just dont bother to say hi 🙂 im not interested in talking to you
only your body sometimes 😛
Princess Unipony: I’m not interested in talking to you or your body but maybe I’ll say hi

Princess Unipony: hmm so Dick kept writing me, I answered.. and although there is no chance for us being civil around each other anymore, I think at least I got rid of him 😀
Baby Sloth: I love how he acts like you’re the one who’s been acting like a jerk. Well, hopefully there won’t be too many run-ins with him…
Princess Unipony: yeah. haha, I also love his naivety. If he thinks that since he threw that fit, I cry every night over the missed “opportunity” with him, he must be fucking delusional. I ran into him on Sunday. And.. to be completely honest I felt a little satisfaction watching him trying so hard and being upset that he doesn’t have a shot. And that it ended up by me turning him down not giving a shit. If I wanted to be a bitch to him I could but I don’t need to prove myself anything and he’s not even worth the energy.
Baby Sloth: You are badass. You are my new role model 😀
Princess Unipony: Haha don’t take me as a role model! I make sometimes terrible choices 😀
Baby Sloth: I love your attitude though
Princess Unipony: :DDDDD
thanks :)) I’m trying to have fun no matter what.. 😀
I’m trying to stay confident and be on top of things which I wouldn’t be able to do if I didn’t have fucking awesome, supportive and positive friends who would never let me doubt I‘m a good person and deserve good things happening to me..
Baby Sloth: Our group is full of awesome people. I love them all, even when sober 😀
Princess Unipony: and that’s something! 😀
Baby Sloth: Oh man, so looking forward to getting out of the office and down to the river!
Princess Unipony: Ah, Prague! Why are you so magical, and how do you do it that the river and summer are such a perfect match?!

I wish I could say that it is as straightforward with people as it is with sun and Vltava. But when it comes to us, there is no such thing as a perfect match. Each relationship has its own lifespan, and there are two people in it, responsible for making it work or letting it go. I’m sure we can agree that shit happens. However, it’s crucial which angle we choose to look at it. Believe me, there is always more to a story.
What’s my story about then? It’s about the extraordinary people in my life who bring compassion and humor into any challenging life situations. People who offer respect, support and make me feel I belong without having to try to fit in. What makes us click is the lightheartedness and positivity we add to each other’s everyday lives. And then the “Dicks” remain just convenient side characters for a blog post.
