Find More Kindred Spirits

I discovered her in my creative writing class. We found out that we’ve been living next to each other for the past ten years without knowing it! It was an automatic connection, we skipped the formal stuff and became great friends very quickly. We plan to have bohemian picnics and downtown adventures. We’ve decided to carpool to school singing Beatles’ songs. And we’re both going to introduce each other to new kindred spirits, and we’re also both on the look out for new ones. We brighten each other’s whole day. Everything is wonderful. She is the ultimate.

Besides her, I’ve found quite a few potential kindred spirits. I don’t know what’s going on—it’s just phenomenal. I’m happy.

lately i have been on a roll finding the best of the best…

It’s not measurable so I’m not sure if it’s an appropriate goal. But it just seems like a good idea!

I met a girl in middle school and we were inseperable. We were cohesive best friends, we were so silly and creative and unique together. Everyone always associated me with her and her with me. Some (it was middle school) accused us of being lesbians.

Now we’re juniors in high school and we hardly speak to each other anymore. We’ve never fought. We don’t hate each other and we’re not mad at each other. We just drifted apart, and indifference is even worse than hatred. I’d love to become best friends with her again. But it seems that she found a new kindred spirit. I still love her though. We were so close back then that sometimes I still consider her my best friend.

I miss the close twin-like connection I felt with my old friend, how attached and loyal we were to each other. It was beautiful. I might not see her anymore after high school. It’s devastating, and I wonder if she feels the same way. But everyone has multiple kindred spirits, and I’m hoping to meet someone even more similar to myself than my old friend was. Someone who loves literature and romanticism. My old friend did not understand my love for the nineteenth and early twentieth century. I’d like to find someone who loves poetry and writing, as I do, someone who’d like to have wild Quixote adventures with me. Hopping trains and road trips and hitchhiking, like Kerouac. We could write letters to each other, real letters (in green ink, most preferably).

It’d be even better if this kindred spirit was a boy and we fell madly and desperately in love. But I want a sister just as much.

Sorry for the unneccessarily extended post. I know no one reads this. This is for me.

found another kindred spirit last saturday night. We talked for hours!! It seemed like talking to and catching up with a old friend!

true?

Last year in college, I believe I found a few. Hopefully, friends for life.

some of the most kindred spirits I have ever met have been people who on the outside are the total opposite of me. Some of my closest friends are different from me in every way

my cherished kindred spirits of five years ago are now distant aliens with the 180-degree-turn my lifestyle has taken. in 2001, I lived inside DC’s nightclub district, was practically a regular at certain bars and clubs, worked in DC, owned a 2D coupe, had clubbing buddies and had frequent house parties that lasted till the wee hours. now, in 2006 with 2 kids, I live/work in the burbs, go to bed at 9PM, sold the coupe/own a forester, and only make friends with other parents because they “get it”! my few other girlfriends-with-kids (who used to be in the “scene”) and I celebrate when we hear about newly pregnant friends so we can initiate them into our new coterie…
