People who are going to get along really well know it almost as soon as they meet. You spend a little while talking and everyone starts to feel this conviction, you’re all equally sure that you’re at the beginning of something good. That’s how it is when you meet people you’re going to be with for a long time.

I both agree & disagree with this.  I agree because it’s right, it’s happened to me.  I disagree because it’s not always right, it doesn’t happen every every time.  I think it’s about 75% in my life.  Because sometimes it takes more than a first meeting for my force fields to come down.  And once in a while, my first impressions are just wrong, and there’s grace for that.  I’m very thankful for the true friends I’ve found in unexpected people.  …Otherwise, though, yeah.
