outlining the story...making the relationships real...

i am in the process of outlining the story that's finally coming out of my mind and heart...

i'm developing the drama of the story but staying with the idea that all the drama is to draw attention to the choices we make for ourselves, our friendships, our relationships and how all that life stuff, drama included, can make for a wiser self with truer relationships in our lives.

it's dynamic to realize that most people are friends with others who are very much like themselves.  same religious or political beliefs, same social circles, similar economic status, and some even have very similar internal conflicts, hair color and more than likely are the same race or nationality.  i wonder why this is.  is it easier to be "friends" with someone who doesn't challenge us to think about ourselves outside our own boxes or why we've chosen what's around us?  are some of us emotionally or spiritually unmotivated?  i believe the differences in us is what makes life spicy...
