I used to know a downtown street with old buildings and shops on both sides. Riding along the same street after many years, I noticed that the buildings and the shops on the left were still the same old ones, while the ones on the right had been replaced by new, all-modern constructions. This makes me think of two people who, when they start their path together (either a relationship or just a friendship), agree on many things, have similar ideas, beliefs, interests and then....a drastic change takes place. Actually, one of the two remains exactly the same, while the other undergoes a transformation, a metamorphosis, becoming more 'evolved' (so to say) in mind and ways. The sides of the "street" that used to run parallel, are now getting farther and farther from each other. Is it good? Is it sad? Whatever it is - it's all but unusual.
