Kinda why I have to stop falling
in love. Happened enough times
that it's getting crowded. Like, to
the point where I actually have to
think to come up with everyone
I love.

Luckily for me, I rarely fall in love. It takes a very specific blend of ingredients and traits to make me slow down and take notice. And that doesn't happen a lot. I can see hundreds of people a day, and hardly ever do I take a second look. I think I've only been in love about three times in my entire life, and two of those were unrequited. The third was a jerk who it still took me a long time to get over.

I don't think I've ever loved
completely wrongfully. Some
poor choices - but there was
always something. I can't think
of a case where it didn't end up
in a friendship, at some level.

Indeed, that's really WHAT my
love tends to be. Friendship. I
love all my friends, and don't
see much difference. What was
hard to do was to understand
that I love my family, because
they have never really been
my friends. Finally admitted it,
and found a way to reconcile it
as all the same thing.

One word. Forever. Doesn't mean
LIKING however (I knew that from
my PE). But it means something
pretty heavy.
