Two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one

When I was little, I used to scrawl my name, register number, and class on my books (even non-school books). Weird I know - but perhaps it was because school was a big part of my life, what with it taking up like 90% of my time. Plus, I was probably too young to understand the person I was. So much o that that became a form of identifying myself.

Today, I have found more articulate ways of defining myself, of course. But even that is perpetually changing. How do you begin to put a person's entire existence into words? You can describe yourself today, and the next day realise that there's something, the most minute thing, that's somehow changed.

On that note, I don't believe that there is such thing as "The One". (I know the thought seems scattered but stick with me here) How can you guarantee that there's that one person who you'll always have feelings for? People do not fall in love based solely on factors like looks or age/maturity, but on their personalities and how well they connect. Right? Well then if we are constantly in a state of growing, and inadvertently changing, the person you declared to be The One a year ago might annoy the shit out of you now. I think people use the term too loosely.

I'm not denying the existence of successful relationships. Just that I don't truly believe that there is ultimately only one person for each of us. Maybe you didn't get a chance to meet the others. I don't know if that is being realistic or terribly optimistic, theorizing the presence of multiple options.

That said, I am hoping my prospects come out of the woodwork, soon. ;)
