one hit wonder

from ourchart.com:

Essentially, I think it’s different for everyone. I believe some people have one true love. Some people have many. But there is a third option here, which is the epidemic of being in love with being in love (this is the one I subscribe to — or have for years).

There was a time in my life when I thought I had found my one true love. It was the most amazing of feelings and I hung on for years. But it also consumed me and ultimately made me miserable. Letting go of her was right up there with one of the most difficult things I have had to do, however once I finally let her go, I experienced a freedom inside myself that I had never had. I am pretty sure that’s when I became an adult and simultaneously learned there wouldn’t be just one for me.

I think the number of relationships and the amount of love someone has throughout their life is seamless. You can’t really know if you are in love unless you’ve had love. And you can’t really know if you’ve had love unless you’ve had heart ache. And maybe the more of this you experience, the closer you are to that thing that we’re all (I am) looking for. And I think you need to play all the roles.
