  1. Every relationship is different, so I don't believe in this. I've loved a few people in my life, and each of them touched me in ways that the others did not. Love is beautiful and big and varied. I do, however, believe that there are few people we meet who are capable of really knowing us and touching us very deeply--this is true for friendships, intimate relationships, what have you. It's rare, I think, but not impossible, and certainly not limited to just a few people. I think I used to believe in this theory but I also realize that in retrospect, the intensity of some of my memories of certain people had to do with my immaturity at the time (convincing myself that I would NEVER feel this way again, and that the other person was the alpha and omega of my existence) and my tendency to give my power to others and believe that I had absolutely no control over my feelings--they were dictated by some mystical, otherworldly source. This isn't to say that I'm not capable of feeling the same intensity with someone else now that I'm older, but the drama was always amped up when I was young, so I tended to blow things out of proportion and endow perfectly normal, perfectly flawed human beings with supernatural power and the encomium of being "the one."
