[Mind] Who defines love?
We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our life time.
It's easy. The first girl I ever loved was someone I knew in sixth grade.
Her name was Missy, we talked about horses.
The last girl I love will be someone I haven't even met yet, probably.
They all count.
But there are certain people you love who do something else; they define
how you classify what love is supposed to feel like.
These are the most important people in your life, and you'll meet maybe
four or five of them over the span of 80 years.
But there's still one more tier to all this; there's always one person
you love who becomes that definition.
It usually happens retrospectively, but it happens eventually.
This is the person who unknowingly sets the template for what you will
always love about other people, even if some of these lovable qualities are
self-destructive and unreasonable.
The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different
than anyone else, and they’re often just the person you happen to meet the
first time you really, really, want to LOVE someone. But that person still
wins. They win, and you lose. Because for the rest of your life, they will
control how you feel about everyone else.
