"I'd seen the light, it was this glaringly obvious blind realization, like pure truth. It wasn't about anyone in particular, but about people in general. I realized at that moment there was no such thing as the one. Its more of a mind-boggling whole hell of a lot of potential ones, and while that should be comforting, its actually pretty terrifying. We'd all like to kick back and wait for some magical force to show us who we should spend the rest of our lives with, but the truth is, there isnt a lightening bolt that slaps you on the ass and tells you to pick this person above all others. If anything its like the rain. Rain falls all the time. Sometimes you're prepared for it, sometimes your not, and depending on where you are when it hits; you either get caught in it or you dont. In fact most of us try like hell to avoid it. You might miss the bus, you might catch the bus, maybe you remembered your umbrella, maybe you didnt. No big signs, just torrential bursts of opportunity. And thats the most fate can do, the rest is up to us."
