Cow

I'd seen the light. It was this glaringly obvious blind realization. Like pure truth, and it wasn't about anyone in particular, but about all people. I realized at that moment, there is no such thing as the one. It's more like a mind boggling whole hell of a lot of potential ones. And while that should be comforting, it's 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. There isn't a lightning bolt that slaps you on the butt and tells you to pick this person over all the others. If anything, it's like the rain. Rain falls all the time. Sometimes we're prepared for it, sometimes we're not. And depending on where you are when it hits, you either get caught in it, or you don't. In fact most of us usually try like hell to avoid it. You might miss the bus or you might catch the bus. Maybe you remembered your umbrella, maybe you didn't. No big signs. Just random, torrential, bursts of opportunity. That's the most fate can do, the rest is up to us.
