“
There is 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; 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.
