The One
I've heard these two words applied to so many people. With each of my friends, they say that they've found "the one."
What exactly does that mean?
As I began to think more and more about it, I realized that I have absolutely no clue what that means. Is "the one" that boy who knows you better than anyone just because he's known you longer than anyone? Or is "the one" that strange boy on your bus that flirts with and offends you in turns? I know that so many of my friends would tell me that "the one" is that person you could never be without. You meet them, and you instantly think "This is the person I'll be with forever."
I don't know if I believe that. Hearing somebody say that they've found "the one" makes me think of so many songs and overly-dramatic shows where the person thinks they've found that one person that they're meant to be with forever, only to discover that "the one" wasn't who they thought they were. Is heartbreak as much a part of finding "the one" as it is a part of life?
What do you think?

It's really hard to know who is "the one" for us when we're in high school.
Personally, I believe that there are multiple "ones" (each complementing the best aspects in your personality and each with different dimensions that interest you). The difference is the way you interact with them. You have to chose which one you prefer to interact with, what do you value THE MOST? Humor, chemistry, intelligent conversations? If there's one persont that fits ALL the things you value, well, then you're just lucky. Otherwise, you have to chose one out of many...
Also, I don't like calling anyone "the one" for me, because I don't know for sure until I try out many other people (hence why I date so many guys and my friends think I'm crazy to go through heartbreak time after time). But I love relatinoships and the people I'm with because of the memories I have with them, and my friends just don't understand. But I digress.
People should keep dating to get a wide range of options of who they can realistically continue their life with. Good luck, everyone, lol. :)
