I Will Follow You Into The Dark
I have this theory, which I admit has some big holes in it, but I thought I'd share it anyway. I think a lot of people aren't really going to agree with or like this theory because it might be a little too honest, but whatever. Go ahead and disagree. You have my permission. I will not, however, rebut any arguments because I don't really think the theory is solid enough at the moment...Anyway...
I think the majority of us have one person in our lives whose presence can totally and completely fuck our whole world up. Now, I don't mean this in necessarily a positive or negative sort of fucking up; it could go either way. I am of course speaking of someone who you would have romantic feelings towards. This is a person who could disappear for a decade only to return and make you feel all sorts of confused, because after all, you've spent a lot of energy trying to deal with the absence and as far as you thought you were pretty damn successful. This is a person you could almost forget but as soon as you saw her/him everything just came pouring right back. This is a person who can turn everything upside down, make you want to forget everything you've worked for, make you want to abandon everything you have...just for the shot at maybe keeping this person present.
I also think that we are this person for someone else. You have the ability to totally and completely (how redundant) fuck up someone's world. You may even be this person for multiple people, but you only really have one (and maybe others who come close).
I don't think a high percentage of us end up with this person. That might be because it isn't necessarily true that this person would be the best person to be with and that you'd have a great relationship with her/him. Also, most of the feelings towards this person are purely passion driven, and while passion is a solid aspect of a good relationship it is not by any means an adequate singular foundation for one.
Still, wouldn't it be great if we could be with this person? I mean, what if there was more between the two of you than just the passion? What if you were each others person? That would be pretty okay too (cool points to ANYONE who got that!!).

You really are the Turk to my JD.
Then that would mean his girlfriend is Carla.
Question: Whose Elliot?
wow. preach it. that's all i gotta say.
yeah, I have one person too. but I don't think it would be good to end up with him. It's my favorite dream, but not a good reality.
