Unexpectedly Interesting

Every so often, a web forum post seems worth preserving. Even if I'm not sure exactly why.
This one was by someone talking about what it is to fall in love.

" Personally, it pissed me off. I was laboring under the belief that I could be a completely-fulfilled person on my own, and maybe I could have if I had never made this connection. But once I realized that there would always be a void without her, there was no turning back.
I think what made it most plain for me was that the realization wasn't all about flowery romance and swelling music. It was a frightening realization, to be so dependent on another being."
