We fall in love multiple times in our lives. Every one of these serve us as lessons, because unrequited love, love that fades and love that see's too many differences teaches us more than any stuck up university professor ever could. It thickens our skin, and opens our mind to things we would never have considered prior to these lessons life so graciously provided us with. It is at this time that we begin to put the pieces of ourselves together and view ourselves as a whole, to finally become who we are when we are alone.
