She says she can only fall in love once

I have a close friend and she always used to tell me that. She always said it would never be the same after the first time, and nothing will really live up to that first feeling. I don't think this is really true though; I think if it can be worse, then its possible for it to be better. I think the problem is people don't allow themselves to get that caught up in it after that as a defense mechanism, because that love shit can really fuck your head up.

Usually people end up falling in love with someone they'd never think they'd fall in love with --which was also true for me. The beginning felt like the best time in my life and the ending felt just as bad, proportionately. All in all, I'm glad I went though it and I absorbed alot from the whole experience. Two of the most powerful things that can change someone is falling in love, and money. These things can completey transform someone, to the point where you'd think you never really knew them --and you probably didn't. People hold alot of things back in their daily lives and once they have some reason to destroy all inhibitions, and really let themselves(their *true* selves) go, you may be suprised.
