Oh and wrt the OP, I've gotten sort of a "true love? eh."
attitude. But I believe in the power of friends, the kindness of
strangers and I believe a deep connection is possible between
people who just meet.
Happens to me all the time. I can "feel" the connection. Happens
real life, over the Internet, wherever.
But true love? Eh. The "only-one-for-me" I kinda find to be a
myth, but as long as someone isn't torturing themselves over not
getting it, it's ok.
But awakening love? Well, I like awakening a "something" in
other people. I think of it as friendship, a deep connection;
and it's love. But not of a "one-true-love" variety but rather a
"Wow, we're like alternative timelines of each other" - a
compatibility across spacetime that goes beyond gender, age,
race, location, time - anything.
