"It depends on who you are, and what you need or want out of a relationship or life in general." Dahlia shrugs. "I know what I want my world to look like. I want a home full of people who mean the world to me. I want a network of people I can go to for support and comfort. I want to connect on deep levels with those people, and I want none of them to feel like they have to hold me up on their own, or that they're solely responsible for helping me through the--- mountain of baggage I come with." She laughs hollowly at that.

"There's nothing wrong at all with wanting only one partner. And you wouldn't have to do anything you didn't want to do. You could, if you decided you wanted to. If you met someone else. But that's your choice. It's okay for us not to need the exact same things, as long as we're on the same page."
