A snowball's chance

IS LOVE LIKELY?




Hold up a mirror. Look into it. Really stare at it, taking in every detail, every curve of your face.

Because we're about to do some self-reflection, gang.

HOW TO PLAY
✱ Comment with all the regs.
✱ Instead of topping and dropping, however, you're character is about to (probably traumadump and) dissect the the following topic with the scalpel of honesty: how likely is it that they'll find lifelong happiness with The One.
✱ Be real.
✱ Be really real.
✱ Don't worry, you're among friends. We'll tell anyone if they're actually Unlovable.

Me? Please. I’m a water monster with a taste of mischievous or dangerous stunts. I’ll take small flings here and there unless someone really wants me and can accept that.

Maa... "life long"? Whose life? It seems like any positive answer would either be very self-centered, or involve a suicide pact.

[Why self-reflect when you can dispute the basis of the question?]

Besides, I'm not sure exactly what "The One" is supposed to mean. I guess some people find it romantic, but I'm really not sure why... to me, it sounds like some kind of prescriptive destiny that ignores what really makes someone special. The same things that make them precious means others can be, too.
