On Grey's Anatomy, the character of Cristina Yang developed the saying 'You're My Person' to describe the way she felt about Meredith Grey. And I think it's safe to assume that it also goes the other way around for the Twisted SIsters. (Owen Hunt, anyone?)
Anyway, since then, the saying 'You're My Person' has gone around social media describing the various relationships people can have. From the best friend you have that has been on the toilet in front of you, while you were just brushing your teeth -- to the boyfriend/girlfriend that would answer your call in the dead of night, just because you had a bad dream, everyone should have a person. (And I mean that in every sense of the word.)
There is a certain... Over-dramatization of the social constructs in high school, and even in college through television, movies, and other mass media portrayals of any type of social gathering. And yes, before you go off ranting about things that you experienced during high school and college, the same does not go for everybody, That is why, in my completely unprofessional opinion, I think it is one of the greatest ideas to have a person. To have someone you can talk to anything to, might be the greatest factor of them all. There would be no more internalizing anger, and shoving it down to the dark and scary... You could just be free to yell, scream, cry, and throw an absolute fit, with your person ready to hand you the hammer to clobber whoever hurt you, or the shoulder to cry on, because it's all too much now. Everyone needs a person.
But I don't think everyone has just one person.
As exemplified perfectly through Grey's Anatomy, Meredith for the vast majority of the series is Cristina's person, but in season 12, Meredith becomes Amelia's person -- and I think that's what it's all about.
I need a person to tell all my secrets to, but I also need a person I can just vent to and yell at without them getting all weird. I also need a person who will tell me how smart I am, regardless if I passed my exam or not. And while you may be thinking that you can get all of that person in one, you'd be surprise at the limits some people have. Luckily, I have a person for almost all of my weird needs. I have a boyfriend, who fills my affection meter, and my support meter. He's always there for me, never wavering, and the love he has for me is unconditional. But I also have a best friend, who lets me yell at her when I'm angry. And another friend who tells me that my eyebrows are uneven, after I've put setting spray on, and I have another friend who calls me just because he's lonely at the drive-thru waiting for his food.
My people are what make me who I am today. Perfectly imperfect (Sierra Boggess reference, anyone?) And I love all of them.
So yes, it's important to have a person, but it's also important to have a small group of people that would help you and your one person bury the body. Because let's face it, dead bodies are kind of heavy...
But how would I know that anyway?
