You clicked on this article not because you don’t know the answer but because you don’t dare to believe it. Everything inside you is against the idea: the way you were raised, your religion, your faith, society’s expectation, and your own fears as well. You were raised with only one possible answer to the question.

You have been conditioned ever since you were a child, that one day the one and only love of your life will appear and make all your dreams (and maybe the dreams of your parents and grandparents) come true!

Snow White was found by her true love, Aladdin fell in love with Jasmine at first sight, and the knight in shining armour killed the fire-breathing dragon and saved the princess from the castle – and all of them lived happily ever after!

You might not have yet found your true love, or he or she might be already sitting in the room next to you while you’re reading these lines. But if you’re reading these lines, maybe you’re having some doubts.

Maybe you have already experienced that yes, it is possible to be in love with more than one person. Maybe – without even knowing it! – you’re actually in love with more than one right now.

You have two children – which one is closer to your heart and which one is less important?

You have two kittens – which one is your favourite and which one is the one that you just keep until you’re bored of her and you’re ready to put her down once you’ve grown tired of her?

You have two childhood friends both of whose friendship you cherish – which one would you choose to save with a life-saving serum that both would need to survive?

You love them both!

But why must you choose?

Why can’t you have two children equally close to your heart?

Or two kittens you equally favour?

Or two childhood friends whose friendships you equally cherish?

Or two people you’re in love equally?

The fact that we are capable to love more than one must be clear from these examples. Then, why is the world so up in arms against this idea? The way you were raised, your religion, your faith, society’s expectation, and your own fears as well – they are all against it. Why are we afraid of our own nature?
