Re: What does Roswell mean for you?

Interesting topic! Here's my story:
I started watching Roswell when I was in high school. I wasn't THAT obsessed, I just really liked it and discussed it with one of my girlfriends back then. We were both Candy fans, and were arguing who gets "to be" Maria.
I wasn't that addicted in college, till the middle of my first semester. My high school boyfriend and I had broken up, but were in the process of getting back together. That was when I started getting back to the show's episodes, and I realized how much I liked it. Roswell had been cancelled (it was 2002 when I was a college freshman) and I resorted to fanfic to get over the cancellation.
There, in the middle of reading and rereading the show's transcripts, and reading and rereading my fave Roswell fanfic, I realized that I was just settling with my then-ex-trying-to-be-my-boyfriend-again. I was kinda immature then that I compared him to Michael (:lol: I'm sorry, I'm a crazy bitch). But, beyond that, I realized he didn't interest me enough to bicker with him. I just wasn't into the relationship so much so I stopped arguing with him because I stopped caring. I'm not saying arguments make a relationship better, but when you start getting sick of a person, you don't disagree with him at all coz he stops to matter.
And that happened again with my last boyfriend. I was rethinking our relationship (last year), and I realized that I was settling. I had fallen out of love with him, and I knew in the near future I would start hating him. And that was when I really really got active in this site.
The funny thing is, on both occasions, Roswell sites helped me toughen up and break off both relationships. I realize Roswell was like my fallback, and my "model" for what I wanted out of a romance.
So, to sum it up, Roswell and the Michael-Maria team shaped what I want out of a man, and out of a relationship. It's pretty much taught me that I should never settle, that true love means you don't hesitate for THAT ONE PERSON. Love is fire, passion, attraction, chemistry and the occasional crazy things, and Michael and Maria were testament to that.
(Is this a non-judgment circle? I think I should've asked that before I spilled my guts. )
