Com'è il vero amore

Disney movies have ruined love for every little girl. At least, this is what the majority of grown princesses think when they first start to date, longing to be swept off their feet by the perfect Prince Charming and taken to a castle to live happily ever after, only to discover real life isn’t exactly like the movies.

Dating is about trial and error, accepting imperfections, and discovering what we can and cannot live without. Bottom line—no one is perfect.

Tuttavia, il vero amore esiste. It is rare, it is beautiful, and it is unlike any other kind of emotional connection. For these reasons, it’s largely misunderstood and impossible to adequately explain to anyone who has yet to experience it.

So, how does this love feel? For those who have been lucky enough to experience it, there really is no need for an explanation. You just know when you’ve met your soulmate. This individual…

Si sente come l'altra metà.
Vi capisce.
Fa sorridere e ridere.
Fa battere il cuore senza motivo.
È impossibile da superare se si allontanano.
Torneranno se li lascerete andare.

This person makes you feel unlike you have ever felt before, and you just can’t get enough. It
doesn’t matter what stage of life you’re in, either. So, don’t let anyone convince you that you are too young to experience true love, that it’s ‘puppy love’ or nothing more than a passing teenage crush.

Believe them? Try letting your soulmate go. There is no greater tragedy for the heart. No matter how convincing your mind is, your heart just won’t let go. No matter how much time goes by, how much you evolve, how life changes, or how wonderful your new partner is, you will always feel the void of letting go of your soulmate.

And don’t even get me started on what happens when you hear their name in social circles! Does your heart skip a beat? Do people tell you they can see in your eyes what your words try to avoid? Do you cry when no one is looking? This is because you don’t want to hear about your ex’s new relationship, how happy they are, how great they’re doing, you just can’t hear this if you’re not there with them. It’s utterly devastating.

Ma, tranquilli, spesso la vita ci presenta delle sfide o ci mette su una strada sbagliata per farci imparare a conoscere noi stessi e il mondo che ci circonda. Solo imparando a conoscere noi stessi e da questi errori, cresciamo e iniziamo a capire cosa vogliamo veramente nella vita. E solo quando sappiamo cosa vogliamo veramente, possiamo apprezzare la bellezza della nostra vita. il vero amore.

So, fear not, princess. There is light at the end of the tunnel…

Se avete sperimentato il vero amore e avete commesso l'errore di lasciar andare questa persona, essa tornerà. Vedete, la vita è un po' come i film, dopotutto, e il vero amore è un'altra cosa. serendipità does exist. This is because true love is never one-sided. Everything you feel toward your soulmate is reciprocated. This is the very meaning of ‘soulmate’. You two cannot live without each other.

If your ‘first love’ is really meant to be your sempre amore e il tuo ultimo love, it will happen. You two will be together again. There’s a reason why you had to spend some time apart, and you need to trust the process. Know that while you may not understand all the reasons at first, you will understand everything in time. Don’t give up. Have faith in a happy ending.
