Non si può amare qualcuno per farglielo fare

Per quanto possa sembrare duro e devastante, è vero: non si può amare qualcuno che ti ama.

You can wait and hope, you can try to impress them, but nothing will work if they don’t feel the same.

Nothing will help; not romanticizing the conversations you had or talking to your friends who will look for the smallest signs of affection…

Don’t feed your feelings with memories, it’s only going to make things worse.

That’s the worst feeling ever; the feeling like you’re not enough for the person you love with all your heart and soul.

If they don’t feel the same, there’s nothing you can do.

There’s no point in trying to change yourself to fit their needs or likes. Nobody can change themself completely and be happy and it doesn’t guarantee you success.

If someone doesn’t like you as you are, why would you like to spend your time with them? They’re obviously not the right person for you.

There’s no point in waiting for somebody to catch feelings for you.

Firstly, it’s not likely that that will happen and secondly, it is degrading to wait for someone to decide you’re lovable enough.

Nobody should settle for halfway love. Love is the one thing in life you don’t settle for but genuinely and truly enjoy. It’s what makes your life.  

Love is an unpredictable feeling—you never know when will it show up and when it’s gone. It doesn’t follow rules and it’s not logic. You can’t plan or predict love.

Tuttavia, l'effetto dell'amore sulla nostra vita è sempre enorme.

That’s one thing people keep searching for their whole life, consciously or subconsciously.

It’s funny how little it takes to fall in love and be completely immersed in another person and how long and painful the process of forgetting them is.

It’s no wonder why many people just give up on love and close their hearts forever. When you give nothing but love but receive pain and rejection, it makes you want to protect your heart.

Ogni segno di difesa è segno di un cuore che una volta ha amato troppo.

Stare sulla difensiva è un modo per proteggersi dal dolore. Nonostante il dolore e il rifiuto, sono favorevole a mantenere il cuore vulnerabile.

Perché?

Accumulare altro dolore e rifiutare l'amore si tradurrà in ultima analisi in altro dolore. D'altra parte, un cuore vulnerabile ha maggiori probabilità di incontrare e riconoscere un cuore simile, anche se ci vuole un po' di tempo.

Keeping your heart open and vulnerable is believing in love. A love that doesn’t judge and puts you second; a love that’s pure and doesn’t take advantage.

Quando sperimenterete questo tipo di amore, saprete che tutto quello che c'è stato prima non era altro che una preparazione. Ogni dolore provato avrà improvvisamente un senso.

You’re worthy of the love that will always put you first and consider your feelings before anything else.

You’re worthy of a man who will accept you as you are and make you love yourself.

True love will shed light on you and reveal the person you are at your best. Your true potential will shine through and even when you’re not at your best, it will know that’s just a momentary weakness that will pass.

Nessuno è perfetto, ma l'amore genuino è la cosa più vicina alla perfezione.

Una relazione è un impegno di due persone che si proteggono e si rispettano più di ogni altra cosa al mondo.

When you’re with the person who understands that, you won’t feel the need to convince them.

Vi ameranno facilmente e la vostra relazione sarà senza sforzo perché saprete sempre il vero significato di tutto ciò che fate.

You’ll always have a safe place to come back to.

Don’t lose hope because of one person who was busy with their own challenges but keep believing in love because of that one person who will make your life complete.

Come sempre, tutte le cose belle accadono quando meno te lo aspetti e la cosa migliore di tutte sarà l'amore che ti meriti.
