Meeting of souls ...

A couple that endures knows how to choose each other every day, which is not an easy thing, but it is possible. How?

More than with words of love, with actions of love, with passion and commitment, with renewed desire, and above all, with reciprocity.

Why?

Because a love forever is a game of back and forth, giving and giving, where both commit to love, nurture and add the best of each to the relationship.

Love, look and accompany each other in the same direction. To grow together and build together. To participate in a mutual completeness. Love in lowercase and Love in uppercase, the same, different, like almost everything human is a paradox and a contradiction.

Being different is important in a couple, but too many different, destroys the couple. Eros is always present, but it is never enough. Love is impossible to define, and it is only possible to begin to understand it from the particular, the personal and in the experience...

True love is built with ups and downs.

The love that defines the theory is a taxonomy, that is, a simple classification or inventory, or worse a statistic and some techniques. And in this classification that many of us know and practice, there is: love love, the filial and familiar, God, abstract that is when we depersonalize and generalize, making love, as if it were an object made, realized and already.

Ahhh.. there is also mercenary love and the list lengthens according to the sense, and ends in a phenomenology.

Then there is the cultural, literary, artistic and historical era of customs and customs in matters of sexuality, dating, marriage, procreation, etc. And today we should add gender diversity and love.

Anyway, the more we keep talking about this feeling, the more the topic gets complicated and more complex. 😂

In the end, we only know about love from our own experience.

What is true and universal is that no one can do without it, in any of its many manifestations and definitions. Love is sublime for literary beauty, but even more so for existential coherence.

If we are going to love, let us love with everything. It is the most precious gift we can feel or experience. It makes us stronger spiritually, gives us hope and illusion.

And of course let's never forget self-love, it is the basis of everything you share with others, and when you love yourself, you learn to love the world better. Don't wait for someone else to complete you, you are enough already.

Give yourself the love you are looking for, the words you need to hear and the care your heart asks for.

Legend has it that love heals and that same tale says that love teaches us what we are capable of.
