How’s your day going? Do you have a minute or so? I just want to share this:
“You can’t fall back in love with someone. Because you can’t love the same person twice. Because they’re not the same person. They were changed by the first time you loved them. And they were changed by the first time you left them too. So when you lean in close and whisper that you’re falling in love with me again, after all this time, make sure you’re in love with me, and not the memories.”
– Danielle via Scribblingsanddust
I saw this on the Facebook page of berlin-artparasites . This is so powerful and true.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about this. Have a good day! 🙂

Very true. Even a single touch changes the status quo. Not a thought to dwell on for too long I think!

Yes, indeed! But, I’d like to know why is it not a thought to dwell on for too long? 🙂

Because you may think too long before doing, or saying something, so much so that the moment passes and is gone without your involvement.

That is very true! I have that habit of thinking through things too much until the chance slips away. I have to get rid of that attitude, I think.

True. So many people want the memories and not the reality of the situation that they forget the reasons that they stopped loving someone.

Wow very true. Getting back together after a break up rarely works out.

That is why, sometimes, the famous line “love is sweeter the second time around” makes me cringe.

This has me blinking a bit. I’m deciding if, after a bit of a rough patch, I want to make my heart vulnerable to falling back in love again. Am I in love with what we had, or who he is now? Excellent question, and one I need to chew on for a bit.
