“Uno si fa dei sogni, roba sua, intima, e poi la vita non ci sta a giocarci insieme, e te li smonta, un attimo, una frase, e tutto si disfa.”— Alessandro Baricco, Oceano Mare
“Colui che non ha imparato a dire «Lei e nessun'altra», sa forse che cos'è l'amore?”— Van Gogh, lettere a Theo, 9 luglio 1881
soulmate (n.)
A person with whom you have an immediate connection the moment you meet – a connection so strong that you are drawn to them in a way you have never experienced before. As this connection develops over time, you experience a love so deep, strong and complex, that you begin to doubt that you have ever truly loved anyone prior. Your soulmate understands and connects with you in every way and on every level, which brings a sense of peace, calmness and happiness when you are around them. And when you are not around them, you are all that much more aware of the harshness of life, and how bonding with another person in this way is the most significant and satisfying thing you will experience in your lifetime. You are also all that much aware of the beauty in life, because you have been given a great gift and will always be thankful.
