How Many times Can You Fall in Love?

Those who've read my content before, know about that one time when I was madly in love and it changed me. However, now I would like to be more philosophical; I think it is possible to love, in the romantic way, more than one person in a lifetime.

Love is an affection, a strong one. Some people suggest that we should find our mate once and for the rest of our lives. Silly? Maybe. However, there are millions of girls and boys who wait for their "love of the life". We don't know if all of them find it, or if they stay alone when they don't succeed and just pet their cats. On the other hand, there are people who get into many relationships throughout their lifetimes, and each time they are madly in love, and every separation is a heartbreak. But are they actually in love, or do they just think they are? Do we have to believe that there is only ONE person that is perfect for us?

Personally, I don't believe that there are reasons to love someone. You love not for something, rather you love against everything. Against their past, imperfections and weaknesses. That explains why I hate when people ask each other: "What do you love him/her for?". However, I get even more annoyed when the other person gives an answer to that question. If you answer it, you should question yourself about whether it is a real love. If Love is an affection, then I agree that you might be affected by the other person's smile, or smell, or curves; however, you do not love that person for them. For me, it is difficult to say "I Love You" when I am in relationships with guys. Not because they are bad, but because without knowing and accepting all of their imperfections it is impossible to say.

As I mentioned, I did love once, but I believe that even though we went separate ways, there is another person whom I will be able to love. Maybe we don't know about each other's existence yet, or we are already having friendly chats, or maybe it is you, the person who is reading this post right now. I believe in destiny, and if we belong together then this is something we won't be able to run away from. Sadly, there is always a chance that even if we meet and turn each other's lives around, we won't last long. We will definitely leave some impacts, and love each other, but other variables may occur that will set us apart. However, I believe...

What if "Love" is not a feeling but a belief ? By looking at that from this angle I would, without a doubt, agree that we can fall in love more than once in a lifetime. Maybe, when we are in relationships, we only "believe" that we are in love; it can be true, because each individual has a different understanding of such a thing as "Love". Possibly, I thought that I had this incredible feeling that everyone talks about, however, my perception of this world developed, and now I wouldn't feel the same under the same circumstances. That can simply mean, that the person who I talked about in my previous post possibly wouldn't be the one I love now. I am sure each one of you were in, if not the same then at least a similar situation; it is honestly crazy to think about it.

I think that we CAN fall in love more than once, but I also think that it will NEVER be the same. We all develop, and our priorities change together with our views. The brightest example of it, is that while writing this content I discovered another way to look at "Love". We can feel butterflies with multiple people, but they will always be different breeds.
