There is a strong belief that every soul needs to meet three great loves during its lifetime. Each of these loves carries lessons, heartbreak, or bliss.
Some souls spend their lifetime searching for the third type; some find it when they are ready, while some souls find it right away, when they are really young.
But most souls do meet all three, and they are essential to our growth, transformation, and identity. Here are the three loves every soul meets on its journey.
1. The First Love: The Innocent Beginning
When we are young, full of hope, and wide-eyed with innocence, we often find our first love. It’s the kind of love that feels like a fairy tale, full of passion, excitement, and new things.
Everything feels new and exciting, from holding hands to long talks to the joy of being picked for the first time.
2. The First Love: The Innocent Beginning
This love teaches us about love and how beautiful it is to be open. But it’s also where we often learn our first sorrow, when we realize that love isn’t always enough to keep things going.
First love is soft and new; it shows you what love might be like but doesn’t usually last. Instead, it sets the stage for all that comes next.
It leaves a mark on the soul, a memory that makes us feel both sad and grateful when we think about it, because without it, we wouldn’t know how deep our own heart is.
3. The Second Love: The Hard Lesson
The second love is often the most intense and the hardest. This is the kind of love that burns brightly but also creates storms that test us in ways we never thought possible.
There is frequently drama, heartache, and cycles that repeat until we ultimately learn what we need to.
This love can feel all-consuming, and it often lasts longer than it should because the connection is strong but not always good for you.
4. The Second Love: The Hard Lesson
The second love makes us deal with our scars, fears, and insecurities. It’s not kind; it changes you. This love breaks us open, leaving us wiser yet still hurt.
We tend to want to reconcile with this love often because we think we can change the outcome since we learnt our lesson, but it only ends up in more pain. It teaches us how to set limits, respect ourselves, and not lose ourselves in someone else.
It hurts, but it’s vital because it takes away our illusions and reveals to us what we really desire and need. We come out of this relationship with scars, but we also come out stronger. This love changes us and gets us ready for the love that is to come.
5. The Third Love: The Unexpected Forever
The third love often comes when we least expect it. At this time, we’ve been through enough to know ourselves better, and we’re not striving for perfection anymore.
This love doesn’t come with a lot of fireworks or drama; it comes with calm, balance, and ease. It feels like home.
The third love loves us for who we are, flaws and all, and we end up doing the same for our partner. It grows gently and steadily, creating trust, laughter, and friendship.
6. The Third Love: The Unexpected Forever
This love doesn’t ask us to give up who we are; it celebrates who we are. It’s not about repairing or finishing each other; it’s about traveling together as equals.
The third love is distinct because it comes from both passion and stability, which is a unique combination that gives long-lasting happiness.
This is the kind of love that lasts, the kind that feels like it was meant to be, since it comes after we’ve grown enough to truly accept it.
Born and raised in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ever since I was a little girl, my imagination knew no bounds. I remember vividly how I’d scribble down short stories, each page bursting with adventures and characters conjured up from the whimsy of my mind. These stories weren’t just for me; they were my way of connecting with my friends, offering them a slice of my fantasy world during our playtimes. The joy and excitement on their faces as we dived into my fictional realms motivated me to keep writing. This early passion for storytelling naturally evolved into my pursuit of writing, turning a childhood hobby into a fulfilling career.
