While I still had the clips saved from the last one I put this little video together. This song has always given me catradora feelings - please let me know if you enjoy!
i never liked soulmates. i think
it feels cheap, to some degree, if
there is someone or something out
there that picked you out and declared,
“this is the one. there is only
Them.”
-
i don’t want to love if it’s pre-
determined or foretold or in
any way guaranteed. i want
a mystery. i want to be
able to hope. i want to look at
you and say, “i am choosing this
on my own. i am the one who
decides to love on purpose, and
nobody told me to love you, and
nobody taught me how, and that
is the sublimity of it:
i love you because we are not
destined. i love the choice of you.”
no hate to canonically soulmate couples, some of my favourite fictional couples are, but honestly i love the idea that you find someone and care about them and decide to love them and make it work much more romantic then being 'destined' to be with 'the one'
also i wrote this poem down years ago and i cannot find it anywhere online if anyone knows the author please tell me!
