To My Future Self: What Love Has Taught Me ｡:.ﾟஐ⋆*

When we fall in love,
it may seem like we are only looking at the "now,"
but in truth,
we are moving forward while embracing
both the past and the future.

The loves that didn't work out and the feelings we can't forget.
Those events from back then are not just memories,
but precious moments that have shaped
the form of your love.

Amidst the misunderstandings and the pain,
you truly came to know
what you really wanted
and what kind of relationship you desired.

And now, if there is someone you are drawn to,
that feeling is not a coincidence,
but the result of your past experiences and your heart's preparation overlapping.

A sense of security and an atmosphere where you can be yourself.
That is a sign that somewhere in your souls,
you are resonating with each other,
and at the same time, it is compatibility in reality.

Love cannot last on excitement alone.
But it is precisely because of that excitement that it begins.

When you can cherish both,
a connection will grow effortlessly.

And your future love
lies on the extension of who you are now.

The more you make choices that cherish yourself,
the more naturally you will choose relationships that don't force you to compromise.

You don't have to chase.
You don't have to stretch yourself thin.

To you, who have returned to yourself,
only connections where souls resonate will quietly overlap.

The past taught you love,
the present tests that love,
and the future is the place where you receive that love.

Everything is connected,
and not a single love is wasted.

So today, too,
make choices that soften your heart.

Beyond that, a warm love is waiting.

*⋆A Whisper from Witch chichi｡:.ﾟஐ⋆*
Love is not something you search for,
but something that quietly appears
when you have returned to yourself.
