What It Really Means To Fall In Love With Someone’s Soul
It’s easy to fall in love with what’s on the outside. It’s easy to fall in love with the idea of being in love or with someone’s personality. It’s easy to fall in love when everything’s beautiful and perfect. The real challenge is falling in love with someone for the very essence of their soul.
When you fall for their soul, you fall for even the darkest parts of it. You fall for the parts that are far from appealing to you. You fall for the darkest, most dismal parts of their soul. You fall for their demons, their trauma, their grief, and their brokenness. You fall for their soul, even on days you don’t recognize them anymore as the person you once fell in love with, because you know that people are constantly evolving and nothing ever stays the same.
When you fall for their soul, you fall for their morals and values. You fall in love with what they believe in. You fall in love with their faith, in their love for God, in their ability to stay grounded in their principles even if the world is against them. You fall for their soul even in moments they struggle with their own belief system. You fall for their soul as you see their values and morals reflect what comprises their soul.
When you fall for their soul, you fall for the depth of who they are. Some people are composed of galaxies and constellations. Some people have the entire universe inside of them, and that’s what attracts you to them. Not all people have this kind of distinctive universal beauty inside of them. Not everyone has so much depth and substance within them. But if you’re in love with someone, you fall for the depth they contain within themselves. You want to dive into how their mind works just so you can unravel the mystery of their thoughts. You want to dwell in the sound of their laugh because it contains light. You want to dive into their heart just so you can understand their sadness and turn it into something stronger and invincible. When you fall for their soul, you love them exactly as they are, and for the raw version of being their true, authentic selves.
