In this life, we each encounter different types of love. Over time, people come and go, and we go through many ups and downs, but we always manage to move on.
It is said that we only fall in love with three types of people throughout our lives, and each has a very specific purpose.
Every one of us has three loves in a lifetime, and these loves assume a vital part in our lives.
1. Love from fairy tales I grew up with a saw and heard about this kind of love in stories about princes and princesses who “lived happily ever after.” It’s the kind of love we thought would be easy to have.
You were shown by this love how difficult it can be to act like someone else.
Even though it was what society would consider “a good relationship,” it wasn’t for you.
Because everything you saw and heard about it seemed to finally be yours, you thought this would be your one true love.
2. Toxic love The most challenging of all is toxic love. one that is very different from love in fairy tales.
Even though it is extremely painful, this kind of love teaches you more about yourself than you would like to see.
In the unhealthy cycles of toxic love, lies, manipulation, and drama are key points that appear to keep you in a situation from which you feel like you can’t get out.
What’s more, you figure things will change, that perhaps it will be OK…
