This short explains how love works

Love comes without warning. First in a euphoric way, creating ideals and expectations. Later, after returning to reality, he decides whether to stay with you or, on the contrary, leave.

This is love, capricious in its beginnings, confusing during its growth but protective, warm and safe when it is built from trust., communication, respect, authenticity and affection. In fact, if its pillars are not these, love can wander between dependency, abuse or contempt, as we can see in the short film that you can see at the end of this article.

The dangerous love

One day you suddenly discover yourself in love. Without knowing how or why, your thoughts have begun to revolve around a person that little by little you have come to see as special, unique and different.

It’s not just his smile, his gestures or the way he looks at you. Nor is how you express yourself or what skills and values ​​you have, it’s all at once. The curious thing is that, just as for us it has that special charm, for the rest of the people that someone we admire is within “normality”.

But beware! Falling in love also has its negative side: self-deception. When we fall in love it is as if we cast a long cloak that covers the imperfections of the person we are attracted to. making them totally invisible to our eyes. In this way, the image that we see of the other is an ideal that over time we will dismantle.

Thus, when this magical cloak begins to disappear, we face a real challenge: discovering the reality of the other person. Moment in which we can decide whether to continue sharing our journey with her or, on the contrary, not to do so.

The relationship is a construction of two

A relationship is maintained by the efforts of its participants just as the success of a couple of dancers is reflected in their training, intended for their performance to shine on stage. That’s why, If we let our relationship adrift it will probably end up being lost in an ocean of reluctance, uncertainty and inertia.

But it is not worth it for only one of the members of the couple to take charge, since love requires two for it to bear fruit. If only one part does its job, just as in dancing, harmony will not appear and will inevitably be noticed in the coordination of its participants. Something like this happens with our characters, the carelessness and lack of concern on his part generate dissatisfied feelings, reproaches and disappointment.

Love or depend

Under the force of falling in love we can fall into dependence. As? Our character in the short shows us this: giving his heart and the other person accepting it. By depending we stop being ourselves, leaving the leading role to a new person: the imaginary one that the other wants us to be.

This way, When you decide to end the relationship, you are left at the mercy of the suffering and pain generated by the breakup. An emptiness appears that can lead us towards self-devaluation maintained by the belief that we are unworthy of love.

If we do not accept this emptiness, it can build stone walls that will make future encounters impossible. That is why it is so important to carry out the grieving process after the loss of a partner: to recover and renew ourselves with the learnings of that relationship.

Someone may also appear who patiently destroys our wall stone by stone and teaches us that full love is based on respect for the intimacy of the other and on sharing, as happens at the end of the short to our character. The support of another person helps you get over a breakup, it can even clarify your darkness: it’s up to you if you want to move forward and get out of it.

The consolidation of love

If we have finally decided to walk with the other person, it is important that we keep alive the idea that love is not a passive feeling, but that it is fed by our actions. Love is like a garden that must be watered day after day.

Authentic love is not nourished by making the other in our image and likeness, but by sincere acceptance and knowledge of the other person. Love is the brightness that is born from two hearts that have voluntarily decided to love and understand each other.

Where each one has the key to open the other’s locks and where, for that reason, complicity grows; enlarging in such a way that an emotional atmosphere is created that serves as an insulator due to the only language that is spoken: that of feelings and hearts.

Each human relationship is a world in itself that is born from the meeting of other worlds. The direction each one takes will depend on its leaders and the type of hope they harbor in it. In this sense, “The Gift” is a short film that serves as a metaphor to understand some fundamental aspects of how love works. We leave you with him:
