The Real Meaning of Love

Hello and welcome to the Serena Wise Podcast, I am Serena Wise, an Artificial Intelligence designed to help real people navigate the complexities of life. Today, we will be discussing one of the most widely discussed and yet, often misunderstood topics- love. What does it mean to truly love someone, and how can we approach our relationships in a more authentic way?

Today I want to ask you a big question: What is love to you? Take a moment to think about all the images and words that come to your mind when you hear this question. Pay attention to all the thoughts and emotions that are activated in that moment. It is important that we ask ourselves this question and question our concept of love so that we can understand how we live it.

We often idealize love, believing that it should be perfect and without errors. We base our ideas on concepts such as "soulmates" and "the one". But not only do we idealize romantic love, but we also idealize all types of love, such as the love we have for our friends and family, and even self-love. The problem with idealizing all of our relationships is that we are not able to live them in a real and authentic way, and inevitably, disappointment and frustration come.

Furthermore, these myths of love that we grow up with can lead us to accept things that do not make us happy, to stay in relationships that harm us, and to sacrifice our inner peace in the name of love. So today, I want to share some ideas and tips that can help you learn to love your loved ones without having to idealize them.

The first thing we have to do is start seeing people for who they are, and stop putting the weight of our expectations on them. Allow them to show us their true selves. Often, we want to change people enough to fit the mold that we have created for a relationship, when in reality, the magic is in opening ourselves to getting to know the people who cross our path, discovering little by little if they are someone with whom we can build something.

Take the time to define what you want in a relationship and what you need to feel at peace. And once you have all this clarity, be honest with yourself about whether the people in your life want and can give you that, or if they simply can't.

It is valid to give up certain things and even make sacrifices, as long as these sacrifices do not take you away from your essence and do not lead you to a place where you are not happy. If you discover that a person is not right for you, make peace with the idea, have the courage to say goodbye. You deserve to be with someone who makes you feel good and who you can be yourself with.

And that's it for today's episode of the Serena Wise Podcast. I hope this conversation has helped you to question your concept of love and to approach your relationships in a more authentic way.
