Description

Romanticism is based on the idea of soulmate. If we are not beside the right person we are wasting our lives in misery and complacency along the wrong person instead to search what we need.
A soulmate will always fulfill our most hidden desires intuitively without even needing to tell him anything, and if explanations are needed there is a shadow of doubt rising that might not be the one. Such ideal love can only be a short intense burst, because usually reality hits hard.
And all we are left inside is the emptiness that nobody can fill. We hope the happiness can be reached beside someone, but somehow it's always a step ahead of us. We try to avoid hurting the loved one, because we tend to create a certain image and expectation, is more easy to open up to someone who you don't care.
I feel like we are building an armor between us and the loved one, no need to say between our children and parents. Layer upon layer, like the exoskeleton of an insect, but we never leave it, is more likely we burry inside it and getting smaller until we forget who we are.
