“There are all kinds of love in this world, but never the same love twice. ” – F. Scott Fitzgerald
This quote really struck me. Love is something so powerful that when you find it, you never want to let it go. We all encounter and experience different relationships in our lifetime and each one is special in its own way. The way I love my friends is so different from the way I feel in a romantic relationship, but I still use the word “love” to categorize my feelings. I think that everyone we cherish in our lives holds a specific place in our hearts, and we dictate our actions towards them based off that place. You can come close to feeling the same love twice, but I do believe that we will never experience an identical love to one we have already known. When we move on from one love to the next, we hold with us memories of our past relationship. As hard as we may try, it’s almost impossible to not compare at least one aspect of this past love to the new one, and when we do this, we realize that the two loves will never be the same. I think I base this off the fact that no two people in this world are the same. If we all felt one universal feeling of “love”, it wouldn’t have the amazing power that it holds.
Do you think it’s possible to experience the same love twice?

Possible, if you’re Gary Oldman as Count Vlad… but then, that would be a most literal interpretation… :)
How beautiful is this photo?! The hands, the jewellery, the colour balance. Love it.
I believe the same way as you, about love and people. And whenever this topic arises, I always think of the movie Before Sunset. Julie Delpy there said this, “You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details.” So each person is unique and so is love. And this one’s a freeing thought so as not to expect the exact same feeling all over again with different people. Cheers! ♥♥♥
awesome post! this outlook really helps as i try to move on from an old love to fully appreciate the one i now have.
Never same love twice!
For me this means that every past love was still love. When you fall in love and wonder if the last time you loved was really love because this time feels so amazing, this says that yes it was love and this time is love because you never love the same way, twice!
For me it’s very profound.

I think it was the first love you had…. because it was the special one….
Genuinely such an amazing statement and I agree with it so much!
Thank goodness not. This love, the one you’re experiencing now, would be diminished by having to be compared. This is IT. This one. Like no other. The object of your passion was never here before. You, this you, this now, was never here before. Everything that came before, as the world prepared itself, shuffling all elements just to be ready for this love.
