The Love Not Meant For Her

What do you do when you fall in love with someone meant for a different life?

Aryana Rose told a story at The Moth’s Houston StorySLAM in 2015, but I just came across it when a friend shared The Moth’s Instagram Reel of her performance last week.

My world stopped.

By the end of it I found myself just lying in my bed, crying.

I watched it two more times, and cried two more times.

This is one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever heard.

This is what it means to be more soul than human.

I can’t stop thinking about this.

Below, the video, and below that, my transcription of it. I just wanted to type the words out to see what typing them felt like, then felt I should share with you.

Enjoy…
