reincarnated love trope
does anyone find it kind of silly?
idk I just find it stupid, so what you loved me in a past life, what does that have to do with me now?

I ESPECIALLY hate this when the reincarnation is boring a......

Yeah the reincarnated lovers trope assumes that all reincarnated "souls" have the same personality/essence, so reincarnated you is still you. Some find it romantic that the reincarnated people can find each other again despite being in a completely different world/situation.
On the other side of the coin, one could say that your personality likel......

the core (soul) remains same through all reincarnations though, and it tints each new one with your uniqueness.
that being said i don't fuck with all this whole twin flames thing. tf believers almost always say stuff like there is only one person(soul) that can make you truly happy... and that's toxic bullshit 100%
