Tutte le storie damore sono li, come bombe pronte ad esplodere. Lanima gemella ce, e da qualche parte, non ve dubbio. Ma se e vicina, deve farsi avanti, rendersi disponibile. Se lo e solo geograficamente ma appartiene ad un mondo rarefatto e irraggiungibile, deve aprire gli occhi e acuire la vista. Se, poi, non e nemmeno vicina, la cosa diventa veramente difficile. E, allora, che si fa? Il piu delle volte niente, purtroppo. Il mondo e pieno di cerchi che non si chiuderanno mai. Di puzzle che non sincastreranno mai. Ma per Linda, Misaki e Virginia non andra cosi. Loro riusciranno ad incontrare lanima gemella. Non perche siano piu meritevoli o piu furbe di altre. Solo perche avranno la fortuna dincrociare le loro vite con quella di Ben, il nostro carissimo Babbo Natale. La miccia. Capiranno che il merito e suo? Chissa. Forse Alysia, una popstar che, come un pifferaio magico attira con le sue canzoni le tre ragazze a se, le aiutera a capire. E, lessere consapevoli di chi le abbia concretamente aiutate, le spingera anche ad essere piu leali. Una cosa che, in amore, almeno in amore, non guasta mai.

I never imagined that one day my own knowledge would imprison me in a path towards real love, towards finding the woman I could spend the rest of my life with. But, apparently, this is what happened.By following a more spiritual and uplifting lifestyle, I ended up encountering the ultimate challenge, which is to accept such truth with an open heart, in the least expected place I ever considered, a small city in the baltic region, named Vilnius.Thats where I would find her, the woman who captured my soul in a strong way through the most captivating eyes Ive ever seen.In this story, there is a path of self-discovery, but also the discovery of two soulmates. And only freewill could ever tell what each one would do with the experience of witnessing the confrontation of the similarities, fears and differences being mirrored at one another.Were we meant to live towards a common goal or simply hurt ourselves?Were we meant to be together forever or just experience love for a while?Was sex the best we could offer to one another, or was there much more beyond that?I guess one day we can look back at what happened and answer these questions with more clarity.For now, I cant say it hasnt been, at the very least, intense.

Mas aparentemente, foi o que aconteceu.Seguindo um caminho mais espiritual e edificante na vida, acabei encontrando o desafio final no aceitar essa verdade com um coraço aberto no lugar mais inesperado que ja considerei uma pequena cidade na regio baltica, chamada Vilnius. E onde encontraria, a mulher que capturou minha alma de forma forte atraves dos olhos mais cativantes que ja vi.Nesta historia, existe um caminho de autodescoberta, mas tambem a descoberta de duas almas gemeas, e so o livre arbitrio poderia dizer o que cada um de nos faria com a experiencia de testemunhar o confronto das semelhanças, medos e diferenças.Iriamos viver em direço a um objetivo comum ou simplesmente sofrer?Deveriamos estar juntos para sempre ou apenas experimentar o amor por um tempo?O sexo era o melhor que podiamos oferecer um ao outro, ou existiria muito mais?Acredito que um dia podemos olhar para o que aconteceu e responder essas perguntas com mais clareza.No posso dizer que no tenha sido, no minimo, muito intenso.
