Her love for Stefan was not real, it was a mystical connection between two doppelgängers,this is discussed in the fifth season. And love for Damon is real, it is not inspired by anything, it is true because it is her conscious choice
He’s a man that has the whole package which makes him irresistible sex appeal in truck loads tall dark and handsome steel blue grey eyes a great sense of humour and empathy. Where has he been all my life ❤❤❤❤. You can see the passion these to have on screen.
I love ❤❤ how when they met the first time he didn’t need time like stefan to figure out she’s not katherine or anything like her and he truly wants her to get everything she wants out of life and it turns out that he is the one to give her exactly that he accepted her 💯 never tried to change her not even when she became a vamp or human he just wanted her to be happy and she saw he’s flaws and accepted them as well and still fell in love with him more than once at her own pace she even said she can’t stop loving him they broke that ( doppelgängers always end up together) elena & damon are real not just because the universe demands it ❤ also when she talks about damon to matt she tells him that damon just snuck up on her and she can’t shake him off and matt tells her ( i don’t think you can’t ever shake them off once they get under your skin ) even caroline mentioned it to elena and she says that she always finds her way back to him to damon and he was the one that made her be okay with being a vamp forever because she knew that he would always be with her and in their rain kiss she asked him ( promise me this is forever) and that she can have eternal love with him also before she gets damon’s and her memories compelled she says that she will forever have a whole in her chest where he’s supposed to be and can’t think of continuing being a vamp without him without her soulmate 😢😢❤️🩹
