You feel with your whole soul. But what's the difference between Regina and her mother or Graham? Why do Cora fail to feel love? Why is Regina able to do so? What does soul mean? Time-travel spells require, a resilient heart. No matter how much life has thrown at Regina, she has always come out stronger. Besides, the connection she feels towards Robin Hood, seems to come from her soul. He is always referred to, as her soulmate.

Yeah, you're right, she's a very resilent person.

Do you think there's a difference between the terms 'soulmate' and 'true love'? At first I thought, there's no difference but now I'm not sure. Because Regina's true love Daniel is dead and I have the feeling that using Pixie dust back then when he was still alive would have pointed towards Daniel.

Deaths are inevitable events, aren't they? (inevitable like the fact that Bae lost his father, despite what Rumple choose to do in 214) Turning back the time (if Zelena succeeds) can't change that, I think.That means Daniel and Marian would both end up dead ? I mean, if Daniel would be still alive then Regina would be happy and there would be no need for another soulmate for Regina?

Same for Marian and Robin. After all, a ballad was written about the love story between the two of them. If she hadn't died there's no need he finds Regina) Still, Robin was sitting alone in the tavern (303 -  at least I can't see a woman near him and Tink keeps insisting that Regina ruined Robin's life)

There are two important reasons why Robin and Regina understand each other so well are

- they both know what it means to put your child's needs before your own needs

- they both lost a loved one.
