there’s just something about the belief that there’s someone (or some people) out there in the vast universe that your soul is intertwined with. hence why i find the concept of soulmates absolutely electrifying.

the thing is… souls are ancient. we all have lived past lives that we don’t remember, some tragic and maybe some happy. our corporeal bodies are like a home our souls inhabit for a fleeting moment, because our lifetime is just a blip in the span of a soul. but it’s finally at rest when you choose your soulmate, like how you have time and time again.

everyone has this assumption that fate has chose one (1) person that we are meant to spend the rest of our lives with, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. i’d like to think that fate only plays a small role: a small nudge in the right direction, but no hand-holding, no direct guidance to those whose souls yours rest with.

because soulmates are still about a choice. you choose the same person in every timeline and every life because they are home to you. which is often why you don’t realize at first sight — it’s still about falling in love and still about choosing each other. (another reason why soulmates are not two halves of one soul. it’s the union of two who search for each other, always.)

and they’re not always romantic.

that’s why i think soulmates are so beautiful. the slow realization that that’s someone you want to spend the rest of your life with because every version of your soul has done so previously.
