AES113 Soulmates?
A soulmate is a concept that I've always been confused about, I always thought it was impossible that one person is made for another person. The whole thing just felt like a fantasy, an imagination. Altho this point of view on soulmates or relationships is very understandable for my younger self since I grew up looking at people getting through divorces, breaking up, and going against one another. Even the thought of myself being in a romantic relationship is me, but I had to live in this reality where everyone told me that for sure there is someone out there made for me. The idea that someone is made for me is confusing for me because it deletes the sense of control that I have over my relationship. Basically, the whole idea never sat right with me.
My perspective started to shift when I redefined what is a soulmate. I personally think a person that is a soulmate is a person that can make you the most you and the better you. It's a person that can bring out the best in you and genuinely care for you. And you can have multiple soulmates in your life according to what phase are you going through and what kinda person is best suitable to be there for you at that moment. Your soulmate can be a friend, a best friend, a family member, a mentor figure, or a romantic partner.
I've had a lot of thinking and processing to do so I can delete that ick I have for romantic relationships. I think I finally saw the light in it when I actually encountered couples who are great for each other and they’re not toxic and they’re happy being together. I was like “wait, that actually exists?”
I think the point here is that I find it very important to put our intention in our social interactions, embrace ourselves, and appreciate others. Because sometimes others don’t know how much they mean to us, and we never know how much we could mean to others.
