“I would like to apologize to my soulmate since you have been trying to find me but clearly are having some trouble.”
Our culture talks about finding the “one” or “soulmate” but what if you are divorced? Does this mean you married the wrong one and will never have love again? Does someone else become the one?
Or what if your spouse passes away? Did you marry the “one” and now you have to settle for the “second?”
I don’t believe there is one soulmate for everyone and you have to figure out who that is because if you don’t then you will never have a truly fulfilled life. Really?
You expect an 18-20 year old to make the right choice and pick the perfect person for them? I don’t know about you but I was not the most mature or wise person at that age.
Besides that is a lot of pressure to put on a relationship. How do you determine if they are the one? If you do decide to get together, at the first sign of trouble you may begin to think, “Well, this would never happen with my true soulmate.”
The best advice I have heard on this topic is, “Be the one someone would like to marry.”
Don’t spend your energy trying to find the magical unicorn of a one rather work on becoming the best version of yourself.
