More than soulmates being real, it's just a matter of both people liking each other enough to make things work. A lot of people just like the excitement of the courting phase and want to run when things become difficult.
I also believe that we make soulmates by choice and it’s not something that’s predestined.
Especially in India, where a lot of emphasis is given on arranged marriages, where most of the times, both of them don’t even know each other. Does that mean, they have lost their soulmates? No, they understand each other eventually and remain together forever. ✨
I believe that finding ‘the one’ can never be fulfilled in our lives.
As always, such a great topic and an even greater post to answer that. ♥️
I saw a really eye opening quote from a poet yesterday which resonates with this post ‘When you force someone to be yours and love you. When they just don’t, you prevent that person from being with their soulmate and oh, don’t forget you prevent yourself from being with yours.’ Like sometimes we really do try to play with our fate in the name of reckless love 🥹
thank you for your piece, i totally agree. someone i deeply admire once said the worst thing you can do with your life is to spend it with the wrong person and it has stuck with me every time i go on a date or meet someone
What a gorgeous read, I love your perspective on this. My unsolicited comment would be that I married a man who grew up in Amarillo, Tx. I’m from a village in Ohio. And, upon meeting him, I told my best friend that I’d marry him. That was five years before we dated or even orbited around one another. Then again, I’m a writer - so I totally see this “made to be” option too.

So true, Janani. ✨

This was a nice read!
As someone who is married, I can confidently say that people tend to choose partners who share familiar values if not cultural backgrounds.
i love this, so so so so so much. truly literal thoughts of mine into words on the screen. SO GOOD.

I loved this Janu! I love how you are able to write both so realistically and so optimistically 🩷
