Think aloud
How many times have you thought that you had met your soulmate? And how many times did it turn out that you were wrong and that person was nothing more than a lesson?
We go through life looking for that special someone; a person who’s going to understand us the best and stick with us through thick and thin. Often, you fall in love with a person only to realize that you two aren’t meant to stay together. So, you go back on the dating scene, looking for that special someone.
In the process, you meet a ton of people. Some of them feel wrong for you from the start, while others feel worthy of giving a chance. But in the end, it all comes back to waiting for that one person who’s destined to be yours.
We hear stories about couples who used to date back in time and ended up breaking up because they thought that their relationship could never work. Then, years later, they meet by accident, fall in love again, and spend the rest of their lives together.
But is this really the case? Is it true that you’ll come across the person who’s meant to be yours, no matter the history you share?
Well, there’s a legend that states that those who are meant to be together are tied by a red string. They go through life unaware that each step they take is getting them closer to their soulmate.
This legend talks about a boy who met a man who was reading a book about marriages. The old man showed this boy a girl that he was supposed to marry, but being as young as he was, the boy didn’t like the idea of marriage. So, he took a rock and hit a girl with it.
Years passed and the boy forgot about this incident. When he was a young man, his parents planned to marry him. It was an arranged marriage, and the young man had no idea who his bride was.
As he took off her veil, he realized that she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. He also spotted a scar on her eyebrow, but when he asked her about it, he couldn’t be more surprised.
A young woman explained to him that when she was a little girl, a boy threw a rock at her. This left a scar on her face.
The man was stunned. He knew that he had done this to her, and even though he ran away from her back in time, she still found her way to him.
The two of them were meant to be together before they even knew it. Their destiny had been written, and there was not much they could do to change it.
Sure, they could make some different decisions, even leave the town or their home country. But the truth is that they would still reach each other sooner or later. Because those who are meant to be together will always find each other.
No matter what they do and where life takes them, they will still cross each other’s paths. They will knock on each other’s doors with a smile, happy that they have finally found the one they have been looking for.
So, whenever you get this feeling that you’ll never find your soulmate, take a deep breath and think of the story of a boy and a girl. Whenever you feel like you’ve lost the one who’s meant to be yours, be patient and wait for the rest of your life to unfold right in front of you.
Sometimes, the decisions we make can seem wrong. We often blame ourselves for not acting differently, but in the end, everything fits right where it’s supposed to.
If it’s meant to be, you’ll get back together with your first love. On the other hand, if it’s not meant to be, you’ll break up with your current partner, even though you currently feel that you can’t love anyone the way you love him.
Life has its own way of showing us how things are supposed to be. As you get impatient and convince yourself that you’ll never meet your soulmate, there’s a huge chance that they’re waiting for you right behind the corner. You just have to take a couple of steps in the right direction, and they’ll be there.
Maybe your heart has been broken many times in the past. Maybe you’ve met all these people and didn’t feel compatible with any of them. At this point, maybe you no longer believe in love after everything you’ve been through.
But just because you feel that way, it doesn’t mean that you won’t ever meet your soulmate. The string that keeps you attached is stretchy. It adjusts to your actions and waits for the perfect moment when you’ll finally get to meet the one who’s meant to be yours.
In the beginning, you probably won’t even realize that you’ll stay forever with that person. You may think of them as a passing station and nothing more than that.
But sooner or later, you’ll start to see things for what they actually are. You’ll realize that the person in front of you is the one you’ve been looking for your whole life. It’s the one that’s meant to help you realize why things didn’t work out with anyone before.
So, if you’re still looking for your soulmate, hold on a little bit more. Remind yourself that you wear an invisible string around your finger that stretches out to someone else. The two of you will meet eventually and everything will be as you always wanted it to be.
All the chase and the search will be over, and you’ll be happy for all the experiences that brought you to where you are right now.
The point is that you shouldn’t give up because the right person will find you sooner or later. If you’re meant to be together, you’ll cross each other’s paths and it will all make sense.
All the tears you cried, all the sleepless nights, and all the moments when you felt that there was no point in trying. These times will pass, and you’ll meet the one you have been looking for your whole life. When that happens, you’ll be the happiest person alive.
You’ll finally appreciate each experience that brought you here because you’ll know that things had to happen that way. You’ll know that the road was supposed to be bumpy and curvy and that you had to pass it if you wanted to reach the final destination.
Your forever love could be waiting for you just around the corner, so pick yourself up and keep on moving. The string between you two isn’t broken and it never will be. As a matter of fact, if you’re meant to be together, then the tie between you will be the only thing that others won’t be able to tear apart.
I know that you’re tired of everything, but you have to keep believing that what’s meant to be yours will come to you. It may not happen in the way you planned it to, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth the wait.
