You know I've been hearing about the term "soulmate" for the longest time, and I couldn't relate much to it so whenever I hear people calling their friends "soulmates", I'd just simply roll my eyes at them..
Not until I found mine.
It's just like how some people say they've found "The One" in their life, and the feeling just can't be described. It's funny how I met S a year ago in Zouk, and she was just a friend's friend back then. That was the last time I met her until I went back to SG recently for a short holiday. Got the girls to come out for a Ladies' night, and Justina got Sher & Shuyu to come along. & that's when I met S again. We started texting each other random stuff and I thought hey it's really good to know a new friend like that and spending time with new people around me.
Until one day, we've decided to get into some serious HTHT over WA, and that's when we realize that we're so similar. In terms of past relationships, what we think, what we want to do and everything else that you can imagine, we're just so similar. It's like I found myself living in another body. & I tell you, that's one of the best feeling in the world.
I can tell her anything without getting judged. True, I have my best friends around, all the other people who understands me, but not everyone feels me the way she does. When I say something, she'll agree and even say that she did the same stuff before. & the best thing is, she'll encourage me to go after whatever I want to. Sometimes when we share things with people, what's troubling us and all that jazz, we just need a little assurance that we're normal and whatever that we want to do is not absurd. It's just because our life experiences are so similar, coupled with the fact that we have almost the same character and way of thinking, that I seek comfort in our conversations. Whenever I tell her something, it's not as if I need advice, I just need to rant it out. And she'll share with me her exact same experience which makes me feel like "Omg so I'm not the crazy one", and it feels so good to have someone who thinks the same way as you do.
So I'm going to end off with this picture that S sent to me, which is exactly what I'm driving at. A soulmate need not be someone of the opposite sex, nor must it be your best friend or your partner. He/she is just someone that you really could connect with, without saying much and they understand you inside out.
For that, I'm thankful. You're god-sent as well to me, and I'm so grateful that I went back this holiday to find someone that's so similar to me.
Ask me anything:
