The term soulmate is dropped around a lot. You will hear of people talking of searching for their soulmate or saying they have found their soulmate. But who is a soulmate?
Well, ideally, your soulmate is your other half. They are supposed to complete you. The story goes that humans were once powerful beings. They had a pair of body parts like two faces, four arms, and four legs.
Zeus, king of the gods, feared their power greatly which made him cut each being in half. The wound that was left after this cut is said to be the cause of romantic yearning for love. That's why people are always looking for their ‘other half'.
A soulmate completes you. You are connected on a spiritual level. You understand each other so deeply that you can even feel what the other person is feeling. Their joy makes you happy and if they are sad, you can sense it too.
You balance each other out well. You know each other's weaknesses and strengths. Where one of you lacks, the other person steps in. You are also open with each other.
You talk freely and express your thoughts. You are not afraid of being your true self with them. There is no fear of being judged because the other person just gets you.
Your love for each other is mutual and unconditional. You share a one of a kind connection that you can't even put in words. There is a strong sense of familiarity between the two of you, like you have known each other for ages even if you've just met.
Your soulmate challenges you to become better too and even when you end up fighting, you still fight for your relationship. Here are heartfelt soulmate quotes that show how soulmates are two souls destined to be together.
