Maybe Your Soulmate Is Your Best Friend, NOT Your Significant Other

And not your significant other.

Maybe Your Soulmate Is Your Best Friend, NOT Your Significant Other
Olivia Jacques

Everyone wants to find their soulmate. Someone to spend the rest of their life with. Someone to always have and be able to confide in. Many people search for this in a significant other. Many people believe you're supposed to marry your soulmate and be with them forever.

I only believe in one soulmate. Some people think you can have multiple, but I believe that there is only one person out there who is truly meant for you, the true love of your life.

But what if your soulmate isn't a significant other? Maybe you aren't supposed to marry your soulmate, but your soulmate is just the person who is always there for you. The person who has your back and supports you 24/7.

Maybe your soulmate is your best friend.

Think about it. Your best friend is always there for you. They never leave you. They love you in a way no one does. Yes, your significant other can be your best friend too, but I'm talking about your girly pops or your boys. The people who have been there before your significant other and the people that will be there long after you and your significant other don't work out.

Maybe your soulmates are your best friends you go to brunch with or have drinks with on random nights. The ones who've known you since childhood and the ones you'll still be friends with when you're 70.

Your best friends know you like no other. They see sides of you your parents, co-workers and even significant others don't see. And they are still your best friends.

These people are your go-to. They're your speed dial, the ones you tell good news, the ones who support you and your shoulder to cry on.

So why can't your besties be your soulmates? Because you aren't intimate? So? That's not what it's always about. These people are always there for you. So maybe your best friends are your soulmates.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
