HOT TAKE but i dont think soulmates are real.
i think hopeless romantics idolize the idea, bc it gives them hope that someone is out there for them
but this is wishful thinking that makes them ignore red flags & makes them easier to manipulate
I think it’s worse. Soulmates ARE real, but you won’t really be that compatible forever most likely. Bad things can happen that just will change them forever. Who they are will change. This happened to me and I fucking hate it.
