Do you think you’ve ever been in love?
I don’t.
I love my family. I still love my dad and Grandad even though they're gone. I love my best friends. But that’s it.
I’ve never loved anyone else. Never a boyfriend.
What does it feel like?
What does it feel like to have someone there? It surely must be different to anything I’ve felt before.
Why would thousands of people write songs, movies, and books about it if it wasn’t different, if it didn’t feel different.
Does a soulmate love feel different to other romantic love? I feel like it doesn't. You feel the love the same as if they were your soulmate, why would people do it otherwise?
Maybe that’s a silly observation. Maybe people fall for people who aren’t their soulmates because they don’t want to search for a love like that. Is it less pressure to love someone else? To just love someone because you can, because you do love them?
I sometimes wonder what it would be like to not have that internalised pressure. To let myself just love because I can. But I don’t know how, maybe I’ve never met someone who made me think it was worth it to give up on looking. Or maybe I just don’t know how to love right.
Will I be able to love my soulmate?
