I know it’s not true for everyone, some do end up alone. Not by choice, but simply because their life wasn’t so fortunate. Anyone if they found the right person, would prefer that company in life.

You can achieve a great many things by yourself and live a fulfilled life, sure, but that is never anyone’s first choice. It’s a concession we make when we realize certain things just weren’t meant for our lifetime.

If you believe in reincarnation, your soulmate might be a pet or an animal. I know some people that have 'deep connections' to their musical instruments.

It's not always a loved one...and I don't believe that it has to be a romantic thing either.

For me, as an example, I have a lovely Fiancé but I know that my soulmate is my best friend.

You still have a lot of worth.

Beautifully stated. I would only add that even soul-mates don't necessarily fill every chink, imho. I had a soul mate for 43 years until I lost her to cancer. We fit each other like hand and glove, complemented each other's strengths and weaknesses so well that our parents remarked about how we communicated with each other without saying a word. We had a solid, supportive partnership in every aspect of life. But that didn't mean we necessarily we scratched every itch or didn't have disagreements, but we worked them out.

After her death I had another partner, now deceased as well. Different as could be; different experiences, which I treasure and do not regret in anyway. But I would never consider her a soul-mate.

You have a good way of thinking about it. I like to simplify it further and say life is like sitting on a roller coaster, you have no idea what path it will take, but you know there will always be bumps and curves along the way, and it always ends at the beginning (ashes to ashes).
Maybe your soulmate is right in front of you and you can't see them, or maybe they are standing on the other side of the pillar and the meetup just never happens.

Merci beaucoup for taking the time to write and post these thoughtful (very) musings about soulmates and the lack thereof. 👏

Your final paragraph sums it all up quite nicely: "To anyone who feels they might not have a soulmate: You’re still whole, still worthy, and still capable of living a beautiful, meaningful life." 👏👏

It's also so good to see you posting here again after a long hiatus. 👏👏👏

JRVanguard · 26-30, M

Agreed
Hope you find what makes you feel whole 🤗

Beautifully stated . . . . and true. Thanks for sharing.

There is a book titled "Party of One" by Anneli Rufus which may offer additional insights on this if you are interested.

I’m sure a soulmate is just situational, so is happiness. We won’t be happy if we’re not in the right situation or place. There is more than one person out there for everyone but again we won’t find them if we’re not in the right place.

It's hard for you to meet the right person at the perfectly right time but there are people out there who can complete you and you can complete them but you're only find one or two in a lifetime

This meant a lot to me. I realised it years ago and I still fight against the tide. I know I’ve lost, but forlornly I try to swim out into an ocean that has rejected me.

I resonate with this in a way I want to tell you soon, if you'd still be interested. At the moment I'm too sleepy to find the words.

Soul mates are made and not born. Most end up with soulmate made by someone else

You know, it's sad to belong to someone else when the right one comes along...

I honestly do not believe anyone has a soulmate. So I fall more in line with carving your own path and building your own connections.

Zonuss · 41-45, M

I believe everyone has a soulmate
But that doesn't mean you will marry or meet them in your lifetime. But at birth there is the one person you were assigned to be with. ⭐

I think it's more of nature telling us that we are incomplete with that special someone
