What Is a Soulmate? The Truth No One Tells You

 

Do You Really Know What a Soulmate Is?

When people hear the word “soulmate,” they often paint a picture in their minds—someone who walks into your life like magic, changes everything for the better, fills every void, and makes you feel loved unconditionally.

They think a soulmate is:

• Someone who understands them without words.
• Someone who never hurts them.
• Someone who completes them.
• Someone who stays forever, no matter what.

But this is where most people get it wrong.

Because a soulmate is not just a soft touch on your wounds. A soulmate is a storm. A soulmate is a fire. A soulmate is both the knife that cuts you open and the hands that stitch you back together. They don’t exist to make you comfortable. They exist to make you more.

Soulmates Don’t Just Love You—They Transform You

People say, “She left because she found someone better.”
People say, “He fell out of love.”
People say, “She changed.”

But do they ever ask why?

Did she leave because she never loved you? Or did she leave because she saw the fire in you, but you refused to let it burn?

A soulmate does not settle for half of you. They will look at you and say:
“I know there is more inside you. I can see it. I can feel it. Why aren’t you unleashing it?”

They will push you, they will challenge you, they will shake your soul until you rise into the greatness they see in you.

And if you don’t rise—if you stay stagnant, if you ignore their guidance, if you choose to live below your potential—they will leave. Not because they stopped loving you, but because they love you too much to watch you shrink.

Love Is Not Just About Being Together—It’s About Growing Together

Love is not just “I love you.” Love is listening. Love is action. Love is choosing to grow together, every single day.

Have you ever seen a couple that has been together for 30, 40, 50 years? Do you think they just stayed together because it was easy? Because there was never any conflict? No. They stayed together because they kept choosing each other. They kept choosing to evolve together, to listen, to adapt, to put in the work.

Because that’s what a soulmate does. They don’t just say, “I love you.” They say,
“I love you, and I will grow with you, even when it’s hard.”

A Soulmate Will See You More Clearly Than You See Yourself

There are parts of you that you don’t even recognize—your hidden fears, your suppressed dreams, your untapped potential. But a soulmate?

They will see it. They will pull it out of you, whether you like it or not.

• If you are playing small, they will push you to be big.
• If you are settling, they will remind you that you deserve more.
• If you are losing yourself, they will shake you awake.

A soulmate is not always gentle. They will hurt you, not because they want to, but because sometimes truth hurts. They will tell you things no one else dares to say, and you will hate them for it.

“Why can’t you just accept me the way I am?”
Because they know you are meant to be more.

“Why do you keep pushing me?”
Because they refuse to let you live a life smaller than the one you deserve.

And if you can’t see what they see—if you refuse to rise—then they will let you go.

Because a soulmate doesn’t love you for who you are today. They love you for who you have the potential to become.

The Reason People Lose Their Soulmates

Do you know why people lose their soulmates?

It’s not because “someone better” came along.
It’s not because “love faded.”
It’s not because “things got hard.”

It’s because one of them stopped growing.

One of them stopped listening.
One of them stopped fighting for the vision they once had together.
One of them became too comfortable, too stagnant, too afraid to evolve.

And a soulmate cannot stay where there is no movement. They are water, fire, air, storm, destruction, creation. They cannot live in stillness.

So they leave. And they find someone who is ready.

Soulmates Are Not Just Lovers—They Are Mirrors

A soulmate will show you:

• Your power—the kind you don’t even know you have.
• Your fears—the ones you refuse to face.
• Your truth—the one you keep running from.

They will stand before you like a mirror, reflecting every part of you. The beautiful. The broken. The brilliant. The buried.

And you will have two choices:
Face it. Or break the mirror.

If you face it—if you choose to grow, to evolve, to listen, to fight for the love that is bigger than just “romance”—then you will understand what a true soulmate is.

But if you break the mirror—if you refuse to see what they are showing you—then you will lose them. Not because they wanted to leave. But because a soulmate cannot stay where the soul refuses to awaken.

If You Have a Soulmate, Hold Them Tight

If you are lucky enough to have found a soulmate—someone who pushes you, who challenges you, who calls you out, who refuses to let you settle—hold them tight.

• Listen to them. They see things in you that you cannot see in yourself.
• Grow with them. Do not expect them to stay if you refuse to evolve.
• Love them boldly. Speak their love language. Say “I love you” like it’s the only thing that matters.
• Never stop choosing them. Every single day, wake up and ask, “What can I do to make this love stronger?”

Because soulmates? They are rare. They are not just found in every corner.

If you find one, cherish them. Because the greatest tragedy is not losing love—it’s losing the one love that was meant to make you more.

A Soulmate Sees You Before You See Yourself

A soulmate is not just someone who loves you. They see you—the real you, the parts you hide, the potential you don’t even believe in yet. They look at you and say, “Hey, you have something incredible inside you. Follow this path.”

They aren’t just lovers; they are guides, mirrors, catalysts. They tell you things others won’t because they don’t love you for your comfort zone. They love you for your becoming.

But here’s the thing—soulmates don’t just talk. They listen.

They don’t just tell you what to do; they listen when you tell them what you feel, what you fear, what you dream about in the dead of night when the world is asleep.

Listening Is Love. Listening Is Language.

Love isn’t just about being heard—it’s about being understood.

Imagine you have a group of friends, and among them, there’s someone your soulmate doesn’t like. She won’t tell you, “Stay away because I said so.” She’ll tell you, “I don’t like that person. Something about them doesn’t sit right with me.”

She isn’t being controlling. She isn’t trying to dictate your life.

It’s her intuition, her soul sensing something that your heart might be ignoring.

And a mature person doesn’t dismiss that. They pause. They think, “If this person, who wants the best for me, feels this way, maybe there’s something I haven’t noticed.”

That’s what a soulmate does. They aren’t there to control you; they are there to protect you. And you do the same for them.

Because love isn’t about individual paths—it’s about walking together.

The Little Things Are The Big Things

Love isn’t found in grand gestures. It’s in the smallest, quietest moments that most people overlook.

Take Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, for example. Their relationship is built on something that’s becoming rare—thoughtfulness.

Benny said in a podcast, “My first thought in the morning is what I can do to make Selena’s day better.”

Not how she can make him happy. Not what he can get from her.

But how he can give.

And Selena? She thinks the same way.

Do you see the magic in that?

Two people waking up, not thinking, “What can I take?” but “What can I give?”

That is love in its purest form. That is soulmate energy.

Because love isn’t just about being in a relationship. It’s about being in sync. It’s about two souls building, protecting, giving—without keeping score.

Saying “I Love You” Should Never Get Old

Some people think saying “I love you” too much is cringey. They say, “Why do you have to say it all the time? You already know I love you.”

But love isn’t something you assume. Love is something you express.

Saying “I love you” should feel as natural as breathing. It should be a daily ritual, not just a phrase but a language—spoken in words, in gestures, in every little moment.

Say “I love you” when they wake up.
Say “I love you” when they are stressed.
Say “I love you” even when they know it—especially when they know it.

Because one day, when you look back, you’ll realize it was never too much. It was always just enough.

The True Meaning of a Soulmate

A soulmate is not someone who just exists in your life.
A soulmate is someone who walks through life with you.

They see your soul. They push you to grow. They listen to you, protect you, challenge you, and love you—not just in the big moments, but in the everyday seconds that make life what it is.

And the people who have this—the ones who give without taking, who listen without controlling, who love without limits—are the ones who never regret.

Because at the end of the day, love isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about choosing each other, again and again and again.

Why Do Mosquitoes Love Me? A Rant on Blood Loss & Sleepless Nights (Life Lately)

 

Mosquitoes, Periods, and the War Against My Sanity

Life lately? Annoying. Agonizing. Pure chaos. And I blame three things: mosquitoes, periods, and the unbearable heat.

It’s that time of the month when my body decides to drain itself, and as if losing blood naturally wasn’t enough, these little flying vampires have taken it upon themselves to suck the remaining drops out of me.

A Personal Blood Donation Drive (Against My Will)

I mean, seriously. Why me? What is so special about my blood that mosquitoes are choosing me over the thousands of other humans in this world? I’ve tried everything—Neem oil, cloves with lemon, camphor, incense, mosquito-repellent sprays, those plug-in vaporizers, and even manually swatting them like a crazy person. Nothing works.

And let’s talk about that infuriating sound. That high-pitched, sleep-ruining, sanity-shattering “whhhhzzzhzhzhzhhhhh” right near my ears. Why do they have to announce their arrival? Just bite and leave! But no, they need to make sure I hear them, wake up, slap the air like a lunatic, and then get bitten anyway.

The Betrayal of the Mosquito Net

You’d think a mosquito net would save me, right? Wrong. These creatures have a PhD in infiltration. No matter how securely I tuck myself in, one or two elite warriors always find their way inside. And then the real horror begins. Ever tried trapping a mosquito inside a net with you? It’s a full-blown hostage situation, except I’m the one being tortured.

I can’t even write at night anymore. Nighttime is when my mind takes deep dives into thoughts, creativity flows, and words come alive. But no. Now, every time I try to focus, some annoying mosquito squad decides it’s dinner time. They bite me, make me itch, and in return, they sing me their horrible lullabies. I didn’t sign up for this kind of soundtrack!

Mosquito Negotiations: A Lost Cause

If only I could talk to mosquitoes, my life would be so much easier:

Me: “Mr. Mosquito, please spare me tonight. I’m already losing blood naturally, you don’t need to contribute to the process.” Mosquito: “Sorry, lady, I have a family to feed.”

Like, seriously?! I wish it worked that way. But no. They don’t negotiate, they don’t care. They take, they itch, and they leave. Rude.

Oh, And Let’s Not Forget the Heat!

To add insult to injury, let’s talk about the heatwave. 37°C at noon, 26-27°C at night. It’s like nature itself has decided to turn life into a challenge. The sun blazes all day, cooking everything alive, and at night, it’s just humid enough to make sure I stay hot, sweaty, and mosquito-friendly.

And I know what you’re thinking: “Just use a fan or AC.” Oh, I do. But guess what? Mosquitoes are now fan-resistant. These little demons fly against the wind like they’re in some action movie. Nothing stops them.

Periods, Pain, and Cravings (On Top of It All)

As if blood loss and mosquito terrorism weren’t enough, let’s not forget my dear old friend, period cramps. They come knocking on my uterus like an earthquake, making sure I stay in bed, curled up, questioning my existence. And the cravings? Through the roof.

One moment, I’m dying for chocolate. The next, I need spicy chips. Then suddenly, I want to eat a full meal even though I’m not hungry. But do I even have the energy to get up and satisfy them? No, because the mosquitoes have drained my last bit of willpower.

Oh, and let’s not forget the mood swings. One minute, I’m ready to cry over a sad Instagram reel; the next, I’m cursing the mosquitoes for simply existing. It’s a rollercoaster I never signed up for.

A New Plan: Writing at Noon

Since nights are now mosquito-infested nightmares, I’ve officially shifted my writing schedule to noon. Yes, in the scorching heat. Because at least then, mosquitoes are slightly less annoying.

Picture this: It’s 37°C, I’m sweating, my laptop keyboard is hot to the touch, and I’m typing aggressively about how much I hate mosquitoes. Peak productivity.

So see you all at noon—when I’ll be roasting under the sun, annoyed, but at least not getting bitten alive.

This Too Shall Pass… Right?

I keep telling myself, this will pass. The heat will go, the mosquitoes will disappear (hopefully into hell where they belong), and my periods will end for the month. Happy days will come again, or maybe I’ll just drag them into existence.

But for now? Let me just scream into the void and continue my unwanted blood donation drive.

Like, I’m not saying I’m the only one who’s feeling overwhelmed or the only one getting mosquito bites, but still, guys… WHY?! Why does it feel like they have a personal vendetta against me?

Tell me, have mosquitoes made your life miserable too? Or is it just me who’s their personal buffet? Drop your war stories in the comments because I know I’m not alone in this battle!
