I know one day Ill find the one, but until then, I will be my own soulmate.

Ten years later, I am not married and my life is far from perfect.

In fact, I am still a big fucking mess, but I am at peace with it.

I used to think that asoulmatewas someone somewhere out there in the world who was constructed to complete me.

But I am not a damn princess, and I live in the real world.

And in the real world, love is not that easy to find.

I have swum oceans trying to find my soulmate.

I have walked miles barefooted in treacherous forests in the quest to find my soulmate.

Then I came to the realization that my soulmate was not that far away from me.

After many heartbreaks and yearning to find the love of my life, Ive finally found it…

I am the love of my life.

I am my own soulmate.

The moment I stopped looking for my soulmate is the day I found it.

I found it within myself.

I dont have to be with a man to be happy and complete.

I dont have to be married by a certain age, either.

I know one day Ill find the one, but until then, I will be my own soulmate.

I am not less of a person because Im single.

It doesnt mean that I am lacking anything.

It doesnt mean that I am not enough.

It doesnt mean the time is running out and that I will end up alone.

It doesnt mean Im not worth loving.

You cant rush love.

Love just takes longer to find some people.

Some are lucky to have already found their soulmate and others, like me, are still patiently waiting.

I dont need to spend my time trying to find the one.

I have someone who loves me unconditionally and that someone isme.

I do want to get married one day.

I look forward to the day that I marry the man of my dreams.

I may not be in love, but I have learned to find love in many different ways.

Love does not only have to come from your significant other; love is everywhere.

Love resides within myself, my passions and the people I love.
