Why do we need a soulmate? Lately many things are happening. One thing stalled my moment and I let it stall me. I met one guy(Can’t tell who. Confidentiality, you know) a while back. I wrote a story about him, and read the same story to him(in person). After that day, we close this chapter (mutually, ofcourse). After 4 months or so, He was trying to reachout to me(on call), but I have been avoiding as i don’t want to connect.
One fine day, I got one pdf from him. I know every person has something to share, but I don't know 2 meetings with this man and I'll be discussing philosophy with him. Without further ado, I am coming to the main part. This is what has been mentioned in the letter.
“We spend very little but good time together. They were beautiful days but since you are too busy I realised that in order to tell something It’s not necessary that we have to see each other.
So, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your words.
I mean it.
I also wanted to share one more thought with you. And it goes like,
You know, I always used to think,
Why do I need someone in my life? I mean, I’m happy, independent, financially fine. Then why do I need a partner or anything like that?
I have asked this question to myself and to many people many times. And nobody’s answer really satisfied me well. I kept asking this to myself for years.
Then last week I was watching something on the internet, and it dawned on me. It was a small sentence, but I got the whole point.
Why do we need a soulmate?
“The reason why we need someone in our life is because we need someone to remember us when we are not around or when we are far from them, or you know when we won’t be there anymore after we get old.”
We need someone to remember our habits the good ones- the bad ones-the nasty ones, the good qualities-not so good qualities, the time we spent-the moments we had, the places we went together, the food we cooked – the food we ate, the boats we sailed-the car rode, the experiences which kept us close-the fights we had, the vulnerabilities that we shared, the things we achieved-the things we lost, the character that sticked us together, the things we talked-the things we didn’t, the common habits we shared-differences we did not, the moments of love and every other emotions we have gone through and many more things.
We need some to tell us that your life has not gone unnoticed, I’m here to see it and witness it and keep seeing it every day, every time.
I know you don’t want any relationship from anyone or
Maybe, I was not good enough.
But, You know It would have been very wonderful if you could have given it a chance.
You may have had some experiences in your life which made you think like this, I thought maybe I could be an example that can change it but I was not, right?
So yeah! This is all I wanted to talk about, If we would have met.
It would have sounded better If I was there in person because someone told me I am a very charming guy;)
I’m not as good a writer as you and this is not some rebound letter, I wrote what I felt.
Normally at the end of any letter we write see you soon. But since you don’t want it,
I wish you nothing but the best in your life.”
This simple letter, laying down his life lessons to me like it is a simple thing makes me feel happy.
I don’t agree with everything but I can feel the honey in the words.
The honesty touched me.
I was more happy seeing that, my words made him feel something.
& he is pure enough to share the thoughts back to me(Ego might have played its part, but here, Ego fades).
