Member-only story
One day, you’ll find your soulmate.
The one who feels like home, the one who makes your heart feel full in ways you didn’t think possible.
And it’s going to be beautiful.
But here’s the thing: when that day comes, you’re going to find yourself looking back. You’ll think about the days when life was just about you.
Remember those days when you could do whatever you wanted without checking in with anyone?
When every decision — big or small — only had to make sense for you?
You could binge-watch your favourite show all night, book a spontaneous trip, or spend an entire weekend recharging without guilt.
Your time, your choices, your life — it all revolved around you.
But if you’re anything like I was, you might not see the beauty in that right now.
Instead, you might feel the ache of loneliness creeping in.
You might be scrolling through social media, seeing couples everywhere, and wondering, When will it be my turn?
Maybe you’ve even found yourself clinging to people who aren’t good for you, just so you don’t have to be alone.
