These types of soulmates are those that help us laugh when we're in pain they nurture us and flow with us when we're riding high. These people challenge us to be real and to be vulnerable and to speak our truth and they love us despite our problems and our flaws. i don't think that we should be confusing soulmates with this notion of forever although that might be what traditional ideas tell us there's a saying um maybe you know it i do really love it and the saying is a reason a season or a lifetime isn't meant to be your life forever just because you form a strong bond with them for some time.
