Letting go ✨

A couple of weeks back, I faced an emotional turmoil. I thought I'd found "the one" but that actually wasn't the case. And no hate here, but I did not take the bursting on my fairytale bubble very gracefully. When my delusion broke, I was a total mess, emotionally and mentally. And it made things worse for both of us. But one thing I take as a learning from this incident is that, no matter how hard you try, no matter how much of yourself you pour into someone, if it isn't meant to be, it won't work out. And this fact has to be accepted with grace and dignity. I believed in the concept of soulmates, i believed that somewhere, someone is meant to be for me, made for me and only me. But today I believe the concept soulmates isn't hypothetical, magical or delusional the way I previously thought it was. It is when two people are willing to save the bond between them and put efforts, both ways, to protect what's theirs. It's a realistic concept only when relationship worth saving for the two people. Realising this took a lot of introspection. I hope this helps y'all in one way or the other. ✨

Thought this was about layoffs from the title 😭

On a serious note, take care! It's okay to be a mess, and it's okay to redefine your expectations! Glad your response to this was introspection and not further radicalization. Best of luck!

You have put the words which I was searching for all long to explain this bizarre moment. I was in same place and it was chaotic. Reflection is key to coming back to your normal state. Meditation brought some peace. More courage to you.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely take up meditation for more perspective. 🌼

So trueee!!! Surprising that you came to this realization so soon. People (read me and many more I am sure), take years to understand this and a part of their mind always chases that person even when they know the reality. Both need to cultivate and nurture the relation, can't be done by just one.

Concept of soutmates isn't hypothetical, magical or delusion..it's the efforts from both sides!! 🀌

You contradicted yourself: "If someone is not meant to be, they won't be". "I no longer believe in the concept of soul mates".

Those two things are not mutually exclusive, no? You might not find the perfect one, but it's difficult to force fit someone into that position when they are not meant to be
