Today’s WP prompt question gives me a ROSS AND RACHEL vibe!
If you’ve watched the show F.R.I.E.N.D.S. before – you’ll know.
He was her person and no matter what guy she dated, where she relocated or was in life, no matter what she was going through – she knew that. She was his person, and no matter woman he dated, where he was, or what he was going through – he knew that.
They were each other’s happy place.
To answer the question, No. I don’t believe in Soulmates, but I do believe that everyone has their person out there.
When you find your person – you’ll just know.
And no, it’s not the same thing as Soulmates.
From Google’s POV:
“A Soulmate is typically about a deep, spiritual, or instant connection meant to teach you lessons, while “your person” – is your chosen, long-term teammate who provides everyday stability and reliability”.
Google goes on to share that:
Soulmate: Often feels like a predestined, magnetic pull. These relationships can be intense and rocky, arriving to challenge you, change your perspective, and foster personal growth.
Your Person: This is a conscious, everyday choice. They are your reliable best friend, safe space, and life partner who sticks by you through practical challenges.
I like the idea of “my person” being out there somewhere.
I don’t like the word Soulmates for some reason, and I’ve never believed in that sort of thing.
I think “your person” is more practical, and makes more sense.
The person who makes you feel loved, safe, protected. Not every day is going to be roses and sunshine, but your person makes you feel like no matter what – he or she is going to be there to get you through everything, so you don’t have to do the hard times alone.
No matter what mistakes you both make, what you go through together, how many times you disagree, or so on – you know in your heart you can’t be without that person, and that’s the person who makes you the happiest.
It’s hard to explain in my opinion, but they’re not the same thing and I believe in “your person” being out there or having your person – more than soulmates.
Make sense?
We all have our person out there, and if you’ve found yours, Congrats! 😊💕
If not, trust me when I say it will eventually happen, and you’ll just know.
Google also says:
“Your person” refers to someone with whom you share a profound, unconditional connection. They are your ultimate confidant, someone who accepts your flaws, celebrates your victories, and provides a safe space—whether they are a romantic partner or a best friend.
I couldn’t have said it better myself!
This scene always makes me a little sad – when Ross finally gets the nerve to tell Rachel how he truly feels and she’s about to move and start a new job!
See?
He knew that was his person, and he waited too long.
If you know who your person is already, don’t do that.
Don’t be a Ross. lol.
So, no. I don’t believe in the Soulmate thing and don’t even like the word, but I do believe in having your person!
Have a blessed day my loves!
