soulmates.
they were considered your true love.
the one that you were destined to be with.
you see, every person is born with ring like loops on their fingers, basically the outline of a ring. when you meet your soulmate[in person, this doesn't happen virtually], the rings get filled in with a color [silver or gold- it doesn't matter] and glow. when you meet your soulmate, your rings will fill in and glow and you will feel ethereal. you'll have an attraction to your soulmate, wanting and craving physical touch. there's also a catch. for exactly 30 days, you'll be weak from meeting your soulmate and may not be able to function physically that much. but, it's okay cause thats just how life is in this world.
it's very important to be with your soulmate for the 30 days. if you aren't, you can become sick, sick to the point you can get paralyzed or in a coma. sometimes it can take longer due to how often you see each other and other circumstances.
usually, people have 1 soulmate, but sometimes people have 2-3. rarely, do people have more than 3. it's looked down upon.
of course, some people may reject you and then you'll feel as if you lost a part of you. your rings will turn black. you're immediately cast from society if this happens. people discriminate you based on how many soulmates you have, if your soulmate rejected you or not, and many other factors. its a cruel world.
not to mention, people date other people all the time, whether they believe in soulmates or not. some people do it to pass time while others simply don't believe in this phenomenon.
