What's a soulmate?

Communication-Chapter 1

Love,

The reason why we're who we are.

Honesty,

Not being afraid to tell someone the truth even if it isn't what they want to hear.

Trust,

Something that is hard to get but even harder once it's broken.

Communication,

Having all night, deep conversations with someone.

Humour,

Enjoying life and having fun with someone even on the hardest days.

Connection,

Real strong bonds can never break no matter what the circumstances are.

Soulmate,

Something that people search their whole lives for.

Some people live their lives knowing that someday they'll meet that one special person, some people search their whole lives trying to find that person. Sometimes we meet people without even realizing how much effect they have on us and sometimes, just sometimes we don't take them for granted.

We all know that everything happens for a reason and that once you meet that one person, you know it; without any doubt. But what if you realize it when it's too late?

Since the day someone is born, their soulmate is decided for them. You can't change your soulmate because you don't like their hair, or that you don't like their name. A soulmate is knowing about all their flaws and still loving them. You can never describe the feeling you get when you're with them, but maybe this story will...

It all started on the day that two kids were born. One of them was a girl, Marinette, she had dark blue hair with blue-bell eyes and a joyful soul. The other was a boy, Adrien, he had blond hair and green eyes with the kindest heart.

When they were 7 years old, Marinette asked her dad the question that everyone seemed to be talking about. "What's a soulmate?"

At first her dad was shocked at the question that her daughter asked, but who else was better to tell her than her own father? He sat next to her on the couch, smiled and said "well, it's like a best friend but more. It's the one person in the world who knows you better than anyone else. That someone who makes you a better person. No, actually they don't make you a better person. You do that yourself because they inspire you."

Sabine entered the room and sat next to her daughter, Marinette was carefully listening to his dad, without even blinking. Her dad continued "A soulmate is someone who you'll carry with you forever. It's the one person who knew you and accepted you before anyone else did or when no one else would. And no matter what happens, you'll always love them, nothing can ever change that."

Marinette looked at her mum who was tearing up, she smiled then grabbed her mum's hand and put it in her dad's hand and said "you're each other's soulmate."

Sabine smiled then kissed the top of her daughter's head and asked "how would you know that?"

Tom added "are you saying that because we're married?"

Marinette shook her head and said "no, you two always understand each other and love each other. Daddy when am I going to find my soulmate? Is he going to be a handsome and a dreamy prince?"

The couple laughed, and Marinette looked at them with a confused look. Sabine said "your soulmate doesn't have to be a handsome or a dreamy prince. He has to be kind, brave, and protective, someone who is always going to be there by your side."
