People often hear the word soulmate and automatically assume you mean the person you intend on marrying. Well, my soulmate is my best friend.
No one else gets you like your best friend does. They are that person you quote ridiculous movies with and there is no judgment. My best friend is also that person I enjoy singing at the top of my lungs with.
Your soulmate is who you want to do everything with and you'll love them forever. I met my best friend my sophomore year of high school, and we still have yet to fight. We see eye to eye on everything and could go days with each other without any time apart and still not have one argument. Respect is key for a great friendship. Many people get jealous when their best friend is with someone else and having fun, but there are boundaries that have to be set. Your soulmate should always be your go-to pal and more importantly your person.
My best friend has not just become a friend, but family. She has been to every single family event and is now pretty much expected. A soulmate is someone you can be with for hours on end doing absolutely nothing, and still enjoying the time of your life. That is exactly what a best friend will do, too. While new friends come in and out of each others' lives, we remain closer and closer as the years go on and we never let anyone interrupt our friendship.
A best friend is someone you can go to willingly and let out your deepest darkest secrets and still have that secure feeling that nothing bad will happen. A best friend is also someone who you can rely on as your sidekick. Any task should never be done alone, always do it together.
While my best friend is not the person I will marry years from now, she will continue to stay my person. The everlasting bond between best friends should be a tight bond. We text more often than any boy's name would ever pop up on our phone screen. Snapchat has become a game to see how long the "streak" will last, and Instagram has been our way of sending hilarious memes back and fourth.
After working together and even calling off to hang out together, it only made us closer. We have had so many adventures in our years together, and it only makes me happy we have many more. I am not sure how my life would be without my best friend, but it would definitely be less spontaneous. Random car rides, doughnut eating sessions, and watching ridiculous movies with you has given me more memories than anyone else.
Every person deserves to have their soulmate. While you have been looking for someone to marry your whole life, maybe your best friend in your soulmate, too. Don't be so certain it is who you are going to marry.
