And not your significant other.

Maybe Your Soulmate Is Your Best Friend, NOT Your Significant Other
Olivia Jacques

Everyone wants to find their soulmate. Someone to spend the rest of their life with. Someone to always have and be able to confide in. Many people search for this in a significant other. Many people believe you're supposed to marry your soulmate and be with them forever.

I only believe in one soulmate. Some people think you can have multiple, but I believe that there is only one person out there who is truly meant for you, the true love of your life.

But what if your soulmate isn't a significant other? Maybe you aren't supposed to marry your soulmate, but your soulmate is just the person who is always there for you. The person who has your back and supports you 24/7.

Maybe your soulmate is your best friend.

Think about it. Your best friend is always there for you. They never leave you. They love you in a way no one does. Yes, your significant other can be your best friend too, but I'm talking about your girly pops or your boys. The people who have been there before your significant other and the people that will be there long after you and your significant other don't work out.

Maybe your soulmates are your best friends you go to brunch with or have drinks with on random nights. The ones who've known you since childhood and the ones you'll still be friends with when you're 70.

Your best friends know you like no other. They see sides of you your parents, co-workers and even significant others don't see. And they are still your best friends.

These people are your go-to. They're your speed dial, the ones you tell good news, the ones who support you and your shoulder to cry on.

So why can't your besties be your soulmates? Because you aren't intimate? So? That's not what it's always about. These people are always there for you. So maybe your best friends are your soulmates.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
