#soulmate

When I was young, I believed in fairytales—or at least I wanted to.
I wanted to be a princess and be rescued and taken care of. But no one ever told me that once the princess was rescued, married and set up in her own castle, it wouldn’t be very fun.
It’s no fun living like that, just because someone somewhere said that’s how it’s supposed to be done.
After I ditched my crown, I went through a bitter cynical phase. I scoffed at the idea of soulmates. I didn’t believe in romantic ideals or the poetry of love. I absorbed the ideals of the people around me and found myself thinking that we’re each compatible with a number of people in this lifetime. It’s all about who we choose to love.
Now, the smarter, older me is calling bullshit.
There’s a reason why so much has been written about that once-in-a-lifetime kind of love—it actually exists. Whether we meet or choose our soulmate in this life—that’s another story.
But soulmate love exists. I know this deep in my bones.
And although I’m confident in this deep type of connection between two people, I don’t believe in fairytales. I don’t see them as the same, and I think that’s precisely why so many people mix them up.
The love we crave doesn’t look anything like what it’s supposed to. It’s not always pretty—or happy. It’s not the loss of common sense and spontaneous bursts of wonderfulness. It’s not someone doing everything we’d want them to. And it’s not two people being in such a people-pleasing mode that they stop living authentically happy and being true to themselves.
Soulmate love will never be perfect, because if it was, it would lack the necessary ingredient to be a soulmate: the ability to change us.
Change only comes from opposition, and only a soulmate can be a loving opposition that doesn’t try and change us, but instead inspires change within us and our lives.
The soulmate love that we crave is dirty and imperfect. It’s messed up and problematic at times, but it’s also in our veins, and no matter how hard we try, we just can’t quit it. It’s sleeplessness at 2 am, and a hunger we can’t satisfy. It’s not about living a life that looks good to others—it’s about living a life that feels good all the way down to our inner soul.
This is not the stuff of fairytales, because loving like this takes bloody courage—the courage to let go of everything we’re supposed to do, including how we’re supposed to love.
It’s letting go of how two people should live their lives, and instead journeying together to find out what works best for them. It’s about  loving freely so that not only will there be space in our togetherness, there will be fluidity to it as well. It’s the courage to stand apart from everyone else with confidence, knowing we’re living the life that’s best for us.
Being soulmates isn’t a choice—we can’t choose the person we feel a connection that goes beyond reason with—but embarking on a journey with our soulmate is.

Sometimes we aren’t yet ready for the type of love that a soulmate can offer. It’s a gut-wrenching, honestly authentic love that rips our hearts from our chest. But oh, it’s also so very lovely.
And that’s what keeps us coming back for more.
We all have the ability to choose who we pursue romantically. Sometimes it’s easier to take the path of least resistance, but no great love story ever started because it was easy for two people to be together. Greatness can’t be born from simplicity.
Great love is born from challenges and the ability to overcome them.
It’s walking through darkness with the faith that there will be light on the other side. It’s the math problem that just can’t be solved. It’s everything we never knew we wanted and needed. It’s not knowing how the story will turn out, but being happy to even be a part of it.
It’s not believing in happy endings, because choosing soulmate love is just the start of a journey.
It’s a journey of love and self-discovery that will wind itself around our hearts, and bloom without us even realizing it. It’s smiling for no reason, and collarbone kisses. It’s the love that we feel not in our hearts, but in our souls.
That is the difference.
Are we ready and willing to give up the good and go for the great, the extraordinary—to choose life and love with a soulmate?

Akai-Ito [Yuju Scenario]

Anon: Can i request a soulmate au with gfriend’s yuju? Thank you ❤

Note:Just to clear some things up, this scenario is made following the reader’s pov, so the person you’re “talking” to is Yuju. I am so sorry it got so short but i felt like i’d ruin it if i make it bigger. So, yeah, i hope you like it, enjoy :).

• “The Akai-Ito legend says that neither time, distance nor anything that happens in the way, will keep the extremities of the string unconnected. Then, you will find true happiness, your purpose in life about loving and being loved.”

I’ve always thought that love and destiny were two things that never crossed paths. In my mind, love was something that radomly happened, being certain and sometimes not. That would be why some couples actually work out and some not. 

I was so wrong and now I can finally see it. Since the time when I started having dreams about you. They were not normal dreams; they had an cronological order, always seeming to follow a script. The previous dream always connected to the next, somehow. Sometimes, it was like I was moved to someone else’s body the moment I fell asleep. 

Those dreams were so real that I started thinking I was going crazy. I was living someone else’s life, a completely different world, and sometimes it was hard for me to know what was real and what was a dream. 

Until the day we’ve met and I’ve finnaly realised that it was you all the time. All of those weird dreams that kept me curious for so much time. I have no idea about how I got to this conclusion, but i just know.I recognized your voice the moment you said ‘hello’. 

In my dreams, I never saw your face. Whenever we walked by mirrors or anything that could reflect face, all I’d see was a blur. But your voice is something that I could never get wrong. Sometimes it felt like you were talking to me. 

There is this one time I remember dreaming one of those dreams again. However, something was different, this time I was in my own body, seeing through myeyes and you were right beside me, holding my hand really tight, with your face still blurred, I remember hearing you say 

“I will find you again. Even if it’s on another life. Promise you’ll wait for me.”

Can you believe it? One more dream. One more promise abou future lives.

That was the last time I dreamt about you, though. After that line it stopped, almost like you had left my life forever. That was the only time I woke up feeling a little empty after dreaming about you. 

I had some relationships that didn’t really lasted too much. They were all very boring and it felt fake all the time. Sojung used to say that they didn’t last because those people weren’t on my destiny line and that someday I would finally find my soulmate. They weren’t meant to be.

And I waited, and waited, until the day we’ve met and I could fell real love. That was when i had the confirmation tha my soulmate had finally come to take me. When you told me that you had those weird dreams too, it got realer. I remember it like it happened yesterday.

“Do you believe them? The dreams?”

“I believe that we’ve already met in our past lives, and that we will keep meeting after this one too.” You said, with your voice calm like the ocean after the storm. 

“And what if we don’t met?” 

“Well then we make a promise, just like we did before.” You lifted your hand and lifted your pinky, saying “I promise I will find you in all of our lives”

I looked at your raised pinky a little skeptical, but with my heart begging me to believe. Then I attached my finger to yours, and saw your bright smile as we touched our thumbs, finalizing our promise. 

“This is completely crazy.” I said and you laughed

“It is,” you agreed “But you know what? I don’t care, I just want to love you in every opportunity I have” 

“I really hope we can keep that promise” I said a little insecure. I was afraid we couldn’t make it.

But you looked at me, still holding my hand and gave me one of those smiles of yours that make your eyes smaller when your cheeks tighten them, and said 

“Don’t worry, the world can go against us, the laws can try to separate us, but they’ll fail. Because as long as a me and a you exist, we will find each other, and we will love again, and again, and again.”
