I recently stumbled upon this quote when I was doomscrolling on TikTok. We all do it. But this quote really caught me. It felt like an opening, if you could say that, to a thought I had never really considered before.
Because we spend so much of our lives looking for someone. Someone to love us, someone to grow old with, someone who makes us feel complete. We are constantly told that there is a “right person” out there waiting for us. But what if we stopped searching for that person for a moment and started searching for ourselves?
We can become so focused on finding love that we forget to actually live. We wait for someone to come along before we allow ourselves to feel fulfilled, as if our life is only truly beginning once we have someone to share it with.
But you are still a whole person on your own.
Maybe finding your “soul” means figuring out who you are when nobody else is watching. What makes you happy? What are you passionate about? What kind of person do you want to become? What makes you feel alive?
There is something strangely comforting about realizing that your life does not have to revolve around finding someone else. You can build a life that feels meaningful before anyone comes into it. And maybe, ironically, that is the whole point.
Instead of spending all your time looking for someone to complete your life, spend some of that time creating a life you don't feel the need to escape from.
Because at the end of the day, you are the one person you will spend your entire life with. So maybe it's worth getting to know yourself.
