I once knew, and almost dated, a woman who was in recovery (from alcohol, IIRC) who told me about The Romantic Myth.

She recited it so quickly… I’ve tried to find it in print… there is so much of it that I don’t remember…

But it starts with “There is one person somewhere in this world who is your soulmate” and ends with “and you will both die at the same time in each other’s arms.”

Letting go of that myth was one of the most difficult parts of my own journey.

I believe in soul mates, I don't believe in your one and only. With seven billion people on this planet, it's absurd to believe you could be limited to connecting to only one.
