So you think you’ve found your soulmate? Is it that dreamy boyfriend of yours, who truly understands you on a personal level? Sure, your significant other can definitely be your soulmate, but have you ever stopped to think that maybe your soulmate doesn’t have to be your partner? What if your soulmate is your best friend that you’ve known for years? Well, I’m about 99.99% sure that your best friend can be your soulmate, and here’s why.

1. They always support you and accept you no matter the circumstances. When I think of a soulmate, I think of someone who loves you unconditionally. Your best friend should definitely love you this way – that’s why their your best friend! They know that you might be weird, and instead of being annoyed or judging you, they join you in being a complete weirdo and make you feel comfortable. They allow you to be yourself!

2. They laugh with you, but they also cry with you. Your bestfriend shares happy moments with you, as well as sad ones. You can go to them for a good laugh, especially when you need one, but you can also go to them when you need a shoulder to cry on. I remember when I told my best friend about a personal issue that occurred in my family, and she sobbed as I told her the story. She said that she wished she knew me when the issue was happening, because she wanted to be there for me. That is definitely soulmate material! Wishing they were there to do anything and everything to help you during the hardest of times? What more can I ask from a soulmate?

3. You know, it’s crazy, we finish each other’s… SANDWICHES! Just kidding, you finish each other’s sentences but you definitely wouldn’t mind finishing each other’s food either, because you are that close. To be honest, most of your sentences have to do mutual jokes anyway, so you definitely can quote all your favorite movie lines. I mean, can you BE any more adorable? (Yes, that was a Friends reference).

I hope that after reading this, you all can relax more and not have to stress about finding the perfect soulmate in a significant other… because you probably have one in your best friend!
