Thank you for this article, much needed!

“As naturally as breathing. That’s what platonic soulmates feel like. The ability to feel close to someone as naturally as taking a breath to say I see you, I understand you, I love you.”

I connected to this line too! Even more what followed – “Perhaps we are all souls in community with each other, and some — our soulmates — illuminate and bring out the best parts of ourselves more than others.”

He is my friend and that is what we are, friends. It can happen between men and women but I believe it may be rare.

We met very young and have maintained a friendship over the years. We are both in our mid 40s now live three states away, but we always make time for each other. I’ve never had to ask her to understand me she just does and I understand her. There is no judgment between us just undying support. I truly have no idea where I would be without her.
