“You might hate how overused the word ‘soulmate’ is, but this is the way you make one. A soulmate is the person who’s gotten the chance to see something real about you. You risked; you bared ugliness; you forged a bond. This friendship becomes something more lasting than a superficial thing.
“Soulmate means a friend who understands something about you and so lives flexibly in this relationship, in which you can both risk a little, and insult a little, and dare a little, and stray a little, while something solid connects you at the center.”
– Ilana Simons, author of A Life of One’s Own
