The concept of a soulmate is often viewed in the lens of being romantic, but I have soulmates which are completely platonic. A friend of mine who I met through various synchronicities and coincidences (I started seeing her ever), is def a soulmate. She's been my best friend for 5+ years and my life is immeasurably better with her in it.
In late November, my grandpa past away. This was tough for me because while we weren't emotionally close, he and I were always on the same mental wavelength. We shared similar interests and had similar personalities. I looked up to him for a lot of things.
The day after, I was getting in my car to drive to the animal shelter where I volunteer. I took a moment and said "universe, I don't ask for much but I'm asking for this now. I could really use some love and support from kitties." When I got there, I saw a bunch of different cats like I usually do. I just enjoy helping them. Then I met Tux, a 5 year old cat with FIV who came in through the TNR program. He helped me through the tough time with 5+ hours of cuddles.
Every day after that I went to see him and he sat in my lap, purring and offering support. I kind of took it for granted that he wasn't adopted. I knew I was moving out of my parents' house in a couple months and assumed he'd still be available. Then one day I was at the shelter when I heard "matchmaker needed for an interaction with Tux." I sprinted up to the front and met the people who were interested in him and oversaw the interaction, thinking the whole time "please don't adopt him. please don't adopt him." They didn't. Not soon after that, he went to a rescue organization. I didn't know how much he affected me until he was gone. I missed him dearly. So I got the ball rolling on getting an apartment.
I adopted him 2 weeks later. He was a little scared at first, but within an hour, we had picked up where we left off.
I can say without question that Tuxie is my soulmate. He's my best friend, he comforts me when I'm sad, he makes me want to be a better person and I love more than there are words for.
I didn't believe it at first and used 3 different animal communicators to talk with him. The whole animal communication thing is a topic for another thread but I really do think there's something to it. I've had 2 dozen communication sessions with 3 different communicators total since September. All 3 of them said the same thing about Tuxie. Some quotes:
"I feel like Tuxie is truly supposed to be with you. He is your protector and healer. I think this because when I asked him for other messages - he showed me a grizzly bear - the symbolism that pertained was "natural ability as a healer." When I asked him this I did get a very strong yes. I feel like once he starts to un-sheild and trust - he will really step into this role more fully. He loves you very much and feels like you are his best buddy. He again thanks you for taking him in."
"There is something extra to his energy that I’m feeling, he has a strong energy, like he is powerful and he just sits there and emits this strong presence.
He says, our lives have crossed paths for a reason...I am meant to teach you things. You are very compassionate already, but there is more and more and more. He shows me layers of color, I am seeing pink hues, first dark pink and then the next later above it slightly lighter, and the next lighter still...an ombre pattern. He says compassion can go deeper and deeper, there are many levels. He says, I will help you go deeper. And I am given the feeling that he knows exactly where you are on this scale of compassion already. He gives me the feeling of going outward and upward until there is just pure white atmosphere and the feeling is so very light, like I’m made of air. He also gives me the feeling that you are one of the lucky people who will go far into the exploration of compassion. I ask how he will do this for you. He shows me that he is fine tuning you as you sit next to him, energetically. (He really does feel like a little powerhouse, I’m not surprised he can do this for people). "
"He shows me twobirds that look like sea birds flying side by side, and he says, we were (like?) brothers once. I ask him to tell me more about this life and he says there was fishing and there was listening to the waves to get information about what’s going on in the ocean- like what kinds of animals are close by, or the way the ocean will behave in the near future. He says, that was a good life. And he shows me the two of you gliding close over the water. He says, see, this is what I mean when I say there is so much more to life. He also wants to say, he’s happy to be with you again, old friend. And he brings up how you had the thought to adopt Oscar, to make Tuxie happy; he says this is how you two have always been- constantly doing loving things for each other."
I had always felt these things about Tuxie, I say he is like the cat version of me and he really is. I believe it now. Tuxie is my soulmate.
