The idea of a soulmate is beautiful and very romantic to talk about it in a movie or a song, but in reality, I find it scary. ↗

I love the romance of 'let's get married,' but then, when you have it so perfect... I mean, I'm more married than anybody can be - we have two kids. Maybe one day, but it's something I can really do without. ↗
