Soulmate can be in the form your lover, brother, sister, friend, Co-worker, etc..

"Well, it's like a best friend, but more. It's the one person in the world who knows you better than anyone else. It's someone who makes you a better person. Actually they don't make you a better person, you do that yourself... because they inspire you. A soulmate is someone who you can carry with you forever. It's the one person who knew you and accepted you... Believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would. And no matter what happens you will always love them. Nothing can ever change that"

Signs that you have found a soulmate

You can talk to them about anything without having the fear of being judged. You can share your happiness, sorrow, frustration without thinking that "am I being too much". We as humans need someone to hear us when we are hurting it’s the way we lighten the burden of our heart . It’s the best feeling when you can talk to someone about everything . Knowing you have someone who is ready to sit down and listen to you without complaining about it is a bliss .

You treasure them as a blessing. You always wish for your relationship to last forever.

4. Even though its been years but it still feels like yesterday.

The best kind of relationship is where you have been together for years but it still feels like you met them yesterday because they still put in the same efforts, they love you just the same, nothing seems to have changed over the year. They still make you just as happy as they did when you met them.

5. You are Funnier around them. You amuse each other.

Even the most boring person becomes funny around the person they love. You try to make them laugh. Seeing them smile automatically brings a smile on your face. They will laugh at your stupidest and most unfunny joke. They won't care how they look while laughing.

When a new idea crashes in your mind and no matter how stupid it is, if your soulmate sees a potential in you that person will always support you no matter what.
