A Letter from the Soul Lover
Choose your own love letter
Every living soul has a spirit lover. One that lives out in a dimension we cannot touch. Yet their love for us pours through the cracks of time and space. Some have souls older than trees. Some never existed in a physical form. Others are fresh faced. New to the universe and all the stars that come with it. Some have lived that physical life of hardships and pain.
Certain folks living in the dimension of the physical and hard scientific rules can sometimes break that barrier. Some see into the other realm using dreams or visions.
This one can.
For this one has seen into the other realm and has communicated with specific spirit lovers. There were nine that this one had touched with simple words. They in return left a letter. Simple, but powerful to those who need it.
Perhaps one of these nine holds your heart.
There is only one way to tell.
Open your heart. Take a deep breath. Allow each one of your fingertips to tingle to the particles in the air. That is the way in which you open your soul to the options before you.
Take a drink of any fresh beverage you have. Whether it be warm or cooled. Regulate your breathing so that your muscles relax. Place both hands on your chest so that your heart can feel the warmth coming from your palms. You cannot be loved until you love yourself. Keep your hands there for a small moment to allow the love to pass from your heart and into your hardworking hands. Now your mind shall be opened to the words of your soul’s lover. Using your own heart filled with love and your cleared mindspace, pick the letter that calls to you. There are nine to choose from.
Fear not if none of these letters were meant for you. You may have yet to find your spirit lover. Or perhaps your soul didn’t connect properly. Feel free to read all the letters to find the one that fits you.
For those who are in search of that special soul, let me ask you three special questions to help you narrow down your options.
Question 1:
Do you believe in souls?
Yes
No
I’m open to the idea.
If you answered yes, perhaps letters One, Three, Five, Seven, or Nine are meant for you.
If you answered no, perhaps letters Four or Six are meant for you.
If you answered that you are open to the idea, then this one cannot guide you to the specific letter yet.
Don’t fret, I have two more questions.
Question 2:
Do you seek guidance from those who are older and have been through life’s journeys? Or do you gravitate towards those who share similar ages to you or maybe even younger than you?
Older folks
Younger folks
I don’t really care, so long as I’m getting advice!
If you answered older folks, perhaps letters Two, Four, or Nine are meant for you.
If you answered younger folks, perhaps letters One, Three, or Seven are meant for you.
If you answered that you have no preference, then this one still cannot guide you to the specific letter as all may be applicable.
No worries, there is still one more question.
Question 3:
What would be the perfect reaction your soul’s lover could have to your struggles?
They would see me struggle and want to offer me their support and encouragement so that I may rise above. They admire my persistence through the hardships I face and think the world of me for it.
They would see me struggle and want to protect me from the dangers of the world. They know what it’s like to be in my shoes and can understand how strong I’ve been. Their heart would melt and want to offer a soft shoulder for me to rest my weary head on.
They would see me struggle and do anything to take my mind off my stress. Though the stress may linger, they know how damaging stress can be on the heart, mind and soul. They’d give you their undivided attention and do anything to give you the much needed relaxation your body craves.
If you answered the first one, perhaps letters Three, Five, Six, Nine
If you answered the second one, perhaps letters Two, Four
If you answered the third one, perhaps letters One, Seven, Eight,
This one hopes you have been given the clarity you need to choose your letter below. The questionnaire is meant as a guide. Please don’t take it at face value as if this is the blueprint the letters will follow. If you still struggle, then please, feel free to read all the letters. They have been provided for your comfort. Please do not feel discouraged if none of these letters resonate with your heart. For there are millions of souls out there. Both in the dimension beyond our comprehension and in the physical world. Perhaps next time, you will find your perfect soul love.
Please enjoy as this one did when translating. But please also forgive this one’s translation. This one may have fluffed up some letters to extend them to equal lengths. One assumed it to be only fair.
Letter One:
My lovely soul lover,
Oh wow! I have been given a chance to speak with you. This is incredibly exciting. I’m going to try not to waste a moment. I apologize for my inexperience with talking to other souls. But, I have made a list of all the wonderful qualities you have as well as what I want us to do together someday. I will try to get through my list, but oh; it’s so long! Here we go!
Wow, are you so cool. There are many definitions for the traits of “cool”. What defines cool? Is it how one dresses? Is it how one speaks? Is it the way they are able to charm others? Or is it how they are how their brains can process complex problems faster than others? Maybe it’s all of the above! But to me, you are the definition of super cool. If anyone wants to be cool, they have to be like you. But there is only one you! Making you one of a kind cool.
You are very beautiful. I hope I can convince you of that. I see you every day and I see how much you shine like a star. One could be blinded to your light!
You have a very sparkly light. It’s sorta a pinkish color. Pink to me always meant bubbly and sweet. Maybe that’s why I see it as a pinkish color.
Your soul sings. Oh, it’s such a very pretty song. It’s the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. Whether your thoughts on your physical musical talents are positive or not, you should know that the song your soul sings could move mountains. Your voice is soft as silk and puts me to tears everytime.
You’re like that of a fairy tale! One of the good ending ones. You walk with grace in your steps. At least from what I can see. I bet once you become a soul like me, you can use your grace-like influence to convince the other souls to float around in space with us. It can be like a party!
I can’t wait to explore the universe with you. I’m still so new in this form. I suppose you could say I was born yesterday! You see, some of the other souls have called me naïve. I have to agree with them. I’m not really professional at this whole soul thing.
But I think that’s why I like you. Because I don’t think you really care. I think you like that I can be this goofy in my first words to you. In some ways, I hope you find it charming!
That’s not to say I don’t ever want to act more like a mature soul someday. There are many small souls out in the universe. Some of those souls are like that of a child. I hope to grow in experience one day. So that I may adopt one of these small souls and take care of them. Show them the universe. Would you like to join me? I have a strange feeling you might. We would be pretty awesome parents, I would think.
I get the feeling that you may have doubts from time to time. I mean, who doesn’t from time to time? But I sense your doubts that we souls even exist. Seeing is believing and you’re not seeing. Oh how I wish I could show myself to you. But I’m not something the eyes can see. Only what the soul can feel. Please, reach out with your soul. Feel it deep within you and know that I am there. I wish I could reach for you physically. So that you may feel my touch. But all I can do is offer you words instead.
Don’t despair! Our souls are still joined. That is, if you wish them to be! If you wish to reject me, I understand. I don’t hold your decision against you. But know that I still love you no matter your choice. And if you do want to keep our soul connection, please feel free to talk to me anytime. I love hearing your voice.
Do you like animals? I mean, of course you do, but I mean do you really love animals like I do? I may be able to see your soul and observe your life, but that doesn’t mean I know everything about you! And I don’t know your true feelings on animals. I like animals. I like canaries and blue jays. Birds are super cool. Elephants are pretty big and I like them too. But do you know what I really love?
Butterflies. They are the best. They start off so small, eating everything they possibly can. They know it’s important to prepare for change. And then, they do! They change into gorgeous creatures. Can butterflies be counted as animals? I don’t know. I hope you enjoy butterflies too!
I should probably wrap up my letter to you. I was all over the place with my thoughts. So much for a list! Oh well, I never was the most organized of souls. There’s just so much I want to talk to you about! I hope to get the chance someday.
You’re super cool, remember? Please don’t forget that. And if you ever feel lonely, know that there is a soul out there that loves you so much!
Love,
Your Soul Lover.
Letter Two:
Dear _________,
It is a pleasure to finally get the chance to speak to you. Allow me to introduce myself. I am your soul lover from another dimension. I have not been permitted to speak with a physical human for so long. So this is a great honor for me. I promise not to waste this. I’ll try not to bore you either.
Since you are my lover, my letter to you will be one described only in its most unconventional ways.
My emotions and thoughts can only be composed into poems.
Forgive the embarrassing nature and I hope it doesn’t trouble you. The translations can be a bit messy.
Underseas and tricycles
Water Bombs and the mythicals
Pour the melodies into a glass
And taste the deep crevasse
My love is like salt on a leaf
Monitor its happy grief
Hearts tap at a pure sight
Ukuleles dance through the night
Glue these turtles into one
Callously glance at the done
Wipe at the stick
Until you crash into a pick
Wave and scream to let known
Feathers cannot simply be shown
Fly like rocks into juice
Don’t work the grapes loose
Dress your dreams
Explore the smells beams
It is only the smart
To enter the tree depart
Eat from the stars
Drink only bars
Ears that define
Hands that number nine
Otters and rubies
Talking of duties
Fish of kio in a node
This to all I owed
I cannot believe I’ve expressed to you my deepest thoughts. I am washed with embarrassment. Yet I feel relief at the same time. Knowing I have gotten this off my chest and given to the one I love most.
Until next time.
Love,
Your Soul Lover.
Letter Three:
Dear love of my soul’s life,
There is an honor I am not used to. This honor of finally being able to speak to you. How I wish to tell you everything I ever could. There aren’t enough words in a dictionary to compose a perfect sentence that my entire being could pour out to you. Instead I’m left with a short time. I will attempt not to waste a moment!
I’ve crossed the plains of time and entered your dreams. Please do not take this in a terrifying way, but it’s the best way for us to see each other in the soul realm. Your mind can leave it’s physical cage and travel to worlds you’ve never been to. You may not remember, but I remember it all. Your dreams opened a window to the very soul I feel connected to. I can sense your fears as well as your desires. I wish I had the power to banish all your fears and help you achieve all that you desire. But unfortunately, I’m stuck in this limbo of time and space. Instead all I can do is reach out through this letter.
This perfect chance. This letter. How lucky am I that I get to speak to the diamond of a soul that is yours. Your rare, perfect soul. It shines and glistens through the darkest of times, bringing that shimmer of hope others need. Others such as myself. No star can shine as bright as you. I’ve surfed through different worlds, but each new treasure pales dull compared to you. You are the treasure my own soul longs for. Blessed is I for finding you.
It sure took me a long time to find you, but thank the moons I did. I wish to also extend my love for you onto your friends and family. Through their love and support, you’ve turned into the beautiful jewel that you are. Something I could never imagine my universe without. For that, I love them too. Do not worry, I still love you more.
You have returned the love and I see your friends and family are stronger because of it. Such a miracle love is. Both sides benefit and are made better. Is it terrible of me to be envious of this? That I wish to be so loved by you so that I become an even better soul? I have so much unrequited love for you that I’ve grown into a more pleasant ethereal being. But how I wish for it to be mutual. A chance for us both to love and grow. I suppose that is the essence of a relationship. How quaint of me. Wishing for a relationship. With you, it would be heavenly.
I understand the situations you and I are both in. I have extreme compassion for you and all the hardships you are facing. I only want you to succeed in all that you do. I never ever would want you to feel pressured to do anything else but what you feel is best for you.I just want to be there to support you in any way I can. I may not be able to put my arm around you, but I hope that my soul can reach yours. That in some way, you can feel my love. That it’ll help you through the darkest of times, your loneliest hours. I will continue to try to reach you through your dreams.Hoping that I can still connect with you in whatever way shape or form that be.
Please don’t let my overbearingness creep you out. I can understand if you read my letter and get off put by it. I want you to have the freedom to do as you want. Live as you like. Love whom you choose. But I also want you to know just how much I love you. I love you so very much. I hold you dearly to my soul’s heart. And I just hope that I can reassure you of this love. So you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that you are special to me.
You are in fact, so very special to a great many people. It would be selfish of me to say that I love you more than anyone. Everyone loves you in many different ways. But your soul is so magnetic. So incredibly unique, it’s hard for me not to appreciate it.
I hope what I have said to you has touched you. Maybe just a little, but still touched you. I wish I had more to say, but I feel I’ve gotten speechless near the end here. You’re just so soul snatching, it’s hard for me to find the right words to say anymore. Saying the wrong words would make me so unattractive to you. I think we should get to know each other more before we reach that point.
I’m so happy to have had this chance to speak with you in the form of this letter. I love you so very much. Thank you for being open to experiencing my words.
Love,
Your Soul Lover.
Letter Four:
Hello dear,
This is new. I’ve never in my wildest dreams would think I could ever talk to you. Forgive my slow start to this letter. But I’m trying to compile all my thoughts into something coherent for you. I’ve been in the realm for as long as I can remember. Yet once the door opened for me to say something to you, I lost all sense of intelligence.
Allow me to begin again.
Hello. It is an honor to meet you.
You’re breathtaking.
Has anyone told you that recently? I feel as if I should know the answer to that question. But I have never told you. It’s something I’ve always wanted to tell you. So this is me, telling you it again. Because I think you need to hear it twice.
You are breathtaking.
You are unique. You are so incredibly special.
Everyone is special, but not to me. To me, it’s you that is special.
And that on it’s own is enough to take breath away.
I’ve been in this realm for a very long time. Floating in a space between worlds. Lost to the void. The same one I thought was calling me all this time.
Then I saw you. It was you that pulled me from this void. The eternal emptiness I thought I was trapped in. It was your light that encaptured me. Brought me back into this being I assumed I lost hundreds of years ago.
I can’t explain what makes you so magnetic. I suppose the way you respect yourself. I mean, of course what person doesn’t crack the self depreciation joke once in a while? But you give yourself attention when the moment calls for it. And I love it when you do.
You make me want to open up. I don’t know how. You are the first soul I’ve ever connected to in so long. When I felt your soul’s warmth for the first time, I immediately knew how special you truly were. It’s like a spark you feel when you connect with another living being. But this spark set my own soul ablaze.
I need to tell you. I don’t trust easily due to my own experiences when I existed in the physical world. When I lived just as you are now, I had several friends. People I grew close to. Even someone I considered a lover. But it was all taken away from me when I made mistakes. I chose the wrong choices, put trust in the wrong people and turned to harmful measures that I thought would save me. In the end, it cost me my life. A life I barely remember. I had parents, but I couldn’t tell you their names. It’s all lost to me. Lost to time.
I’ve been drifting for ages. Among stars and planets. It’s vast up here. But empty. It’s cold and lonely. Who knew such wonder and beauty could be so despairing?
For a long time, I loved my solitude. It gave me a chance to get to know myself at a personal level. Something I needed to do before I could ever met someone that would fill my empty heart with love again.
Then there was you.
Your soul bloomed like a flower among weeds. It gave me courage. Courage to be something different. Something I’ve never been before. Something I wanted to be. Something perfect just for you. I really hope one day I can become that something.
I see how you interact with your friends and family. I see how dedicated you are to everything you take on. I support you. I care for you. I don’t know how to show it, but I do. I wish to be like you. You inspire me to continue to grow. It’s funny how a soul’s journey is never over. I just hope you know that even though you and I cannot connect directly, you’ve changed me into a much better soul.
If there is one thing I could humble myself to ask of you, it would be this. Please, please trust me. Trust that I will continue to grow. Trust that I will continue to better myself. Trust that I will never think ill of you or wish any harm to come to you. Trust that even though we can’t touch or speak or see each other, that I am still there. Holding your heart with tender care. Of course you don’t have to listen to my request. I don’t quite deserve it.
But if you do find my words moving in anyway, then please. Trust that I love you and that we will eventually bond together as two souls should.
Take care of yourself until we can speak again.
Love,
Your Soul Lover.
Letter Five:
Yo,
Look at you. No, really. Look at you. Go to a mirror if you haven’t and look at yourself because oh my moons. You are hecking gorgeous and someone needed to tell you that right this very second. How lucky for both of us that I got to be the one to tell you.
So hi there! I’m only able to speak to you for a short time, but woohoo, at least I’m getting that super special chance. I think you’re just the super coolest. I’ve been in love with you since like, I first saw you. I didn’t think it would be you. But you see, I looked at you and the stars moved. Like for real, out of the sky. They moved and spun around you like a twister. I couldn’t believe my eyes. You changed into this miracle being and your soul glowed several pretty colors. And that’s when I knew that if I ever had some soul lover or something like that, it would be you.
I’m new to the stars. I left your physical world not too long ago. I think I may have left the world just a few decades before you were born. I didn’t have that long of a life in the physical world. Disease took me, but I wasn’t scared. My own physical life was surrounded by the passing of loved ones. Losing my form didn’t bother me as much.
That does mean that I’m super new up here, but it’s not all that scary or anything. Nah, it’s amazing up here. Everything I thought would happen when I returned to my soul form has definitely happened. I’ve been free to explore and roam.
And then I saw you. And I’m so fixated by you. You’re like, the best thing ever. Seriously! I wish I was as awesome as you. You should totally give yourself more credit in everything you do. I think you need someone to tell you that you’re awesome more often. Especially by me! I think I should definitely tell you more often. It’s too bad I can’t. Yet I can right now. So I will tell you again. You are so super awesome.
I really like your sense of style. Tailored perfectly to you. I think you look fantastic in everything you wear. Everyone questions their own body, but I think you’re perfect just the way you are. I suppose that’s a little cheesy to hear, but again. I wanted to tell you anyway.
I also wanted to quickly tell you. Please keep believing. Believe in magic. Believe in fairy tales. Believe in happy endings. Believe in the unknown. Believe in aliens! Believe in a higher power. But most of all, believe in yourself. You could also believe in me, but you know, your choice. No pressure.
But no really. Just because I died in the physical realm doesn’t mean that my story ends. Nah. If it did, it would mean I never would meet your glorious soul. And how could I ever imagine that could happen if death meant the end?
This is why I believe in so many things! I’ve experienced so many wonders. I understand the mindset that seeing is believing can be disheartening. Especially for those who have not seen yet. However, I want to encourage you to have faith anyway. Whatever that faith is directed towards. Even if it’s just in hope. I just want to encourage you to believe in something.
I would love the idea of having you up in the stars with me someday. I think we would have a wonderful time soaring through the galaxies together!
Not that I want to rush the end of your physical life. I think it’s important for you to enjoy the life you have right now first! Am I asking a lot from you? I feel like I kinda am.
I’m sorry. I definitely wanted this letter to be more about me gushing about you. But I’m just so excited to have this chance to talk to you. I want to be as encouraging as I can! And I know you could use some more encouragement. I’m your biggest cheerleader up here!
I bet your friends and family in real life could be good people to get encouragement from as well. Please, have the strength to ask for help from them too. You know, just because I am unable to. Perhaps my soul can work through them! When they help you, you can feel their soul offering help to you as well as mine. I just hate the idea of you being stuck doing everything yourself.
Okay. So I’ve asked you to believe and ask for help and I’ve given you encouragement. Have I called you awesome in the last ten minutes? I don’t think I have. You’re awesome, by the way!!
Ah, I do adore you so much. Probably love you. Definitely love you, actually! You’re just too cool for the universe. What’s not to love?
Okay, I’ll go now. But I can’t wait for the moment when I get to talk to you again!
Love,
Your Soul Lover.
Letter Six:
Greetings,
It is I. Your soul lover. Lucky us.
Lucky you to be stuck with some joke like me.
It could be worse.
Whatever. It is worse. What’s the point of even trying to compose thoughts into a letter when the situation will remain the same?
Hope.
Bah. It doesn’t matter. I’m still way out here in the vast nothingness of space and you’re still out of my reach.
And now I imagined you’ve put down my letter and walked away. For who wants to read words of anger. Let alone know these words of anger come from a soul that is supposed to love you.
Well, if you’re still reading, I mean...I don’t know why. But thanks, I guess. I’ll try not to be so bitter this entire time. But when you meet a soul and come to love it so much and never get to truly interact with it except through some letter, I’m sure you’d be a bit bitter about it too.
Or maybe you wouldn’t be. You’re a better person than I. A better soul, that’s for sure.
Don’t worry. I’m not here to sell you on the top ten reasons why you should love me back. But I’ll try not to completely waste this chance to talk to you. It’ll be a good opportunity for you to get to know me. Other than being some pill.
Not many souls can stand me, if you can believe it. I know. What a shocker. But I’m often alone. I’ve been up here for a while and I haven’t connected to anyone. At least not really. I’ve talked to the other souls, but my attitude makes me unapproachable. Then I get lectures that I should change myself to be “more friendly” or some nonsense like that.
And then I get friendly and it’s fake and I’m no longer myself. It’s not that I can’t be respectful. But there’s a territory that comes with being friendly. And once you become too friendly, you give an incorrect image of yourself.
I want to be friendly to those who actually need the friendliness. Not the ones fishing for it. And that makes me the annoyance of the skies, I guess.
I know what you’re thinking. “So, um, what makes me so special that some sour spirit has taken a liking to me?”
I don’t know. I can’t science it out or give you the reason to it. You’re just special to me. As cheesy as that sounds. And when my soul did meet yours, I guess it made me want to be better.
Correction. Better for you. Not better for anyone else.
I’m not going to tailor myself to your dreamboat. But I do want to grow and become a better soul so that you can be proud. You can turn to other souls and be like “yeah. That one loves me and it rocks.” or some lame sentiment like that.
Are you still reading? Or have you left yet?
Reading. Yes. I love reading. Anything, really. News, novels, advertisements. I’ll read from subtitles to text books all day. Something about the ability to process words with your eyes while your brain rapidly responds to each letter. It’s a miraculous act that happens. Most take it for granted. They make it a chore or they put pressure on the idea that everyone should read things the same way they do.
Totally ruins the greatness that is reading. Which is why I have to thank you if you are still reading. Not because it means you still have an interest in me. But because you have an interest in what I have to say. That you took the time to read each word I’ve given you.
That is why you are the greatest. That is the biggest reason I love you. You give your attention to those words. You read them, process them, and come up with beautiful images in your head.
It amazed me. And I found myself bonded to you.
Okay. That’s enough of that. I don’t need you more repulsed than you already are.
For the too long didn’t read.
I like you. Love you actually. Think you’re awesome. And I’m just some sarcastic, weirdo soul who loves getting under other souls’ skins.
And I like that you read my letter. Even if you did skip to the end.
I guess I like that you chose my letter so you could hear me out.
Okay this was fun.
Bye.
Love,
Your Soul Lover.
Letter Seven:
Hello there,
Welcome to my letter. I’m excited to have you here. I hope you feel relaxed as I want to ease you into my world. Being a soul is a magnifying experience. One I cannot wait for you to enjoy one day. For now, I hope to give you that sense of wonder just from my letter alone.
Please don’t take this love letter in any wrong way. I definitely wish to build you up and compliment your glorious soul.
But I was hoping you’d be alright with something different. I have a feeling you would. It is one of the main reasons I am in love with you.
Allow me to use this letter as a date.
So, welcome.
Please, enter my solar garden.
On your right, you will see golden, sharp sunflowers. They are incredibly bright and warm to the touch. Our souls are at ease seeing them as their light is what keeps life alive around us. Each sunflower represents a star in my galaxy garden. But the biggest and brightest sunflower of all is the one that represents Sol. Your star. Your sun. I have made sure this one stays the biggest as it belongs to you. You are incredibly special to me. So your sun is as well.
On your left there is a small pond. It is calm and cool, swirling in the shape of the milky way. Each crystalized speck lights up the pool to create that perfect model. Colors are blended in a subtle way as not to overwhelm your eyes.
You look at the path below your feet. Each stone is like that of a small asteroid. Not much of an aesthetically pleasing decor, but it fits the theme and allows you to keep your attention on the rest of the garden.
You walk down the path, towards the small group of trees and bushes. Each one producing different fruits. Fruits that have special meanings. Plums to represent your small successes. Bananas to represent your humor. Peach to represent your physic. Cherries to represent your large achievements. And of course, apples to represent the common phrase. “You’re the apple in my eye”. Fear not, I will not trick you into eating a pomegranate to keep you in this garden for half the year. Nor will I trick you into eating a fruit that will get you kicked out of the garden.
Instead you make it over to a table. Around the table are vines with several colored flowers growing from the vines. Each flower specifically colored and decorated with rings and small berries. Making them represent planets, moons, and solar rings. And of course, the turquoise flower is in the center of the table. Representing the dear Earth that houses your soul until you are able to join mine.
And now, we have finally met.
I hope you are not overwhelmed by all of this. I hope you instead find peace and relaxation here.
Close your eyes and hear the buzzing of the insects. The singing of birds. The soft whistling of the wind. Feel the winds cool breeze against your skin. The warmth from the sunflowers. The freshest of air filling your lungs.
It's everything I want to give you. It's everything I am preparing for when your soul can finally meet mine. You deserve this garden. This world. This galaxy. And this is the only way I know I can give it to you.
I am so excited for you to experience this garden someday. But don’t worry. I will be patient. In the meantime, I wanted to gift you the experience with a sensory letter. So that maybe you could feel as if you were there.
Please know that a soul up here wants to give you the universe. While you lie alone, wondering if anyone, anything cares. I do. I have all these plans and I have built this incredible place. All for you.
I will wait for you. I will support you in the meantime. Feel free to return to this garden whenever you feel sad or alone. It’s not going anywhere. I promise.
Love,
Your Soul Lover.
Letter Eight:
Heeeeey,
How’s it going? I hope you’re doing swell in this lovely universe. I sure am now that I’m able to say hi to you. This would be the part where I shake your hand, but hand shaking is not something I can do. Not to worry, I’ll do a small bow instead. You cannot see it, but I bet you can imagine it instead. Which is just as awesome. Your brain is full of cool little talents like that.
What do I look like? Hmmm. That’s difficult to explain. I’ve got a weird glow about me that indicates I’m a soul. When I was human like you, I remember having darker eyes. It’s been a while since I’ve been a human, I think I’ve forgotten what I look like!
Oh well, these things happen. Just gotta go with the flow and embrace change as it hits ya. You’re very similar on that front. I watch when change smacks you in the face, ready to knock you down. But you take it as if it was just the wind lightly pushing your hair back. Then you keep going. Super inspiring. Please never lose that.
Others should totally take notes on how you handle yourself. When you keep a level head through struggles and stress, it makes you a leader. People cling onto leaders. Thus people cling onto you. Souls do too. Souls like me.
There’s another soul up here that loves you. I’ve met them. But it’s a bit like an obsessive love I think? I don’t know, they rambled on about how they know your likes and dislikes and about that one movie you watched when you were a kid. And I was like “slow your roll there bud.” I’m glad the messenger picked me to translate a letter to you. I like you too, but I don’t stalk ya. You need your space. You like having your space. I do too. I think it’s why our soul connection is the stronger one.
Not to say I don’t want to eventually spend time with you. Once our souls are able to meet, we should go on some trips around this universe. I hear you can slide through asteroid fields like you’re at a waterpark or something. I haven’t tried it yet since it’s more fun to do it with a special someone.
Did you know souls can snuggle up with one another? I learned about this the other day when I saw two of my friends snuggling up with one another. I suppose I didn’t see it. But I was able to sense it. It was incredibly adorable. I kinda maybe sorta want to do that with you. I think it would be very cute. And somewhat warm. Souls up here cannot get cold. But I think I would be able to feel the sensation of warmth if we snuggled.
To be honest, I can’t really feel many of the bad things I used to feel. Sure loneliness happens, but things like hunger or back aches or your nose itching doesn’t happen. But experiencing the good is something you get all the time. I bet a cynical mind would think “well how can you experience the good without the bad.” To which I say, if it’s all good, then how would you be able to tell the difference?
It’s all good up here. Except you. And that’s the bad I get to experience. The bad is I am lonely without you. But do not rush things. Take your time. Live your life. Man, your kids are going to be so cute. Enjoy all of life. Including the bad. You only experience it once. Then you get to join all of the trillions of souls up here in the universe. Forever playing in the stars.
Wow. What an insane existence. I can’t complain one bit, however. It’s all a miracle. All these things we get to enjoy. And the moment you and I will experience them together, it’ll all be worth the wait.
That is, if you want to explore them with me. I mean, there is another soul up here who is obsessed with you. You could run off with them. I’ll try not to cry too hard.
But in all seriousness. You are very amazing. You have a beautiful life ahead of you and I will be cheering for you on the sidelines the entire time. Enjoy every piece of life in the meantime. Enjoy the tastes of sweets, the smells of freshly baked goods, the touch of soft petals, the sounds of bows hitting strings in all the right ways. It’s all worth it. You only experience the physical side of it all once.
Then you’ll get to experience the sights of the stars. The thrills of flying fast through the galaxies around.
Life is good. And I know you know this, you cool person you.
Love,
Your Soul Lover.
Letter Nine:
Hello my love,
I’m not the most eloquent when it comes time to my words. Showering you with shallow pleasantries isn’t my strong point. Yet I can tell it doesn’t bother you. It’s one of the many things I love about you.
You see, when I first acquainted myself with you, I could sense your determination. You’re hardworking and have your priorities all sorted out. Ambitions lock your mind, carrying you to spaces you never thought you could reach. You’re incredible.
I shout my praises for you across the night sky. No one compares to you, my love. No one.
I’ve met several thousand souls in my time and all have been barren compared to yours. I looked inside your golden soul and saw wisdom beyond your years. I often wonder if you are an old soul just as I am.
However, to keep in line with who I am, I must divert this complimentary section of my letter. I did say I wouldn’t sit here and shower you with shallow pleasantries.
Instead I extend my love to you through my own experiences and wisdoms. I see your soul's true desires. I know this doesn’t bother you and in fact you would love the advice I can give.
One of the many reasons I believe we are bonded to one another.
I am here to offer encouragement in a strict sense. Don’t bend to the will of others. You have the makings of royalty in your blood. Royals do not bend. They stand. And you, my love, you stand so very tall. Tall among the rest. You were meant to lead, not follow.
So lead.
Invest yourself. Take the time to plant your seeds into the ground around you. Plant your seeds in rich soil. Then grow them into healthy plants. These endeavours you seek will give you the riches you need to survive comfortably in this cruel, fallen world.
But don’t just survive. Live. Expand your domain. Expand your lifestyle. Allow it to influence and sway others. Don’t get comfortable at the idea of being good enough. Ascend higher. Be the person your inner child always wanted you to be. Whether that be a person who touches others so deeply, you become the reason they get up in the morning. Or a person who persuades others into making beneficial choices to mankind.
I can visualize it. One day someone will quote you. You will create an impactful statement that someone will want to make a poster of it. Your words will carry onto a new generation, giving them an understanding of how profound your thinking was. Giving them the inner desire to be just like you.
I see it. Your future. It’s bright, just like your eyes. Just like your soul. Your entire body glows when you’re living your passion. It’s all I ever want to see. When you glow, I glow.
Don’t feel rushed, my love. Take all the time you need in order to give yourself the life only you can achieve. Rushing will cause errors. Errors that will pull at your mental state. Slow and steady wins the race. You know this, but I want you to know that I will support you through all of this. You’re never alone. No matter how long it takes.
You are a warrior. I can feel the soldier's spirit take form inside you. You create barricades with your own two hands. Blood, sweat, and tears are all poured down into these defenses you create. Then you take your stance within them. Ready to defend whatever needs your aid. I can see it in your eyes. How you will die for the cause you fight so valiantly for. Whether it be your own or that of someone who has views aligned to yours.
How I wish I was physical so that I may put my hand in yours. I feel I should let you know that your physical form is very attractive. Though your mind has more qualities to it, I wish to also appreciate the traits your form possesses. I feel I should let you know this so that you still know there are many layers to my appeal for you.
Allow me to divert my letter back to the original set of topics.
Topics that focused on your greatest strengths. Talents others can only dream of obtaining themselves. I say this not to put others down, but to bring your self esteem up. This world is confused and prefers to follow the ones that keep their heads high. You don’t have to fake it until you make it, my love. You already have made it. You just have to keep going. Keep preserving.
But I know you can.
I never thought I would get the chance to communicate with you. We are separated, but I hope you feel my love, my support, and above all, my undying devotion to you through this letter. I’m your biggest fan and I’m very excited to see you succeed.
I know this is the part where I have to bid you farewell. But only for now. Perhaps there will be a time in the future when I can reach out to you again.
Please, take good care of yourself. I know you will do incredibly great things.
Love,
Your Soul Lover.
