Just because it feels difficult doesn't mean you're on the wrong path. Some of the most important chapters of your life will require you to keep going before you see why.
A soul-to-soul connection is worth the wait. Soulmates aren't just romantic, they're friends too. Your soulmates will recognize you, befriend you, support you, love you, align with you, heal with you, and grow with you. They'll cherish your inner child energy and your old soul.
