There’s an old legend that states that those who are meant to be together are tied by a red string. The string is invisible to the eyes, but the two souls always feel its presence.

Its color is that of love and desire, the color that represents the passion between two people.

So, from the moment we’re born, we go through life making the string a bit tighter day after day. As it tightens, the meeting of our soulmate becomes closer.

This all happens unconsciously but it happens because your heart and soul are trying to reach the person you’re tied to. They do everything they can to make the days go faster so that you meet as soon as possible.

No matter what life throws at you, you’ll successfully overcome every issue.

You’ll get to your final destination of getting to know the person you’re connected to.

The two of you are meant to be together. Even if you live on opposite sides of the world, you will still find a way to each other. NO MATTER WHAT!

The invisible thread twists and turns. It pulls and tightens to get over every obstacle and your soul knows that.

It’s aware that you have to do things in order to get closer to the person you’re meant to be with.

You have to participate and make all of the right decisions to finally meet the one you’re destined for.

You can’t cut the string. A boy from the legend tried it and it didn’t work.

As the legend goes, once the old man showed the boy the girl he was destined to marry, he threw a rock at her and ran away as fast as he could.

He thought that he avoided his fate.

But years went by and when the time finally came, destiny knocked on his door as he was about to marry a beautiful girl from his village.

When he pulled up the veil from her covered face, he noticed a scar on her eyebrow.

He asked what happened to her. She told him that a long time ago, when she was a little girl, a boy threw a stone at her.

It all hit him, and he realized that he could never change his fate.

The woman standing in front of him was destined to be his from the day he was born.

The thread between their hearts and souls couldn’t be cut. It could only be pulled tighter as the day of the final meeting was getting closer.

Everything he did from the day he threw a rock at this girl were just steps that were meant to bring him closer to her.

It was written in the stars that the two of them were meant to be together and no one could ever change that.

So, if you’re feeling lost and tired from looking for your final piece of the puzzle, know that the tie between you and your soulmate hasn’t yet tightened completely.

Your soulmate still isn’t ready, but things are getting there.

It may sound unbelievable, but everything you’re doing is actually getting you to the place where you’re destined to be.

This morning, you woke up, got dressed, and went for a walk in the park.

On that same day and in that same park, a man was sitting on a bench next to the lake and he was enjoying the way birds feed their young.

You didn’t meet today but your souls felt close to each other.

They knew that sooner or later, the two of you will walk through the same park, holding hands.

Even if you meet a number of people in-between that final meeting, your souls will still remain loyal to each other.

Your hearts will feel real love only for each other because that’s what the invisible string is all about.

It’s about being connected to the one you’re meant to be with. It’s about remaining loyal and devoted to that person no matter what.

Even if you meet and get separated, the tie will make the two of you come back to each other, because no one else can replace the place in your heart that’s meant for your soulmate.

No one can make you feel every single emotion as the one who has a red string connected to yours.

Even when life gets hard and throws obstacles at you, you’ll still be able to overcome every single one of them because you’re meant to do that.

And one last thing – even when you meet the person you’re meant to be with, the tie doesn’t cut in two.

It remains in place, making sure to never separate you again.

There will be times when you will feel far from each other.

A busy lifestyle, taking each other for granted, and questioning your life decisions can make you feel emotionally distant from your partner.

You might even start asking yourself whether you made the right decision, if things are really meant to be this way.

At that moment, the thread tightens. It reminds you of all those memories you share with the person you’re meant to be together with.

Feelings of love and security will rise up and you’ll realize that there’s no other way to be happy.

You’ve truly found the one who’s created for you. And no one else can make you as happy as this person who shares the same string with you.

You’re each other’s best friend, they’re the love of your life.

Even when times feel hard, you’ll be there for each other to remind yourself of everything you have together.

“An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, and circumstance.

The thread may stretch or tangle. But it will never break.”

Ancient Chinese Proverb

Don’t ever forget that!
