How do you find your soulmate?

The quest to find a soulmate is a deeply personal and often elusive journey. The concept of a soulmate resonates with the desire for a profound and fulfilling connection with another person, someone who understands us on a deeper level and with whom we share a special bond. While there is no foolproof formula for finding a soulmate, there are several aspects to consider and steps to take in this exploration.

1. Self-Reflection: The search for a soulmate often begins with introspection. Understanding yourself, your values, aspirations, and what truly matters to you is essential. Take time to explore your passions, interests, and personal growth. Engaging in self-discovery and personal development can help you align with your authentic self, enabling you to attract someone who complements and resonates with who you truly are.

2. Define Your Vision: Clarify your vision of a soulmate. Consider the qualities, values, and characteristics you seek in a partner. Reflect on the emotional connection you desire, the level of compatibility you seek, and the type of relationship dynamics that resonate with you. Be open to flexibility and allow room for surprises, as soulmates can manifest in unexpected ways.

3. Engage in Meaningful Connections: Building genuine connections with others is a crucial step in finding a soulmate. Engage in activities, hobbies, and communities that align with your interests and values. Connect with like-minded individuals who share your passions, as these shared experiences can create a foundation for deeper connections.

4. Openness and Vulnerability: Being open and vulnerable is essential in cultivating meaningful connections. Share your authentic self with others, expressing your thoughts, feelings, and desires. Embrace vulnerability as an opportunity for growth and connection, allowing potential soulmates to truly see and understand you.

5. Patience and Timing: Finding a soulmate is not an overnight process. It requires patience and an understanding that the timing may not always align with our expectations. Trust in the timing of life and have faith that the right person will come into your life when the time is right.

6. Learn from Past Relationships: Reflect on past relationships and learn from them. Identify patterns, strengths, and areas for growth. Understanding your past experiences can provide valuable insights into what you truly desire and help you make more informed choices in future relationships.

7. Embrace Serendipity: Sometimes, soulmate connections occur through chance encounters or unexpected circumstances. Be open to serendipitous moments and trust your intuition. Pay attention to the people who enter your life and the connections that feel genuine and deep.

8. Communication and Compromise: Building a lasting soulmate connection requires effective communication and a willingness to compromise. Cultivate healthy communication skills, active listening, and empathy. Understand that no relationship is perfect, and compromises are necessary for growth and harmony.

9. Trust Your Intuition: Intuition can be a powerful guide in finding a soulmate. Listen to your gut feelings and instincts when making decisions about potential partners. Trust your inner voice as it often offers valuable insights and guidance.

10. Self-Love and Self-Care: Prioritize self-love and self-care throughout your journey. When you love and care for yourself, you attract healthier relationships. Nurture your well-being, practice self-compassion, and maintain healthy boundaries.

Remember, finding a soulmate is a unique and personal journey. It may not follow a linear path, and the definition of a soulmate can vary from person to person. Embrace the process with an open heart, trust in yourself, and be receptive to the possibilities that unfold along the way. Your soulmate may be closer than you think, waiting for the right moment to enter your life

how did you discover your love language

Hibrides and Brakul having the world’s saddest booze-fueled girl’s night, probably a few months before the start of the story.

Anyway here's an extensive rundown of their shared history.

Hibrides Uryashta was the eldest daughter of a chancellor of the imperial city-state of Erubinnos (his lordship Erub Uryashta). She was brought up with great privilege and security, but (like most daughters of noblemen) was destined to be used as a bargaining chip in a political marriage arrangement. She was taken from her friends and family and moved to the city of Wardin at the age of 16 to complete her pledged marriage with Janeys Haidamane, the failson of the trade magnate Haidamane family. Janeys spent about a week poorly attempting to behave like a husband, and then took the first excuse to flee and engage in a petty military campaign against raiders on the Yellowtail trade route. She found herself left alone in his villa for three years with only hired servants for company. She made a few attempts to break into the city's elite social scene, but was quite shy and failed to make any headway.

Brakul had just spent a year and a half in a bit of a whirlwind. He was brought into a skirmish at the behest of an allied clan, who had been raiding the Yellowtail route and now was under attack by combined forces of an enemy clan and Imperial Wardi mercenaries. He killed one of the mercenary commanders and was captured as a prisoner of war, but was spared at Janeys' behest (who fucking hated that guy thought it was awesome that he got killed with a rock) and was ultimately recruited into the group. He had a chance to go back home, but actively chose to deadbeat dad out on his wife and child to be with his newfound lovequest, Janeys. He spent a year and a half as a mercenary, bonded closely with Janeys and swore brotherhood with him, and was eventually brought home to the city of Wardin with him. He found himself in the odd position of being simultaneously scorned as a foreigner and 'heathen', and the legal kin of one of the richest families in the city (and effectively the secret male concubine of their only male heir).

It was in this context that the two of them met, with Hibrides now being 19 and Brakul turning 27.

The two were initially wary of each other (Hibrides was particularly put off by his 'heathen' status) but bonded very quickly, partly due to their mutual states of being unmoored from their old lives, but in large part being just a natural chemistry. They had a lot of common interests and enjoyed learning from each other. Hibrides introduced him to traditional verse poetry (of which she was very fond). Brakul taught her how to ride khait, and even gave her a gelding from his own collection as a gift. They became very close friends over the next couple of years and spent much of their free time together.

A big part of the dynamic was that both of them are gay in a cultural context where there is no concept of Being gay, marriages are usually arranged and always between a man and a woman, and having children is a societal expectation. Each of them began to see the other as an ideal husband/wife, ie "if I had to marry why couldn't it have been him/her?". For Hibrides' part, Brakul had all the traits she would want in a husband: he was a pretty good friend and easy to get along with, he seemed like he'd do an excellent job of fulfilling expected roles as a husband and father (she didn't know about the wife and kid for a while), he treated her as an equal, and, most of all, had no interest whatsoever in fucking her. They were both in a sort of platonic emotional affair, and grew to love each other deeply.

Hibrides was pretty quick to catch on that something was going on between Brakul and Janeys, and found it strange and offputting but ultimately none of her concern. Her husband only being interested in his sworn brother and leaving her to her own devices suited Hibrides just fine, and Brakul always just kinda being There meant she was living with what had become her closest friend.

The stable state of this Feelings Triangle began to change in the wake of the brilliant plan to get Janeys (gay) (probably infertile) children he could pass off as legitimate via a Brakul/Hibrides pregnancy. It was something all three agreed to as a necessity; it was already drawing scrutiny that Janeys and Hibrides had been married for several years without a pregnancy, and producing heirs is a societal expectation and a central point of an arranged marriage between wealthy elites.

It was especially critical in this case, given Janeys was his family's only male child and only hope of continuing the family line, given both his golden-child sister Faiza and black sheep half sister Couya were Odonii, and thus sworn virgins and would never marry. (There's also a level to this that Janeys was regarded as a complete disappointment by his parents, and his mother made damn sure he knew that his only value at this point was to produce a better male heir to inherit the business. So this was a big fucking deal to him, and to Brakul by extension).

This was also not a route any of them wanted to take on any personal level, least of all Hibrides. She consented to the pregnancy and everything it entailed, but it was inevitably a painful and distressing experience all around. She had never wanted to be a mother to begin with (though had long accepted it as an inevitability), and now found herself with an infant daughter, which only meant it would have to happen again (they needed a male heir after all). And it would be utter social suicide and a profound shame upon her if the child's illegitimacy was discovered, which only added to the stress.

To make things worse, her first pregnancy shifted the entire dynamic with her husband and brother-in-law/best friend. Janeys changed from completely indifferent to actively spiteful and hostile towards her, and things had become extremely uncomfortable between Hibrides and Brakul. It only got worse with Brakul (the only one of them who actually WANTS kids) (kind of haunted by skipping out on his first child) finding it unbearable to be so close to HIS daughter and having to keep up an act that she was not his own, having no direct role in the kids life. He desperately wanted to be a father.

Hibrides, who was going through a fucking lot, started to become vindictive towards him for his role in things. She resented him more than Janeys, because Brakul insisted he cared about her and would desperately try to pretend things were normal, while consistently siding with Janeys against her wishes, including in preventing her from getting a divorce. (His excuse is that the children's legitimacy would be interrogated in a legal setting, which Is likely and Would be absolute social suicide with very real consequences. But the real reason on his part is that if she got out of the marriage, he might never see her or the children again). Hibrides began to do everything in her power to prevent him from having any relationship with his bastard children, even in secret or under the guise of a relative. Sort of an “if I have to suffer to keep up this facade so should you” thing.

They had two children in a span of three years, two girls (ruh roh!) named Erubi and Livya. By this point, Hibrides and Brakul were both experiencing what we would now call Clinical Depression and Alcohol Use Disorder (especially in the latter's case). Hibrides started to have affairs with both men and women, which she was sure to be very obvious about to insult Janeys and Brakul, but was mostly out of loneliness. Brakul turned his complete focus to Janeys and started avoiding Hibrides entirely, in hopes that she would become desperate enough to be willing to make amends (shockingly, this did not happen, and the rift only deepened).

In the present, their relationship status is: fucked. Both of them do still love each other on some level, but this is probably beyond repair. What little time they've spent with each other in the past year is sitting around being miserable and getting plastered. And now Hibrides, Janeys, and Brakul are all forced into the public eye on the pilgrimage together, and with a third child on the way. So that's probably going to be everyone's problem.

We watched Civil War early on in the month and although some of the camera stuff wasn't on (watching any photography-focused movie with a person who was a photojournalist for over a decade, when oneself also has decades of photography experience is like watching VH1 Pop Up Video) the music was a fun mix, and reminded me how much I love the band Suicide, and the use of 'Rocket USA' was solid.

Speaking of music from movies, 'Sara Loves Her Juicy Fruit' has been on my monthly playlists before and is from Creep 2. It came up naturally in a suggested playlist and I dug it and couldn't figure out why more of this "Albert Natural" band wasn't out there then learned it was just a movie-only song very much riffing on like, Phish (though my partner clarifies it really is more in the style of Umphrey's McGee).

Realising there are a lot of covers in this one.

Related media to some of the songs:

We all know 'Baker Street' but have you heard the demo, which has guitar in place of sax? It's got a different, but also very good, vibe. Not as sad, more dreamy, I guess?

The_miracle_aligner overall has many classic language covers of songs that bop, but this cover of 'All Star' also I think is one of those covers that helps underline how genuinely a bop a song is. I've linked the orchestral version by Eric E. Britt before, I'm sure.

Hey, you know how I first heard The Polyphonic Spree? In a flash game called The Quest For The Rest, by Amanita Design. The first scene of it is thankfully archived on Archive dot org, and it was so wild to play it um, literally 20 years later.

Anyway here's a link to August's playlist on Spotify, with the track list below the cut.

Create the Perfect Valentine's Evening at Home: A Comprehensive Guide

Hello, everyone! Valentine's Day is a celebration of love and affection, and what better way to cherish these moments than in the comfort of your home. This guide will walk you through creating an unforgettable Valentine's evening at home, filled with romance, laughter, and love. Sometimes, the most romantic moments happen right where you feel most comfortable. Let's dive into some sweet and simple ideas to make your Valentine's celebration at home unforgettable.

Setting the Mood

Selecting the Perfect Music

Begin your evening by setting a romantic tone with music. A carefully curated playlist, featuring songs that hold special meaning for both of you, can evoke cherished memories and create a tender atmosphere.

Lighting to Create Ambiance

Lighting plays a crucial role in creating the right ambiance. Soft, dim lighting or the warm glow of candles can transform your home into a cozy, romantic retreat, perfect for a Valentine's Day celebration.

Dinner for Two

Choosing a Romantic Menu

Dinner is often the highlight of Valentine's Day. Choose dishes that resonate with your love story, perhaps a meal from your first date or a cuisine you both adore. The key is to select recipes that are both indulgent and easy to prepare together, adding an element of fun and teamwork to your evening.

Wine Pairing Suggestions

Add the perfect wine to your meal to make it even better. Choose a strong red wine for a big meal, or a light white wine for something lighter. The right wine can make your food taste better and give your dinner a fancy touch.

Decorating Your Space

Floral Arrangements

Decorations set the stage for your evening. Start with floral arrangements; roses are traditional, but feel free to choose blooms that are significant to your relationship. The fragrance and beauty of fresh flowers can instantly uplift the mood.

Personal Touches

Personalize your space with elements that reflect your journey as a couple. Displaying photos from memorable moments, or creating a small altar with mementos of your relationship, can make the evening feel uniquely tailored to your love story.

Activities for the Evening

Romantic Movie Selections

Plan to watch a romantic movie that resonates with your relationship. Whether it's a classic love story or a film you both enjoy, cuddling up with a movie is a great way to unwind and connect.

Couples Games and Entertainment

Engage in light-hearted couples games or activities. This could be anything from a card game that sparks conversation to a DIY project that you can both contribute to. The idea is to create joyful memories and share laughs. Feel free to incorporate LoveQuest our pack of Romantic Scavenger Hunt Cards for a playful and romantic game.

Creating a Memorable Atmosphere

Aroma and Scent

Introduce elements that appeal to the senses. Aromatic candles or essential oils can fill your home with a soothing fragrance, enhancing the romantic setting.

Comfort and Coziness

Ensure your environment is comfortable. Cozy seating, plush cushions, and soft blankets can create a snuggly, inviting atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy each other's company.

Special Gifts

Exchange gifts that are thoughtful and reflect your understanding of one another. These don't have to be expensive; often, a handwritten letter or a DIY gift can be more meaningful than something store-bought.

Capturing the Moment

Remember to capture moments from the evening. Take photos, or even better, keep a journal entry to remember this special home celebration. These memories will be a treasure in years to come.

The Art of Conversation

Dedicate time to meaningful conversation. Discuss your dreams, share your fears, and reflect on your journey together. This deep communication can strengthen your bond and add depth to your relationship. Use our Couples & Relationship Therapy Workbook as a guide to explore topics like empathy, understanding, and reigniting the flames of love.

Dessert and Relaxation

Conclude your dinner with a delightful dessert, followed by relaxation. End the night with a relaxing bubble bath. Light some candles and enjoy a peaceful moment together.

The Element of Surprise

Incorporate small surprises throughout the evening. An unexpected note, a special dessert, or a spontaneous dance can add elements of fun and surprise, keeping the evening exciting.

Planning Ahead

A stress-free evening requires planning. Prepare as much as you can in advance so that you can focus on enjoying the time with your partner rather than worrying about logistics.

Reflecting on Love and Relationships

Take a moment to reflect on the significance of Valentine’s Day and your relationship. Appreciate the growth you’ve experienced as a couple and the love that has deepened over time.

Final Thoughts

This Valentine's Day, remember that the magic of the evening comes from the connection you share with your partner, not just the activities or setting. It's about celebrating your unique love story in a way that feels right for both of you. Whether it's through heartfelt conversations, shared laughter over a home-cooked meal, or simply enjoying each other's company in your own special way, the day is a wonderful opportunity to deepen your bond and create lasting memories. Cherish these moments, for they are the true essence of Valentine's Day.
