Depressing thought of the day... always thought it's weird how people in relationships talk about finding their soulmate or true love.
In reality most people never end up with anything close to the person they are best suited for. This is sort of undeniable when you consider the number of people you dated vs. number of potential people out there in the world.
There are probably thousands, or hundreds of thousands, of people better suited for you than whoever you are with right now.
