Dear Soulmate
What happens when you're walking that razor's edge, deep in your own thoughts, maybe feeling alone, and you start writing letters... not just to anyone, but to someone you feel out there, deep in your soul? Your soulmate.
Most people might call it a fantasy, just a dream we all kind of wish was real. I wrestled with that thought – long and hard. Searched myself, questioned everything. And I landed on belief. Why? Because everywhere I look, I see duality. Positive and negative. Yin and yang. A push and a pull. It felt true that for every energy, there’s another meant to harmonize with it – a soulmate.
My own spiritual path is a blend, seeing how energy cycles through everything, maybe like souls connecting across time, drawn together. So, during a time I was walking solo, this idea hit me: Write the letters. Put it all down – the hopes, the struggles, the search for that connection.
The plan became this: one day, send these letters out into the world. Use the internet like an ocean, these recordings like my message in a bottle, hoping the currents carry them to her.
This podcast, Dear Soulmate, is me unsealing those bottles. It's raw, it's my truth, shared publicly for the first time. Maybe you'll hear an echo of your own search in these words.
Let's cast the first letter out now.
Dear Soulmate
Dear Soulmate Episode 3
In this episode of "Dear Soul Mate," Jonathan Cruz reads a deeply romantic letter written during his incarceration, where he explores the mysteries of perfect love and eternal connection. But before diving into the letter, Jonathan offers hard-earned wisdom about relationships that came with age and experience. He reflects on how his understanding of love evolved from the fantasy-driven perspective of a 21-year-old with limited relationship experience to a more mature understanding of what real partnership requires. Jonathan discusses the difference between compatibility and the actual work relationships demand, and shares insights on true leadership in relationships—moving from dictating and demanding to leading with trust, respect, and genuine care. This episode beautifully contrasts youthful romantic idealism with mature relationship wisdom, showing how even our deepest beliefs about soulmates can grow more nuanced and practical over time. A powerful reminder that love, even soul-deep love, requires both feeling and skill.
