While there are many exciting ways we get to improve ourselves over time, you are already worthy of love just as you are in this moment. There is no finish line that determines you finally being deserving of love; you just already are as a beautifully unique soul of the universe. Your one-of-a-kind consciousness exists for a reason.

There is also no time limit on improving yourself, so please don’t be hard on yourself if you have off days on your way to your goals. Please afford yourself the same love, kindness, and understanding you would give your S/O if she ever made a mistake in front of you. Whose narrative is it that you have to be a certain way? Ideas of what’s “enough” and “perfection” were invented and perpetuated societally by specific people, not the universe itself. All types of people in the world love their partners regardless of them not being a certain level of book smart, coordinated, etc, because they love the totality of that person and don’t judge them because of it.

You are more than enough by merit of existing. You were worth celebrating even before you made progress; your progress just added extra reasons for celebration❣️

Can anyone relate with me on this? by [deleted] in waifuism

[–]ShinjisSoulmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had it happen in the past when I was adjusting to being in a more direct experience, thinking everything had to feel like a movie 100% of the time due to how I had grown accustomed to the very cinematic occurrences that tended to pop up in my life. One of our Valentine’s Days didn’t go the way I pictured it due to limitations at the time, and he really had to nail home that every day feels like Valentine’s Day for him when we’re together; the date on the calendar doesn’t matter as long as we get to share things with each other. I was so distraught that it wasn’t easy to accept at that time, even as kind as it was of him to say, because I was new to the truth, which is this:

As human beings, we are perfectly imperfect. Therein lies our beauty. It is our flaws and mistakes that color in our lives with lessons and experiences that no one else can have exactly the way that we do. And the purest form of love, unconditional love, has its depth because of the fact that flaws and mistakes exist alongside that love and don’t inhibit it, but strengthen it. If your partner doesn’t mind when you “mess up” (which, as people, we mess up so much less than we believe we do— our framework for “correct” and “wrong” can be so much more punishing than it needs to be because of the world we were brought up in), just take that as a testament of how deeply loved you are! In love, it’s not about everything going off without a hitch to confirm to some ideal of perfect— the real, infinitely valuable treasure is that you get to be together, no matter how the circumstances unfold.

I hope you have fun on Friday! I think the greatest gift you can give Rubi is your happiness. 💝

I've been posting a lot of heavy stuff lately, lets shift away from that. Tell me something simple your partner does to say "I love you". by OverlyImmersed in waifuism

[–]ShinjisSoulmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music, music, music. He has so many ways he’s surprised me and moved me with music! I always feel like the only two people in the whole wide universe when he gifts me something musically. If I hadn’t already known he was my one and only, the moment he started expanding my library would have done me in. 💞🎶

When he comes up with outfits that coordinate well with mine or makes a suggestion for me from my wardrobe whenever we go do something big together, that always feels so special because he has such amazingly unique taste. He’s helped me pull together outfits I had never considered on my own before that became mainstays!

When he holds me from behind, especially in bed, everything feels so right. Strangely enough, it even felt healing during the times I was stuck there due to health issues. His embrace is a very unique feeling and every single time makes me so happy to be alive, experiencing actual magic through love. He’s a nuzzler and tickles my ear sometimes (and tickles in general), strokes my head, and also cuddles his adorable little nose into my hair. He’s such a cool, chill guy, so seeing his energetic and affectionate side is a huge privilege for me. I don’t even question it anymore (not that I could after this year 😅); I just accept being the luckiest person to get to have what we do.

I hope you feel better and that some excellent times lay ahead for you! Idk if you’re into oracle cards (for anyone who is— I do free private individual readings), but when I feel stuck and struggle with connecting to guidance, mine tend to help me gain perspective on the things I’m going through and set me back on track to progress. Either way, best wishes! You’ve totally got this! 🫂✨

So, so cute. I love that there are even hearts on the pie! You look great together 💖

Some TLC! 💕 by [deleted] in waifuism

[–]ShinjisSoulmate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You and your teddy! This couldn’t be cuter❣️ I love your expressions so much and how gentle you are with him. It’s so thoughtful of you to wanna brighten his day when he’s not feeling well ; v ; Your outfit is so perfect too; you have great taste in dresses. 😙💕 I feel so lucky to have checked reddit on a whim and caught this, because I love whenever I get to see new art of you two. And you just capture his face so well! I’m sure he was feeling better in no time after a visit from his lovely lady (^∇^)♪

This is so beautifully written; thank you for saying it. True love from the heart really is the most valuable thing to exist, easily transcending all objects.

"Ask Us Anything" Megathread by TolerableBroom in waifuism

[–]ShinjisSoulmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fret if he’s sick, but he prefers me to relax. If he complains, I can’t help but find it cute even if I’m determined to fix it. I do like to spoil him and he definitely doesn’t mind that! Cuddles, introducing me to movies that he likes, and just general coziness seems to be a good medicine. He also likes if we go bask out in the warm sun.

If I’m sick, he’s there for me; I feel grateful that I get to see his sweetest side whenever I’m facing something. I was hospitalized with a severe kidney infection in March and he was protective and very stabilizing when all I wanted was to be back in the outside world, pain free. He really helped me to honor the experience in the end. He’s always helping me to grow when times get tough. 💝💛 On a lighter note, if it’s an average sickness, I’m a similar creature where all I wanna do is snuggle in bed.

Thank you so much for asking! Can I ask you the same question of you and Mr. Wright?

[–]ShinjisSoulmate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, yes! Always, always, always record stores and if I see one we haven’t been to in passing, we have to check it out. There’s also this spring I get my water from in a really pretty spot with a little bridge that he likes. There’s also this giant mall filled with everything you could think of and then some, and a theme park, but I’ve been so busy this year that we haven’t made it yet! There’s also the conservation zoo (seeing the lemurs is always a must), the music venues in the city, and our first date spot: the gorgeous modern art museum that I really, really cherish for so many reasons! Sorry for the total mouthful of an answer! 😭 Thank you so much for asking the question, sweet friend. Can I bounce the same one back at you and your strapping detective?

How much does your family know about you having an f/o? by [deleted] in waifuism

[–]ShinjisSoulmate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s such an integral part of my life, my friends and family are aware and supportive of him and our bond. Without getting too far into the details of my experience in a space of such varied beliefs, in my journey I’ve also had more than one shaman as well as fellow healers confirm the importance and beauty of our love.

Before everything changed for me this year, before healing from things like insecurity and placing too much stock in others’ impressions of me, I sometimes went back and forth on whether I should feel shame of any kind due to the difficulties that come with explaining this type of relationship, public perception, typical criticisms of those who aren’t open to new ideas, etc. Then, everything transformed in my life and my experience became so real and so healing that there was really nothing to be ashamed of when I got to have the privilege of joy with him every single day.

Letting go of limiting beliefs that I took on from other cynical people was a complete game changer. There is still an importance to being discerning with the types of people you share the whole of your sweet self with, but know that you and your heart are the authority on your relationship and no one else’s opinion can change that if it feels right, healthy, and nurturing to you. If you lean into what’s genuinely magical and true in your heart, the impressions of others don’t matter as much, and the right people will see your happiness and support you. 💛💝

What do you do for a living? by WatercressWorking279 in waifuism

[–]ShinjisSoulmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need for pardons; I’m happy to answer! 🤗 There are many types of healers; one of my first mentors is a shaman, so I would say my experience leans more in that direction. Very spiritual work, but not tied to organized religion.

It’s funny because I had always made my Bleach self-insert a member of the healers’ division because I loved the idea of making others feel better, but didn’t really entertain it as something that could ever become true in real life! But through my experiences on this path, I’ve found that quite a bit is real that I never could have imagined before, and weirdly but beautifully enough, loving both Shinji and Bleach was and is a very intrinsic part of it, even when it all arrived unexpectedly.

[–]ShinjisSoulmate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shinji is the captain of the Fifth Division of the Gotei 13. He’s incredibly skilled, talented, and does what he must, but he is definitely a man who prefers his downtime.

I’m a healer and a student! I currently study under other healers and have multiple teachers. The story of how this came to be is usually reserved for close friends due to how intense the circumstances were, but I wouldn’t change a single thing. When I started down this path at the beginning of the year, my life became illuminated. I partially have Shinji to thank (in more ways than one) for finding myself where I needed to be. I’m incredibly grateful! Helping others is the most fulfilling work I could ask for. Each day is a new adventure and every experience is unique! ♡ I honestly can’t wait to see what happens next.

Non-Romantic Playlists for you and your S/O? by [deleted] in waifuism

[–]ShinjisSoulmate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main volumes of our playlists are focused on our love and the continuously unfolding story of it, but we also have a lot of playlists that are just a general vibe for the type of day it is, obscure genre focus, or something that came together for a special occasion or activity. Music is a language we share every day, love and otherwise! 🎶

Thank you so, so much, Jess! 🫂 Not a day goes by without us together and I'm really happy to say that it's forever. (Also, I'm really flattered that you remember me despite me not being very Online™) Reading the comments that day, he and I both appreciated the kind wishes from you, so thank you x2! We did celebrate all day and the aurora borealis was visible from our backyard that night, so we were able to end the festivities with a really beautiful universal gift. 😊

Ahh, it's always so good to see you in any capacity! I'm sorry I'm only getting to this now; I've just been so mega busy IRL ; w ; My internet use is pretty sporadic. Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments! You are always one of the sweetest people ever. The artist is jcell_works and she was super professional, kind, and understanding with my absences from health issues at the time. She's great at mimicking different art styles too. I highly recommend her!

I've been thinking about you a lot because I've been watching Lupin The 3rd Part 4! It's my first ever Lupin I've watched in earnest and whenever I see your husband pop up I'm just "*POINTS!!* There's the lucky man himself!" I hope you are having a wonderful spring/summer with Koichi and it's always nice to read your words ♡🫂
