A short YouTube monologue (by Josh Trent) giving blunt relationship advice about 'soulmates.' The speaker defines a soulmate as someone who loves you enough to tell you the painful truth, serving as a mirror for your faults; the major claim is that one should prepare oneself to receive such a partner rather than rush to find one. The talk emphasizes mutual survival and personal maturity as prerequisites for a true soulmate relationship.

Don't be in such a hurry to find your soulmate, because if you really knew what a soulmate was, you wouldn't be in such a hurry to find your soulmate, because you'd be getting ready for your soulmate. Who's your soulmate? Your soulmate is the person that loves you so much, they will tell you exactly the truth of what they experience with you. For better or worse. They'll tell you when you're lying. They'll tell you when you're being an asshole. They'll tell you when you're not following through on your commitments. And if you're not ready for your soulmate, you will reject her and keep looking for the woman that you already had, and the next one will do the same shit to you. And eventually, you're going to have to stand face to face in the mirror and cry your goddamn eyes out because there's not anyone left to put up with your bullshit. So your soulmate is the mirror that God sends to you that will love you enough to let you do that for them. And if the two of you can survive each other, you've found your soulmate. If you don't survive each other, you're not mature enough to have a soulmate.
