If you could have a conversation with your future self, what's the one question you'd ask?
I would probably ask
"Do we ever learn how to have boundaries with love interests?"
Honestly something I needa work on.
So if this gets 1000 notes, I'll work on that

Tumble’s soulmate heartbreak concept!
So this has been sitting in my files for months now. All I remember from why I came up with this is that it was for a Jedtavius soulmate AU - that never ended up happening.
I don’t know what to do with it, or if I’ll ever even use it – so, I’m sharing it! Feel free to use this lil creation of mine – or ask questions about it, if something isn’t clear :)
Constructive criticism is also welcome, as this is the first “sickness” I’ve made up for creative purposes
Soulmate heartbreak
Heartbreak: a condition that is caused by being rejected by one's soulmate. The severity varies, depending on the type of rejection. The worse the rejection/breakup, the worse the heartbreak.
Heartbreak is usually dangerous and can be fatal, but milder cases occur when the breakup/rejection is smooth and both parties are in understanding.
Symptoms:
Heartbreak starts with a quick decline of mental health, depression is usually present and noticeable after a week or so – though it can take up to a month.
The victim will shut down, refusing to take care of themselves and essentially become bedridden. Chest pains are present from the very start and will gradually grow worse as the heartbreak worsens. After this, they will start having on and off fever, that will gradually become worse, rise higher and last longer. The victim will often refuse to eat and drink, has night terrors and as it worsens, starts having feverish dreams about their soulmate. They will often feel too hot and cold at the same time, struggle to stay still as the chest pains grow worse and in the most extreme cases struggle with breathing. Without treatment, these symptoms will most likely last a lifetime or only worsen.
In worse cases, the victim might lose touch with reality and struggle recognizing people around them, even close friends and family.
Death through heartbreak:
The most severe cases of heartbreak will end with the victim dying. Their fever will rise and their night terrors and touch on reality will worsen suddenly, often just overnight. In most cases they will have hallucinations of their soulmate and mumble about them - if they still have enough strength to do so. Their chest pains will be severe and often just moving them will cause agony.
At this point, it's often too late to save them. They will pass away, most likely in pain and delirious.
Sometimes victims also die of starvation or dehydration after failing to take care of themselves.
Possibilities on recovery:
Healing heartbreak is possible, but doesn't happen often – mostly due to the victim refusing to get help, as they feel like it won’t end the grief. The victim can mend their heart on their own, through a lot of therapy and the process often includes removing their soulmate mark (which in turn would remove any feelings of love and attraction they have towards their soulmate). Most refuse this, as they cling on to the hope that their soulmate will love them back eventually.
Their soulmate can also help them mend their condition, if they change their mind on the rejection. This process is slow and requires a lot of effort and dedication. Both parties have to be willing to give each other a chance, recreating the connection between soulmates. They would have to spend time together and be open about their feelings towards each other. The love and bond between them will slowly mend heartbreak - the process often takes up to six months.
In cases where the soulmate of the victim still doesn’t return their feelings, it is best for them to stay apart and end any contact – as their presence might risk a relapse for the recovered victim.
Affects on the soulmate:
Heartbreak can be two sided. Sometimes, the person who rejected the other can feel chest pains and their overall mood will decline noticeably, making them more aggressive and frustrated. They might have occasional nightmares and be more paranoid. This ends once the heartbreak is healed or the other member passes.
Note - it is extremely rare for the heartbreak to be nearly as bad for the one who ended the relationship/rejected their soulmate, but it is possible: if they were to regret their actions but not try to reach out to their soulmate, there is a chance that they will slowly begin to go through the same symptoms. This will be a far slower process for them as they are not the one who got rejected.

Vent How.
Wanting to write so many emotions out
So much anger. Sadness. Upset and more.
Yet these harsh thoughts barely pass my tongue
Even rarer for them to be written down
Maybe I’ll write an angry poem
And let a flame eat all of those words
I’m responsible for finding my outlet
Can’t keep these emotions bottled up inside
Life recently has been hell
But I’ve strapped myself into this ride
Currently I feel numb
Except it’s a good feeling of numbness
I’ve entered a different ride
One I’m finally excited for this time
Here goes nothing
I’m ready for a change
Ready for this physical life
To match up emotionally again
