Dear Katherine,

Do you believe in true love and soul mates?

—Adele

My dearest Adele,

Do I believe in true love?

I do. Not the storybook kind—honestly, glass slippers give you blisters, and most “princes” turn out to be disappointments in velvet. But true love? The kind that feels like fate without asking you to vanish for it? That’s real.

And here’s the secret: you won’t always find it in grand gestures. Sometimes it shows up in the way someone remembers how you take your coffee. In the pause before they speak—because they’re actually listening. In the mundane moments that suddenly feel electric just because they’re there.

True love can be wild or steady. Fleeting or forever. And soul mates? That’s when all the right things align: the right person, the right timing, and the version of you that’s ready to be seen as you are. Timing is everything. Trust me—I’ve had centuries to learn that.

So yes, darling. Believe in it. But know that it’s not always loud. Sometimes, it whispers. And if you’re paying attention—you’ll hear it.

With all my wicked little heart,
Katherine 🖤
