“Soul Mate” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
Unique is an interesting word. Depending on how it’s used, it can make someone feel special, or it can make someone feel alienated. Maybe that’s what stands out so much about the word itself, that it has the power to lift someone up while also weighing them down.
