With this remark, Arturo reveals himself to be Yessica’s soul mate. Contrary to current pop mythology, spouses and partners are not really soulmates. Yeah they can call us on our shit, give great head and take out the trash. But soulmates they are not.
What soulmates do is show up at exactly the right time and show us something we didn’t see or understand before. They stick their boot in our butt to help us evolve.
At first, this “nothing’s got to be anything” idea made Arturo seem rather callous about Yessica’s impending nuptials. What he’s really saying, is it’s all okay if you can learn and grow from something — without deliberately hurting someone else in the process. He also points at impermanence as a fact of life in saying that marriage doesn’t have to be forever.
And since soulmates don’t always hang out forever, Arturo understood, if reluctantly, that Yessica had to block him in order to get married to Brandon with a clear conscience. 💋
