Saab Magalona’s Sweet Message To Jim Baccaro Reminds That Soulmates Do Exist
When the world has made us harsh and cynical, sweet messages like Saab Magalona’s to her husband, Jim Bacarro, remind us that there’s more to life than the constant difficulties.
When difficulties in Life start piling up, it can make us harsh, and cynical, and even lead us to what celebrity mom Saab Magalona mentions in one of her posts: self-sabotage. While some discover how to empower themselves and become mindful of the former, others find the motivation to not do so when they find someone to believe in them. In Saab Magalona’s case, she found it in her husband Jim Bacarro, calling him her “soulmate” upon realizing her two near-death experiences within six years.
“I made excuses and found reasons to push him away,” she admitted, recalling the time she self-sabotaged. “But he didn’t take my BS. The love he gave me pushed me to find evidence that I am worth it.”
She realized she was. “I’M WORTHY OF LOVE. I always have been. We all have intrinsic value not tied to any external thing or achievement in this world.”
When we can’t see our self-worth, it’s our soulmates who do
While the foundation of our self-worth comes from our childhood and how our parents responded to our needs, some drastic things in life can shatter it. Near-death incidents, constant abuse and trauma — both physical and emotional, loss of loved ones, and even a sudden fulfillment of dreams can shake us to our very core. It can make us doubt if we really are worth anything when we can’t achieve that one thing we set out to do.
But that’s because we sometimes suffer what many call “tunnel vision.” We fixate; our one-way, intense focus comes from our determination to achieve. Yet when it doesn’t happen due to circumstances we believed we could control and didn’t, we can barely see the little bits of good that came out from trying. To break that focus, it sometimes takes a soulmate to make one feel as Saab describes “like I’m the most wonderful person to ever walk this earth.”
“Kasi naman he makes me feel so so so loved,” Saab beams. “Jim saved me both times because in my head “oh nooo kawawa naman sya pag nawala ako…” hehehehe. I’m half kidding. But It’s so crazy because I used to struggle with my self-worth.”
The old adage: “You complete me.”
Many people still believe in finding that “perfect other half” in the universe, wondering if someone would love them for who they are. It’s easy to get swept up into that, especially when we’ve been disillusioned by all the hard things that have happened. But the truth is, some of us may have found that “perfect other half.” We sometimes forget that our soulmates aren’t supposed to solve our life’s problems. Rather, they’re there to empower and support us to do so. The same way Saab Magalona and Jim Bacarro do as husband and wife.
“But seriously, I owe my confidence and grace to my wonderful soulmate. ILY @jimbacarro. You are my favorite person to ever walk this earth,” Saab ends her appreciation post.
Saab Magalona and Jim Bacarro have currently two kids: Vito and Pancho.
