"Maybe My Soulmate Died is about missed connections and the anxiety of being single. The plausibility that you missed out on experiencing your one true love because you didn't step out of your comfort zone and take a risk."

Shane’s raw honesty serves as a reminder to let go of the fear of rejection and take opportunities when they arise.
