Soul mates

189. The idea of soul mates instantly triggers a spark of interest in me. What is a soul mate? A quick search on the internet reveals so many inconclusive things- beliefs that border on the absurd and the intensely romantic notions of two separate halves to be united. That the very purpose of life is to find "the one" is something to be questioned. Who is "the one" who is your "soul mate"? Some people believe that the person whom they are currently with romantically is "the one", even after all the failed relationships they've undergone. Even after all the "the ones" turned out to be "wrong ones" they continue to believe in that notion. We used to be four-legged creatures split into two by the old gods, fearing our power as whole human beings. Some beliefs regard soul mates as one soul, split into two, destined to search for each other in each reincarnation of their lives. Only then, after finding the other, will they return to God. Another theory is that we were all married in heaven by God, and after being born here on earth, we find the one God meant for us. Of all these theories I like the last one best because it would mean that there is someone for each of us, all we have to do is find them. I believe that we, as human beings, were never meant to be alone. If our God is love then He has always meant us to experience that love in our fellow human beings. A life partner is one of the best ways to fill that longing that has been engraved deep into our souls, whether we recognize it or not. To love and be loved is the greatest thing in all of the universe. It is important to recognize our soul mate when he or she comes along but what is the most important is making yourself into the best person you can be, the you that God meant for you to be, and the you your partner deserves. If you focus on being "the one" then "the one" will just come along naturally that's what I believe. Like flowers and bees. I met my soul mate in my dreams and I met him in real life. The one I was waiting for. I found him in you. I must be so lucky to find you so soon in this life. You have made my life more meaningful in so many ways. I cannot thank you enough. Although we may occasionally drive each other insane. I cannot love you enough, my soul mate. I will love you forever.
