SOULMATES?
Do you believe that there exists one single individual whom complements you to a tee?
Would he or she be defined as your soul mate?
What are the defining characteristics of a soul mate? A match made in heaven?
If you were to sell your soul to the devil, would that make him your 'soul mate'?
All kidding aside, I do not hold much regards for this term. It is quite idealistic and I am not the kind to dream. I do believe in love, in relationships, and in sacrifice. I also believe that it is possible to have had shared these feelings with more than one person.
Have you not ever been in more than one relationship? If not, this will not apply to you. But for most, we've shared more than one love in our life. Cough it up - how many times have you been guilty of the words 'I LOVE YOU' to more than one previous partner? Perhaps they were different levels of love and some now branded as stupid, childish, blind or all of the above, but we did once feel so strongly for more than one individual. If you revisit memory lane, is there not one partner in which you felt the most for, whether it be in the past or in the current?
If your answer is 'in the past', then how can he/she possibly have been "THE ONE"? The two of you have gone separate ways and the feelings are no longer mutual. It's a sad story nonetheless yet facing the harsh truth of reality can only benefit you. And if he/she exists in the present, then congratulations to you! Do everything in your best interest to not screw it up.
A soul mate is one of the highest compliments one can receive. Being someone's fantasy girl is quite another - another topic of its own. Anyhoo, being one's soul mate shoulders a ton of weight as well. It's more like a occupational title than anything.
PROFESSIONAL SOUL MATE
seeking to fulfill your every want and need
John Doe's June 1999 - June 2003
- cooked five star meals
- performed sexual duties at every request
- washed & folded not only his, but also his twin brother's laundry
- maintained household chores
- kissed parents' asses
- handled all bills including his porn subscriptions
- bankrolled all of his debts
- chaueffered him to destinations of his choice
- smiled when he burped, farted or got wasted
- spoke only when allowed
[I hope you get the picture i'm painting here, cuz i'm certainly not. My thoughts tend to collide at a four-way intersection.]
So being the pessimist that I am, I do not believe in soul mates, santa claus, the tooth fairy nor prohibition. I do believe that there's someone out there that is able to put up with my occasional fits, can crack me up with just his smile, and that can neutralize me when my tempermental levels are off the charts. Maybe I've already found him, maybe I haven't. Who knows. One thing I do know is that what I seek in my life-long partner, my so-called soulmate, is that he is going to be my best friend, my 'dawg' 4-life (pun intended)
