deep thoughts... 42...
I was filling out one of those questionaire things and one fo the questions was: Do you believe in soulmates? It got me thinking.
When I was younger I believed there was one perfect person out there. I think partly a combination of too many romantic movies and too many romances books. I was ready for that one guy to come on scene. Bells and lights and heavenly music would apper and I would know and he would know... we were soulmates. But then I also believed I would have a "perfect" date for the prom. (Granted I had great fun with the girls I went with but no "perfect" date.)
Over many years of living real life I must say my ideas are a little different.
To the topic of Soulmates, I think God places people in ones life who are supposed to be there. People who for that moment in your life, however long that moment may be (days, weeks, years, a lifetime) understand you. People who bond with you at a greatly intense level.
I think this was true of Angela. She was meant to be in my life. I have always felt that way. She was for that time period, my soulmate. No one knew me better. Not in a romantic sense but there was no one I trusted more. I loved her deeply and she greatly influenced my life.
While we are no longer in each others live in the same sense I will always feel conected to her in some way.
There are some people who you automatically know you want in your life. You see them or talk to them and feel connnected. Others it grows. You may not feel it when you first meet but the longer they are in your life, you start to feel that life without them would be very sad.
So I guess what I believe is that some soulmates are just of the friendship kind. Others are of the friendship and passion kind. I have heard the stories of those who fall in love with that "perfect" person. Deenie and Daniel are like that. Love at first sight and all that. But for the most part I don't think there is one perfect person. I think there are people who are great matches but I think if for what ever reason if you lose one match you can find another. Different but equally enriching in ones life.
I think soulmates come when you need them. They come in many different varieties, friends, lovers, animals, whatever is the need at the time. And they stay for however long you need them.
