so ive been thinking about soul mates a little bit recently. ive thought long and hard about it and evaluated it but i cant come to the conclusion if i believe in them or not.
what if there are soul mates. what if you think you guys are soul mates but they dont have the same feelings. does that mean then that you are in fact not soul mates? what if you are soul mates and neither of you know it. well i guess soul mates are more of a fate thing so in the words of fate if its meant to be then it is meant to be.
but what if there is no such thing as soul mates. there are billions of people in the world how could just one be your soul mates? what are the chances of even finding them?
what do you think?

Define soul mate. What does that even mean? My soul is not complete without them? They are the perfect compliment to me?
I dont believe in soul mates. Does that mean I've wasted my life up to this point because I am not being half of someone else's whole?
I think not.
I think different people bring different things to your life. I think searching for a soul mate is limiting. I dont think my soul needs another soul to be happy. I think other people add to my existence and happiness and more than anything else it has to do with just being plain old human.
People need people.

Who knew Babs was so wise?
I'm with reckenroll on this one - though she may have wasted her life up to this point - having too darn much fun living the single life!!
I don't think there is just one someone for you - I think there are probably lots of someones who could be just fine. I think there's lots of people I connect with, both male and female - but soul mates - not so much.
I think soul mates is a hollywood concept. I heard that the movie Jerry Maguire did a lot of damage to the mindset of women with the "you complete me" line.
I really think you need to let your mom, katie and I choose your soul mate for you!!!
im not looking for a soulmate! i was just curious about the topic. :)
not now silly rabbit - when you're 30!!
I don't believe in soul mates. But I do know that without your dad you wouldn't be you ( or even here)
Yes! I am with Aunt Val! Babs is brilliant (I literally almost used that line in my blog on this topic) and NOT UNTIL YOUR 30!!
Ha!
xoxoxo
You are right to be wary of the term "soul mates" and to ask the question of whether amongst billions that you will find what you are looking for. "Soul Mates" and other other such terms are usually constructed by poets who are notoriously flaky.
What I've found, and what you'll probably find are that there are people in your life who you will get along with to a greater or lesser degree. Perhaps with some you'll be lovers and when you're busy being infatuated with each other and trading tender endearments you'll use a phrase like "soul mates." When I use that soul prefix I think of someone who I'm intensely close to but you don't need to use it just for a "mate" I've known soul siblings, soul friends, and any other variant you want to put in there.
To me it is just a way of saying someone is important. If your point of view is to say that you and this person were meant for each other... well... I think it is dangerous to try to involve fate in your personal relationships. If the importance of that one relationship is built up too high it may not be able to support its own weight.
In the end the whole idea of fate is kind of silly to me. The universe we live in only happens once - it follows naturally that we are supposed to meet the people we meet, otherwise we would meet someone else and and some other set of events would happen instead. You should try to live your life the way you want to live it and your "fate" will take care of itself.
