Soulmates

Soulmate Definition (semi-borrowed from a fellow blogger): 

A person with whom you have an immediate connection the moment you meet -- a connection so strong that you are drawn to them in a way you have never experienced before. As this connection develops over time, you experience a love so deep, strong and complex, that you begin to doubt that you have ever truly loved anyone prior. Your soulmate understands and connects with you in every way and on every level, which brings a sense of peace, calmness and happiness when you are around them. And when you are not around them, you are all that much more aware of the harshness of life, and how bonding with another person in this way is the most significant and satisfying thing you will experience in your lifetime. You are also all that much aware of the beauty in life, because you have been given a great gift and will always be thankful.

I personally do believe in soul mates.  I think that sometimes, people will be lucky enough to meet their soul mate while living here on earth.  But sometimes, your soul mate may have been born in a different time, or a different place.   They may have already lived their life, and be waiting for you in heaven.

I know for a fact that I DO have a soul mate.  I feel very lucky in knowing this, and I feel sorry for anyone who believes that soul mates do not exist, because I know they do.

I understand that some people just don’t believe in it, and that is fine.  Maybe they think that believing in soul mates makes you unable to settle with someone.  But I say that “settling” is not the best thing, whether you believe in soul mates or not.  You should truly believe that there is nobody better in the world for you, than the person you are with.  Otherwise you won’t be very happy.  You might even be miserable.  You should wait until you find someone you have a great connection with.

I grew up in a church that believes you can have an “eternal companion” but not a soulmate…  And I do not agree.  What’s the difference?  An “eternal companion” is someone that you met on earth, with NO preordination of any kind.  And you simply decided later on that you wish to spend eternity together.

But a soul mate is more someone that you were predestined to be with.  Someone that the creator made specially for you, or perhaps made you specially for them.  Or both.

Sure, we all want to spend our earth life with our soul mate.  But  this life on earth really is so short, and spending eternity with them is far more important.  Still, you should always keep your eye out for your soul mate while living on earth, because if you should happen to be lucky enough to meet them here, it would be nice to spend time with them.  Be with them.

I’ve had bad luck in relationships, but I still believe in love and soul mates.  Believing in them makes me happy, and life is too short not to be happy.  Also, I’ve had many, many dreams about my soul mate throughout my life.  Dreams in which he felt so real, he was undeniable!  And I know he is out there in the world.  I believe I will be with him some day.
