I have met people and without even speaking to them or knowing who they were, I got an instinct about that individual. You just get a conviction about them, something tells you that you need to know this person and once you know them, you usually can’t unknow them. You have an immediate connection the moment you start talking. You find out you could talk for hours – you discover that you are connected with that person in a way that is so rare. You just know that it’s not the typical connection because you vibe with them on a more synchronized and intense level.
As this connection develops over time, you discover a love so deep, strong and complex that sits deeply rooted and comfortably in your hearts that you start to wonder if you’ve ever truly loved prior to meeting this person. There are a few people whose souls have intense chemistry with ours. Their energy vibrates at exactly the same level as our own.
Your path cross with such people a couple of times, if you’re privileged enough, you get the chance to have them as friends or spouse. I call such people soulmates, soul brothers, soul sisters.
“A soulmate is someone that just gets you. It’s a connection of minds, mutual respect, unconditional love, and a total understanding. It’s about being yourself and knowing, not only that the person is following and understanding your thoughts but is right there with you, side by side. That’s some magical connection.Being able to click with someone so naturally is the best feeling ever. Feels like you’ve been best friends for years. You feel comfortable with them and have a lot in common. This person feels like home and it’s like one soul lives in separate bodies.
However, there’s a brooding question especially when it comes to romance – Is there just one person suited for each person on planet earth?
After all said, I definitely believe that soul mates exist but unfortunately, my dream of the “happily ever after” was shattered on more than one occasion. Finding “the one” turned out to be nothing like in the portrayal of Hollywood movies, and this concept seemed like a foolish fantasy sometimes so I adjusted the way I saw this.
When I was first in a relationship, I thought I had met “the one” as I had so much in common with that person; but somehow, everything dovetailed, and as time progressed, the relationship crumbled. I have also met people along my life journey whom I felt such deep connections with but not always in the dating space. Some were platonic friends; some were too young or too old to date, some were too far away and proximity won’t let us be great, others were already married. I also met soul sisters, yes! my fellow woman who just sparks up the most amazing conversations and surprisingly has the same values as myself. At some point, I was a skeptic about the idea but now I’m certain that soul mates indeed exist but I believe they exist in different people. If you agree with me, you must have met at least three people who possess the characteristics we outlined earlier.
The truth is no matter how much you feel for someone, no matter how deep your feelings run, there’s some other person who will make you feel twice as much as you feel with your current partner or best friend. At the end of the day, it boils down to respect, discipline, and contentment. Being with the one you’re most content with and is ready to go all the way with you is what matters. If you fall out with “the one” it doesn’t always mean he/she wasn’t your soulmate, it just means that there’s a lot more to relationships than being in LOVE. The next person will certainly raise the bar if you’re lucky enough to meet another soul mate.
So, the good news is that there’s more than one for everyone out there, and more importantly, they exist but not only romantically. You can have a soulmate in a sibling, a friend, a mentor, teacher, a significant other.
HAPPY MATING
