Soul Searching

do you really think soul mates exist? i was having this conversation with my sister the other day...she thinks you're destined to meet certain people in your life especially soul mates. but what about the old maids and the bachelors? do they just choose to ignore their soul mates and thus end up alone for life? what's that about really? did destiny just have it out for them, and they were meant to be lonely? how about if you spend your whole life searching and never find the one you're meant to be with? if each one of us is meant to have a soul mate, then wouldn't it be our destiny to meet that person sooner than later? doesn't quite make sense to me. i think rather that it's chance that you meet this person...and not predestination. being at the right time at the right place. i guess now that i think about it, your soul mate doesn't have to be a lover. they can be your best friend. maybe it's the old maid's cats. who knows really.

my other question is...do you only have one soul mate? What if you felt like you met that person but you ignored it or due to certain circumstances, it just didn't work out? What happens then? Was that person not your real soul mate since you should be destined to be together. Or if you do finally meet, are you destined to be together forever? or are there certain time spans for some mates? Do you never meet another? Maybe our souls are broken into several pieces to be reunited with many and differing people through out our entire life. How does this work exactly?

now that my boyfriend and i broke up due to the extenuating circumstances, well i feel like all hope is lost. well i was never sure i was meant to be with my ex, but i do feel that it's hard to get to know someone, and have them accept you for who you are and all your ways, and to finally feel comfortable. it takes so much time to establish a relationship, and why go through all that again? why do people need companionship and a partner? why is it that we never feel complete without a significant other? When you have a nice place to live, and a stable career, it's never enough. you need the perfect man too, right? i think Sex and the City covered this topic once, and I forgot the conclusion. i guess love is a drug that you can't get enough of even if it hurts sometimes, and you go through withdrawal, it always seems worth it once you have that high so that's why so many people are willing to give it a try.

God, i miss my cable...see what happens ? I can just babble endlessly...
