Soul-mates
Do soulmates exist? I did not always believe so. I changed my mind in high school and it has been recently reinforced. In high school I had a teacher that spoke of his wife with such love and passion I couldn’t help but believe in soul-mates. Sometimes we would find ourselves listening to his stories and just staring at the wedding ring he still wore at all times, although his wife had been deceased for five years at that point. He never stopped loving her.
Although I believe that there can only be one soul-mate for a person, I do believe that there maybe more than one person in the world that could make you happy. I think that is why some people can have a good marriage and life, but still meet the person of their dreams later. Sometimes you can meet the perfect person for you…after you are already committed to someone you feel you can be content with for the rest of your life. I believe a soul-mate is something more than just someone you are happy/content with.
I believe a soul-mate is someone you are connected with…someone you relate to on all levels. Someone you can have deep discussions with, cuddle on the couch and watch a thriller or a stupid comedy (which ever you were in the mood for), of course there would need to be a sexual connection for the relationship to work. I believe that soul-mates enjoy each other’s company but know when they need their space. I also believe that at times it can completely catch you off guard.
What if you find your soul-mate after you have your life set up and everything is going well….do you change everything to have your true love in your life? Or do you stick with what you know is working……Sometimes you find someone who will make you moderately happy…and sometimes you can find someone perfect for you. It’s up to you if you let the opportunity pass you by or not.

i’ve heard that in relationships, the best you can hope for is 80-85%. you only get 4 outta every 5 things you want. we all spend our 20′s fighting the good fight, vowing never to acquiesce or settle. but life beats us down, ya know? we find something that works and we don’t wanna mess it up. by this time, life’s taught us some valuable lessons… the grass aint always greener. ya know? reaching for the stars doesn’t mean you’ll ever grab one – you just look foolish with your hand out. holding out for a 10 leads to many lonely nights. so you have to reassess your mission: is it the feel of the sex or the look girl you’re after? Make a call, brother, pull five 2′s and call it a night.
the fact is that we spend the much of our lives confused as to what we want. sometimes what we want makes us cry. sometimes what we want sets us up for failure in other ways. i’m struggling with these same thoughts as i type this. Deal or no Deal? Put up or shut up, right? i just don’t know. sometimes making the sensible decision makes one feel like he’s carving on his own soul with a jagged piece of glass.
