True Love / Soul Mates

Written July 22, 2008.

Now, let's a take a look at the concept of true love and soul mates. Many people believe that there is one person out there for you. One person who you're meant to be with. Now, I used to believe this, but recently I've been thinking.

What if there's someone who you're deeply in love with, but they don't love you back? Then you're not meant to be. I mean, you don't have to give up on them right away. There's always a chance. But you shouldn't spend the rest of your life pining away for them.

You can find someone else. Someone who actually has feelings for you. And you could grow to love someone else. Or you could meet someone who you love more than the other person.

The thing is, what if you still love person A? The one who doesn't care for you. And then person B comes along and you decide you like them a lot. Is it wrong if you want to be with B because you can't be with A? And I don't mean being with them because they're there, but being with them because you DO care about them, even if you might love them less.

But if you DO decide to be with B, do you think by being with them, your love could grow and become even stronger of that of A? And will you still have feelings for A?

Anyways, onto the next subject.

Soul mates?

I used to believe soul mates could exist. One soul mate. But seriously. One person out of six billion?

Maybe there's more than one person out there. To even the odds, you know? Think how screwed you'd be if you found more than one. Could you? How many are there?

I keep going in circles in my head trying to figure it out. Trying to give love some logic. Yeah, right. Logic and love don't mix, apparently.

What about if something complicated is going on? If you're in a difficult situation, if it was difficult enough, it'd be hard to stick with someone, even if they were your soul mate. In a simple situation, you could be with someone you don't love a whole lot.

But if you had to deal with something, it would push the limits of your love and see if you were really meant to be.

Some couples are pushed too hard and never find out.
Some aren't pushed enough and find out too late.
It sucks to be in either of those positions.

I don't even know where I was going with this.
Just trying to get it out of my head. :]
If you read this, lemme know if it was fucked up or sounded at least a little right.
