Forget reality, i’ll take the Fairytale any day…..
I read recently in a book that there is no such thing as a soul mate. I’m not sure i like that. It kind of takes the wind out of my sails. In the world we are forced to live in, where everything thing is moving in fast forward and you have to run if you want to keep up, i find it kind of comforting to think out of all this mess that there is one person out there somewhere that would understand you perfectly and would love you no matter how badly you screwed up. The kind of person you could just sit with for hours without saying a word and walk away feeling it was the best conversation you’ve ever had. With all the bullshit (pardon the language) that we are forced to deal with in our lives on a daily basis, i think we have all earned the right to have a little bit of fairytale, whether it be for five minutes or a lifetime. This hope of having one perfect mate for everyone is what has gotten me through bad relationships, bad break-ups, and the loneliness that has a tendency to creep up on you when you’re single. I’d like to believe that i have found my soul mate already. He has never made me feel like i’m not good enough, he has stood by me even when i’ve screwed up or unintentionally hurt him. He just knows me…….better than i know myself. He knows exactly what to say to me when i’m sad and knows exactly when to tell me to get up and do something instead of complaining. He’s the kind of person that makes me feel lucky to be me, and get this we’ve lived over three thousand miles away from each other for about seven years now. If that isn’t a ” meant to happen” kind of thing, what is. There are a lot of great people out there and i think even though we need practicality, responsibilty, ambition and all the other things needed to succeed as people, that we all need a healthy side-order of happily ever after.

Wow… That’s ME!!!
I must say the same is true in reply. I hate to be Sappy… (no I dont) but ‘Liz’ and I have been through thick and thin and Distance… but always I have felt what she just wrote, deep into my heart. I am sure my Mom will love me no matter how much I screw up… but La.. "Liz" is the one who understands me and my mistakes and loves me any ways… She is the Best Mistake I’ve ever made… Letting her move away let us grow closer… Now however we have to work hard to fix that mistake…
We all make mistakes… but fairy tales always end right…
And "they lived happily ever after"

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Here’s some food for thought, did you know that your best friend regardless of sex could be your soul mate?
I forget where I read it, you can have more than one soul mate but only one true love of the happily ever after style.

Salem, yup i think it was in the same book that i read. I’m not sure i agree with the woman though, she does not believe in one perfect person for everyone she says it would be a waste of time to look for them. But i believe that the perfect person is out there for everyone and i also believe that it is fate that you should meet therefore there is no need to spend your life trying to find that person because it will happen when the time is right.

call me silly but i’m one of those annoying types that prefer to live in reality. Where Ether isn’t some supposed mystical substance but that damn organic liquid with an low boiling point that i play withmuch too often in the lab.
…..give me the atom anyday!

I believe in Soulmates but you really have to understand what having a Soulmate entales before you can really appreciate them. Of course, your idea of a soulmate may differ from mine or anyone elses, & I suppose your belief in Karma really has a place in deciding in that belief. Have you heard of Twin Flames? Apparently they’re ‘better than’ Soulmates but much more rare. Some believe that you meet anywhere from 100 to 500 Soulmates in your life; Others believe there are 5 or more different types of ‘Soulmates’. I don’t think it really matters if they exist or not.. We all have the choice to believe in what we want to believe in & as long as it (or he/she) makes you happy, I see no harm.
