Penny For My Thoughts

So once again my friend Katie has got me thinking. This is something she is very good at. She can just ask a question and well by the way she puts it it can make your mind run crazy. The other night she posted this question on twitter "Do you believe you can be together with your soulmate forever?"  To me this is a very indepth question and one I have never really thought about. Katie started thinking about this question after she read Eat, Pray, Love. She read me the passage out of the book that got her mind running on this topic. So I got to thinking about her question (and the passage from the book) and just the thought of soulmates all together and I thought I would share a little bit of my thoughts on it. I know not everyone will agree with me or think the same way I do and thats ok, but I thought it was a vey interesting topic and worth blogging about!

First I am going to let everyone know what the meaning of soulmate is to me. I think a soulmate is someone that can see inside you and knows you just as well if not better than you know yourself. They are someone that helps you see yourself in a different light and helps you understand things you can't/don't about yourself. They see all your faults and positives and it doesn't change anything about how they feel about you.

Most people think your soulmate is your other half, the person that completes you and your significant other. But I am not so sure if this is always the case. I say this because I think their is a chance that you can have more than one soulmate in your lifetime. I feel like the reason why a lot of people think their soulmate is their significant other is because of love. I think love is blind and the feelings that you have for that person are so strong that you think they complete you and are your soulmate and you never think about anyone else being a soulmate. I think you can have a soulmate that has no romantic connection to you at all. Maybe your best friend is your soulmate. Maybe we can have more than one soulmate in our lifetime?

This brings me to the second question Katie brought to my attention, "Does your soulmate stay in your life forever?" For me this is a yes and no answer. I believe at times a person comes into our life and they are meant to be here forever and help us work through all the good and bad times we have. But I also think that at some points in your life for one reason or another you meet your soulmate but it just doesnt workout for them to stay in your life. People come in and out of our life all the time. Their is always a reason for them coming into out life and a reason for them leaving. These people always teach us something about ourselves or our life and that is something I believe a soulmate does! Which brings me back to my thought that we might just have more than one soulmate throughout our life!

I know this is a very interesting and deep topic to talk about and that not everyone shares the same view that I do and im ok with that! I just wanted to share all these crazy thoughts that have been going through my head over the past few days. I am sure that my thoughts will continue to evolve on this topic and maybe at some point I will post again to update you on how they have changed. I am very open and welcoming to other peoples thoughts on this subject so if you ever want to talk about it hit me up!
