| What's this idea of the "soul mate"? Why are we all walking around like zombies looking for this thing that everybody longs for but that nobody seems to find? Or just a lucky few...like the lottery. Imagine us all feeling like there's a hole in us and that our lives lack something because we haven't won the lottery? (lol). I realize more and more that we are not meant to be isolated, but aren't there other ways to not be alone in life? Why not stick to some close friends or family members the way we would to a "partner"? Why do we need that excuse of being "married" or "dating" to "stick" to somebody? To get close to them and get to know them? Why not do that with some of the awesome people we have in our lives now? As I go, the idea seems more and more illusory to me. Some kind o hologram conditioned in us, conveniently fed by Hollywood movies and bubblegum music. THe idea of the "soul mate" that everybody's after but nobody seems to really find. What about being happy now? What about not needing an excuse to keep in touch with people for long enough to develop those kind of deep relationships that we develop with a "partner"? And then if it happens to you, if you find someone that fits into that whole soulmate idea, it will be this bonus in your life. but you won't need it. Seems like that's when things come to you anyway...when you less need them or look for them. Why do we have this tendency to always feel like something's missing/lacking? Could it be that nothing is but our mind is too busy in the past/future to notice it? Could it be the present is completely full of everything you'll ever need if you can just be in it? I think I decide today not to walk around with a self- imposed lack in me anymore. I decide to notice some of the precious people in my life right now and make them my soul mates. Women, man, young and old...they all are anyway. But I choose not to need such speciphic excuses to take the time to see that. |
