What is a soulmate to you?

Does it mean anything to you? Does it even exist in your reality? Have you met yours yet?

Will you ever?

Here is what I believe. A soul mate does not necessarily have to be a romantic partner or someone who fills that gaping hole in your life. Your soulmate(s) are more likely to be people you instantly feel a connection with, even if you have nothing in common and you can’t really explain why. But you feel it. You feel empowered and nothing can stop you.

You amplify each other’s abilities just through each other’s presence. However, at the same time you are not dependent on it. It’s as if you were running on 100% and suddenly your entire system is boosted to 500%; you see things differently and clearly.

Everything feels so easy now, and both of your minds and bodies can withstand so much more pressure they are put into. It’s like your super-powers had finally awakened and are at their maximum. Your hidden potential, untethered.

This could be your father, your child, teacher, friend, complete stranger and of course, your romantic partner.

Parting physically or emotionally from this person can be much more painful than a flesh wound. Even if you can function back at 100% it just doesn’t feel the same anymore without them. It hurts. It hurts so bad.

This is to everyone who is striving not to become dependent on someone else for anything in their lives and trying not to get attached to someone the same way again: We, as humans, are social and emotional. Though it is true you don’t NEED anyone in your life. If you don’t have anyone whom you can share those experiences with and care for, what kind of a life does it end up being anyway?

So go ahead, build your emotional walls. I know you’re soft on the inside. Build them as thick and tall as you want to. Many will try to budge and break that wall of yours, but when you finally meet him or her, those walls won’t exist for them as if they were simply never there to begin with.

Isn’t that the best, most pure kind of connection to have? Not dependent or co-dependent but interdependency; to connect with someone on such a deep level, effortlessly; to have such an intimate level of access to each other’s deepest feelings and thoughts instantly, but unintrusively.

Right then, who crossed your mind? Let me know in the comments!
