Our society is entranced with the idea that every soul is linked to another. No matter your social standing, race, religion, or geographic location; there is someone out in the world that was made to complete you.

Today's generation has become so transfixed with this notion - the only way to find true love is to find your soul mate - that we've created an entire media empire that focuses on finding our other halves. From more notable shows like "The Bachelor " to shows with extreme plot lines like "Dating Naked," it seems there are no limits to how far people will go to find love.

From TV to the Internet we are constantly bombarded by the concept that to be happy is to be in love. However, we are missing the point. Your soul mate is someone who you are connected to and with whom you share a bond that is based on love and loyalty.

So who is to say that you cannot find your soul mate in your best friend? Cristina Yang and Meredith Grey are fictional characters on the television show “Grey’s Anatomy” and they exemplify the possibility of finding your other half, in your best friend.
