soul mate

?s?l ?m?t/ 

-a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner.

What is a soulmate, in all honesty? I mean, everyone has their own definition of the deep, meaningful word, right? Fairly recently, I had been asked what my definition of the word was, well here goes nothing at my adaptation of a soulmate. 

A soulmate, to me, is someone you can feel within yourself that you know is meant to be with you for the rest of not only your life, but theirs as well. It’s someone who just gets you. Someone that loves you on a deeper level than a family member or just a friend could ever love you. It’s someone who wants to be with you and only you for the rest of eternity. 

A soulmate keeps you on their mind not twenty-four seven, but most of the day and keeps them in their thoughts through every decision they’ll ever have to make. 

My soulmate? Well, I didn’t know it at the time, but I met him at the really young age of nineteen in A11 of Target Springfield-West. His name? John T. Kilgore.

I feel as if a soulmate isn’t someone you look for and put effort into looking for. It’s someone that comes to you, with little to no warning, on either end. It’s completely unexpected, but it’s the best surprise they pair will ever get in their lives. 

You, in all honesty, cannot just sit around and wait for “Prince Charming” or “Cinderella” to come to you. Nor can you keep swiping left and right on peoples pictures to see if you’re a match with the person, simply because it just won’t happen. Love finds you, you don’t find it.

Love can be very complicated. It’s probably one of the hardest feelings you’ll ever endor, but it’s the best feeling you’ll ever feel at the same time. Love is rare these days, with what you hear in the news, divorce rate going up, down and all around. You’ve got the really cherish what you have with your soulmate, because it’s your one and only for life. 

Life is precious. A lot of people miss out on opportunities on love because they’re either too afraid, or too much of a ‘chicken’ to admit they love someone. But all in all, love is worth it in my book. Love is special and a soulmate is rare, take it run.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
