The Truth About Having A Soulmate

I want to find my twin flame instead

The Truth About Having A Soulmate
google.com

My first article on this platform was a letter to my soulmate, so I thought it would only be fitting if my last would be on the topic of soulmates. Recently my friend has helped me come to the realization of the truth about having a soulmate.

The truth is your soulmate doesn't have to be a lover.

For so long I was hooked on the need to have my romantic partner be my soulmate. While I do believe that a soulmate is an unbreakable bond that is your home, what's important is that your soul's mate can be anyone. It doesn't necessarily have to be your significant other; it can be your best friend. Moreover, I think in this lifetime, we can have more than one soulmate. In each relationship we encounter we are taught new ways to love and value each other, we are given a guide through emotional and spiritual issues, and even provided with a new perspective on life. Whether it is a close friend or your lover, I believe several people can satisfy that kind of connection and fulfill those purposes.

But forget finding a soulmate, I want to find my twin flame. Upon my research on the reality of soulmates I learned of a new concept. I can have much deeper connection than a soulmate: a twin flame.

"Twin Flames are very different and very rare. Twin Flames are two people in two separate bodies that share the same Soul. Twin Flames meet each other in their first incarnation so that they remember the soul frequency of the other being. They are then usually reunited on their last time to this planet. If Twin Flames meet before they are ready they can be the total opposite and not at all compatible. When Twin Flames meet and are ready for each other, it is the most enjoyable experience possible on Earth." - Arianni Masters

The difference between a soulmate and a twin flame? You can have many soulmates but only have one twin flame. Your twin flame is a rare kind of love; it carries the other half of your soul and is considered to be your mirror.

"According to the mythology of twin flames, in the beginning of time we were created from one source that was split into smaller and smaller units down to two souls (and on rare occasions, halves of one soul) that would journey to Earth to learn and experience duality. They would reincarnate over lifetimes with this longing for each other."

Who wouldn't want this kind of intensity in a relationship? This kind of love is the ultimate embodiment of yin and yang. It's someone you're vehemently drawn to because even if you are apart from them for a period of time, you will find your way back to them. And when you are apart it can physically and mentally hurt the two of you. Yet when you're together, the growth you experience and the lessons you learn comes with an incredible amount of passion; it can be almost healing.

Of course I'd be grateful for anything but if I'm lucky, I'll have both.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
