A soul mate is believed to be the person that you were meant to be with. It is said that with time and patience everyone eventually encounters their soul mate. However, what if you have more than one?
A soul mate is supposed to be the one person in this world who knows you better than you do. They are your best friend. They inspire you to be the absolute best you can be. They know your past and accept who you are now over the person you used to be. They see through your flaws although most of the time they believe your flaws are one of the many things that contribute to your beauty. You believe they are unlike anyone else you have ever met. You trust them with your hopes and dreams. You know they will keep your secrets. Their smile is the sweetest you know. Their laugh makes you joyful even when you’re having a bad day. Just having their presence can make your day better instantly. Deep down inside you know that they are the one you were meant to be with.
Doesn’t that describe every real relationship you’ve had? You think you found the one and that nobody could replace them. At first sure everything is fine, then you break up and find someone new, and before you know it this new person is becoming “the one” that was meant for you. We are all guilty of this. I’ll be the first to say I am. So who’s to say we only have one soulmate?
I believe that people do have more than one soul mate. Some may not agree but just think about this idea. For example, think about your everyday crushes. There are many people that you find “hot,” “attractive,” “cute,” etc., but just because you find interest in this person does not mean you would consider a relationship with them. Don’t act like that statement isn’t true. I myself have plenty of friends who are very attractive, but I would not consider dating half of them. There is nothing wrong with them, they are all great people but they simply “aren’t my type.” With that being said, among these people you eventually find those few that stand out. It’s like an automatic spark of attraction that comes out of nowhere. You may not know them but you know there is something different about them. There’s something that makes you want to get to know them. Could this be a sign that you have just found one of your soul mates? I think that is quite possible.
Just think about it. If you have ever had more than one relationship that you have fallen deeply in love with your partner then you should have a better time understanding. You felt love for both of them at some point in your life. You might argue and say this person was a mistake and that led you to the right one. However, you had the same feelings toward each of them. At one time you knew both of their hopes and dreams, they knew everything about you, and every time your phone rang you hoped it would be them. It was the same series of events, just a different person. This is why I find it hard to believe that we can’t have more than one soul mate. You find this special bond with multiple people and that narrows down to the ones that are your soul mates. Then over time you finally find the one.
With this idea, it brings hope to many. A lot of people believe they will never find their soulmate, but maybe they have found a few already and just don’t see it yet. So if you are feeling down about that great relationship you had that just ended, or you are feeling lonely being single, keep your head up and keep looking. You have plenty of wonderful soul mates out there that you haven’t even met yet. Don’t give up because eventually you will have your happily ever after with “the one” for you.
