Now, let me say this first. Usually, I look at everything logically. I'm generally even pretty cynical, and analyze my relationships. Even though most of my relationships I've been in have been long-term, I've always felt like I was settling, but I was thinking there was no such thing as those fireworks people talk about. That this so called unconditional love was nothing, but a farce. I didn't believe there was something so unconceivable as soul-mates. Someone else that made you feel whole, oh come on.. and, I do have to say I have been in love.. and I know that because when I broke up with that person I was hurt, and felt pain.. but, I had no idea how much you could actually love someone until later. Then I met someone and all those cliche's became real. Would you believe I rolled my eyes at myself.. then there was a big part of me that was flying high, and so elated and enthralled with this person that analyzing this relationship and the feelings that I was having wasn't even an option. I also must add that during this time, and currently I was having a lot of problems with my health, problems that would make me have to face my mortality head on. This person came into my life when I was ready to give up. Why? I'm not sure, some people can say it was a gift from God. Someone else can say as soul-mates subconciously we knew when the other person would need us the most.. or some people can say it was a fluke. Who knows really. I don't pretend to have the answer. Now, the only way I really explain this is.. pretend you wrote a list, listing all the qualities you wanted in another person. Then you find someone that fits all of those things, and more you didn't even realize. Someone that mirrors you, but not every single thing.. enough differences to make it not boring. Imagine finding someone that's had the same dreams as you, your entire life. Imagine finding someone that the thought of being away from them makes you feel as if you can't breathe. That if something ever happened to that person that you'd cease to exist as well. Imagine that you found someone that your feelings run so deep for this person that the word love couldn't even begin to encompass all your feelings. I did find that person.. so, coming from someone who was a cynic.. who thought that soul-mates weren't real.. I'd have to say now that they are.
