Day 29 March 13, 2012

If anyone ever came and asked me if I believed in soul mates a year ago, I would have said I didn't know, but a while ago that changed. I believe whole-heartedly in soul mates now. In my earlier years I don't think I believed in soul mates because I had these boyfriends that I genuinely cared about, but there was always a problem of some sort. They always had something about them I didn't like; be it their friends or their hobbies, a family member, their habits or anything like that. I learned to either deal with these things or try to change them. How many of you readers have tried to change a boyfriend or girlfriend? Did you succeed? You can't force anyone to change for you! It's not fair! It's not possible. That is why they are all exes! I have to say, though, this last boyfriend I never wanted to change. He is the one who made me realize that there is such a thing as soul mates. When I realized this, I thought it was him. I don't think that's the case anymore, but nevertheless, he did make me believe. I have to thank him for that because I know now that I will never settle again. I asked him once if he believed in soul mates. He said he did and that he knew because of his grandparents. I think of my grandparents, too. Anyway, I believe in soul mates now because I think there is a person who is out there that is completely compatible with you; someone who doesn't make you settle or want to change them. In your eyes this person is flawless and fits you like a puzzle piece. This person will think you are flawless too, no matter how flawed you may be. Your soul mates will love you for who you are. Find that person and I believe you will live a long, happy life together. I can't help but wonder, though, how hard or easy it was for our grandparents to find their soul mates. They didn't have the technology we have today. Has the advances in technology evolved us into pickier people? I mean, my grandpa lived a mile or two away from my grandma growing up, but they didn't meet until after he came back from the war. Was it fate that they lived so close to each other? I don't know, but I wish it was still that easy. Do any of you have a story to share about your grandparents, parents, or your own soul mate? Go ahead and leave a comment below if you want to! Mommy&B
