“I am so glad we found each other. He is my soulmate” I heard my friend say as I somehow swallowed my soon to be jaded comment. I wanted to speak to bad, but knew that his was not the right place nor the right time. Why fuck up someone’s happiness with all your jaded baggage? Um…maybe because it need to be done?
Soul Mate. Two words, yet so big of a meaning. Is there really just ONE person for each one of us out there? Are there multiple soul mates? To be honest, my answer is..no. How can there be MULTIPLE people in this world that you share that one divine connection with? And also, is a soul mate a person? feeling? thing? spirit? WHAT THE HELL ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?!
Maybe its my jadedness talking, but I just cant move past that notion. But I ask myself…is there an “interim soul mate” that can be obtained on the way to your real soul mate? Taste tests, wine tasting, Pre-martial sex, they even let you try all the flavors in Cold Stone Creamery before you buy it. So why cant I get the same service for a soul mate?
“We even have the same zodiac sign…” my friend said.
If you dont have nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all. Isn’t it my duty as a good friend to smack my friend in the face and have them face reality? Have them answer, or at the very least…ask, the questions above ?
Blame me, but I took the cowardly way out…I smiled back and said…”Wow..that is sooo great! (insert cheesy, uninterested, phony smile here)”
I doubt we can know if a person is our soul mate or not. Logic, mine, seems to favor the last person we end up with as the one with whom we were meant to be. Too many interim soul mates in between, you say? 🙂 But who knows?!
Special LOL for “pre-martial” sex! I’m sure you meant ‘premarital’, but I didn’t know you view sex as a martial art. 😉
P.S. It’s endearing to read a man mention “connection” and “divine” in the same sentence.
“Harpo, when u ready…me and the kids be waitin'”
Sex as a “marial art”?? That sounds about right….
*martial 😉
