soulmate

in


Ok I thought maybe this was something only woman believed in, after all some of us spent half our life waiting for their prince to come, for that knight to pull up on that damn white horse and whisk us away, all the while reading Ms. magazine and shaking our boodies to Disco Inferno. Most of the married couples that i know or see are not "happily married" so does that mean your soul mate is actually someone else, and if so, who? Your childhood playmate, high school sweetheart, the guy down the street, next door, an unfaced blogger? or is the cruel reality -that they just don't exist, that only a lucky few ever find/keep this elusive thing called love. Ok I admit I'm jaded, suffer frequently from depression and am not in a happy marriage. So when you're done telling me what age you are, you can tell me all about your love life.

29 and I don't think I have "the love of my life" or a "soulmate." However, I do have a fantastic boyfriend and wonderful friends, and I think each one of these friends fulfills a specific need. When I want stimulating political discussion with someone who has known me longer than anyone else, I have a friend for that. I have another one for boytalk, and one person that I can talk to while in full cuddle mode.

I guess my point is that I don't keep all my friend eggs in one basket and that's been working for me.

32 -- I found my soulmate many years ago and married someone else. Seems stupid I guess. He even wrote me a letter a few weeks before my wedding asking me not to do it.

Sometimes I regret it, but most of the time I am happy to be with someone who doesn't move my soul, change my world, make me a better person. Maybe that is selfish.
