Quote
“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...” ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

I was searching quotes and came across this one, I'm a total romantic and do believe in soul mates but it's probably the first time I've seen this type of description for one and I think going by my track record she may have it spot on.

I've been through a couple of bad break ups and both I would have considered them my soul mates until of course the relationships ended. In fact they made me stronger and more determined to make sure I never make the same mistakes again. So maybe there were my soul mates after all, just passing through.

Have you met your soul mate?

Thought I had, but all she turned out to be was a leech. Took me for £5,000 - long story!

Someone famous, I forget who, said that "when you search for love, you fail to find it, when you aren't you find it in spades". Whilst my quote may not be verbatim it's essentially the same as was said.

I've given up on looking for Miss Right as I fear that she doesn't exist. All I'm doing now is waiting for her to pop into my life and surprise me.

I have. And we have been happily married now for over 37 years. No complaints either.  Of course, if I did complain, she wouldn't listen...  8)

I used to believe in soul mates.  If you looked for a description of a "meant to be couple", my wife and I would fit.

I moved to her hometown when I was 10, she lived 4 miles away.  We rode the same school bus together.  Our siblings actually dated, yet we never met. I moved away 2 years later.

When I was 15 my family and I went to Disney World for xmas.  The same year, my wife and her family were in the park the same day.  We stayed at the same hotel. We never met.

At 21 the company I worked for sent me to NC to work.  I met my wife at a dinner club halfway between her town and the one I worked in.

Seemed fated does it not.

Your weird can be fruitful and good, or doom you. Appears you have yet to fully define your outcome, Gomez.

There are three kinds of people in the world. Those who can count, and those who can't.

You are assuming she uses a rolling pin.  Whatever seems to be handy is her modus operandi.... 8)

The whole "hit you over the head with a rolling pin" thing is a total Italian-American stereotype, isn't it?

That may be, but in my area, her threatening to cut my balls off while I am asleep is more the norm......Or cutting may be strictly a Sicilian thing.  8)

It does indeed, I have a similar story myself however mine didn't end up like yours and thankfully so, is how I feel about now. We crossed paths for many years and still do on occasion due to us both venturing into the same line of work, unbeknown to me all those years ago as a shy young girl, he would end up being the man I would train with on my first job. So many instances of us meeting and eventually becoming more but it wasn't meant to be no matter how much I thought it was over the years.

I imagine a person's soul mate is unique and impossible to define until they wake up one morning and find the perfect partner is lying next to them asleep. Its more than puppy love. They fit you like no one ever has, every day with them is better. Some of us will never find our soul mate, or even recognise them, they have a habit of creeping up on you and if they do your life will change forever.

Searching for one's perfect soul mate is an impossible endeavor.  I say this because one's values and idea of perfection changes as we age.  What we find perfect at age 20 is trivial at age 40.  Just find somebody who accepts you, imperfections and all.

And if you have no imperfections, fake them.
