soul mate

How do you define a soul mate? A friend of mine defined it as your destiny. If that’s the case, what if the person never married? That would simply mean he/she didn’t have a soul mate.

Just recently, I picked up this novel from the school library because I know the author– although I didn’t know the story. A couple of pages into the first chapter, I put down the book because I thought it was boring. But more than a week later, I found myself with nothing to do so I picked up the book again and started reading where I left off.

The story centered around this romance novelist from New York who was unsuccessful in her love life. The novelist was later told by a clairvoyant that a curse was involved in her past life, and that was why all her past relationships, kind of, failed. And she was going to meet her soul mate only after three lifetimes. She then goes to a hypnotist and had herself “transported” back in to her past life.

Now, this book that I’m talking about is Remembrance by Jude Deveraux. And it sparked my interest about soul mates. You see, I know this guy who I’m very attuned to. We get along so well. We can talk about music, movies, politics, economy, our families, our struggles, our dreams. I mean we can literally talk about anything under the sun. Sometimes we think of the same stuff, and there were instances when we finish each others sentence. Now if that doesn’t qualify for soul mate-ship, I don’t know what else. On the other hand, I hope he’s not my soul mate– not that I really did wish he is. Because ha has this habit of “disappearing” when things are looking good between the two of us. All of a sudden he just stops texting. He also stops nagging me about doing some things together. It’s like he just disappeared of the face of the earth. But of course I know otherwise. If not, I wouldn’t have caught glimpses of him here and there in school.

You might think that I’m sour-graping but I tell you, I am not. And if I really do have a soul mate out there, can you please hurry? I kinda need you. But of course, everything in God’s time.

To Him be all the glory!
