"Do you believe in soulmates?"

Random blog post, but its a good question asked by Amy on her Twitter that I couldn't explain in a 140 character response that would fill up people's timelines. Well, thats the reason why I came back to the blog anyways, so here we go:


I said that I believe in soulmates, but to an extent.

A soul mate is defined as someone who was pretty much MADE for you to be with no matter what happens, because in the end, somehow, some way, you will be together.

I believe that if you find someone that treats you well, makes you happy, loves you for you, and its vice versa for them, then that person is your soul mate....

BUT, only if you die (or they die) with that person (or you).

I've noticed that teenagers and adults alike tend to find themselves in relationships where the above is mentioned, but still they find a way to just mess it all up, and when the going gets tough, they don't try to figure things out to make things better so that they last until death. And that doesn't include when only one party of the relationship tries to make things work and the other doesn't, because then that would mean that only one party felt the above feelings, as far as outer and inner happiness goes, which means that the one who DIDN'T feel the same isn't the other one's soul mate.

Like Tash said, we do tend to settle, and not look for more, but I think that if you're truly satisfied with someone, then you shouldn't have to look for more, or feel like you've settled at all. Actually, its way more complex than settling or not settling, and is really determined on how much the person searching for their "soul mate" is.

However, if you have something good (or even great) with someone, then you shouldn't want to just throw them to the side because you don't think that they're your soul mate. You should try to figure them out and all that other relationship junk in order to know.

Ok, so my thoughts have boggled left and right about this whole subject, and honestly, I don't even know what I was trying to explain anymore, simply because of the complexity of the idea and the definition of a "soul mate".

How about this? Just be with the person who makes you happy, and when things get rough, don't give up, because you don't want to lose all the happiness that you've had with that person over something thats most likely stupid. If the other person isn't willing to put in the effort, or if they did you wrong, then they weren't as happy with you as you were with them, and when its all over with that person, you have to keep it in your mind and in your heart that there is someone out there who will make you truly happy, and you will make them feel the same way.










But wait, isn't that a soulmate?









*winks* I hope you caught my drift.

My life is flashing right before my EYES!!!

Ok so earlier today, I was looking in my old lyric books from like... I don't know, some time period between 8th grade and 10th grade. Anyways, I came across one line that I wrote that I found rather insightful, and reading it again triggered all of these thoughts and it makes me wonder how at such a young age I could think of something like that.

Well the line said:

"They say before you die your life flashes before your eyes, and maybe this is just what we're seeing/

So when you die in this life your life will flash before your eyes again, I bet it just keeps repeating/"


I know right? What in the world was I on back then to think of such a mind boggling thought in rhyme form? Anyways, what if this life we live now is just a "flash" before we die? Like, in real REAL life, we're on our deathbed, or we're about to get hit by a car, or we have someone with a gun to our heads, or we're 2 seconds from drowning, or we're falling from a great height, and this is just what we're seeing before our inevitable death? The cool part is, when you get to your death in this "flash" you just see your life all over again right before you die. So it would just be a cycle of all the good and bad things you've done in your life, and now you can see it. Who knows? Maybe in these flashes, you'll be able to do things differently than you did the first time, but the thing is, you're not even sure of what you did yet because you're just the main character in a vision that prequels your actual death. Its a pretty crazy way of thinking about things, and it makes this "life" a little more interesting. Who knows? Maybe we do live forever...

Catch my drift?

I don't need YOUR opinion on SELF-happiness.
