what i have learned of love and soulmates

Do you believe in fate? Sometimes this is a question that drives some insane. Alas a question that can bring some of us to genuine clarity. To begin we must ask ourselves what is fate? Is it a series of random events that lead up to a moment that defines the choices we've made? Another school of thought on the subject states that fate or fatem as the greeks called it is a chain of events designed to bring us to these moments. So I ask the question again. Do you believe in fate?

Through all of my years I have known pain. I have known abandonment. Because of these events I have always found the resources to throw negative slings and arrows at romance and the concept of love. It is an easy thing to tear down that which some hold dear. Truly I say that I had become jaded and therefor dwelled inside a hell that was ofcourse a place of my own creation. So many friends and loved ones have had to endure this sermon of discord that was sewen by my creative hand.

Now fate yes I used the word, has seen fit to bring me to a place of question. I now find myself faced with the fact that I have fallen in love truly against my will. How does one deal with a situation such as this? To have someone you hardly know inspire feelings inside you that even your wife of 5 years could not bring to the surface. All the things I have ever said against love run into my mind. Now they seem so childish. A creative farse against something I have come to cherish. I can only find one word to describe what has thawed this cold heart. The word that has gained such power over me is soulmate.

In case you haven't been out of a cave over the past few hundred years lets educate you to the word. A soulmate is a person that is a true extension of who you are. A person that shows you colors you have never seen. Now to those of you that think as I have. You will laugh and say that I am being a jackass. Now with this statement I would have to say to you that you are right. Cause being a jackass in love means you can act in a foolish way for an honest reason. To show love when others would look at you and shake their head. This is a feeling that no matter how bad the world crashes down around you, there is no choice but to smile. For the first time in my life I feel truly alive. For the first time in my life I pitty those that have no working knowledge of what I am talking about.

In closing I have learned that the old saying is wrong. You can teach an old dog a new trick. You just have to know what the right treat is. So are you one of the few that has found that special part of yourself? A person that truly knows what love is. I hope you are not one of the faceless masses that points in disgust when you see lovers as they walk hand in hand. Do not scough at these kindred spirits as they cherish one another. Don't look down on the rare gift that they have found. It is ok to look at your friend or loved one and ask the qeustion once. After they have answered you and assured you that they know what they are doing then just leave it at that. Support them and love them for they want to share with you what they have found. Once they know this secret of the universe they wish nothing for you but to know what true happiness is. They want you to know love for all the warmth and comfort that it provides.

With all of what I have said out in the open there is only one thing I can say about love. Love is like a roller coaster. It twists and bends you in ways you almost can't handle. It makes you laugh and cry. It can make you afraid or sick. There are times when it can excite you. It coes up and then down and just when you think the rid is over the ride starts again. So shut up don't fight it and enjoy the ride.
