The big mistake people make with soulmates is they think in a romantic way while this doesn't have to be the case. My former cowroker who was gay and me had such a great bond. It was really starnge. We could get along so well and we knew exactly what the other was doing all the time. He was 12 years older than me and we had this special bond. Everybody who knew us were like damn you two are so close there is nothing what could tear you two apart. I trully believe we are soulmates but not the love factor. To be soulmates doesn't necessarily have to do with love.
I believe that there is a soul mate out there for some one. they don't necessarily have to be lovers though. I say this because I believe that my best-friend and I are soul mates. since the day that we met we had a bond like no other, on that just can simply be broken. i truly believe that we will be the best of friends for the rest of our lives and that if there really is reincarnation then if we find each other we will be soul mates in the next life to lol. I know it sounds intense but hey i'm just like that lol
Soulmates...How should I put it?
They could be people you call bro, sis, best friend, or/and husband/wife. Soul mates, I've found to be, people you feel that whatever it is that starts such a great friendship(nonsexual)/brotherhood, mariage, (and/or anyone else close to you , to be soul mates. I believe people, mostly only, see the individuality of it all, instead of it all.
I' not a good explainationist........
Yes, thank you, you three. This is exactly what came to mind when I saw this thread.
When I think of soulmates, I don't think of them in a romantic sense. I think of moirails. The urban dictionary defines moirails as:
"Your soul mate in a non-romantic sense. You cannot live without this person; they complete you. They balance you. You would be lost forever without them. Moirails are not just "best friends". It's so much more than that. Moirail is the ultimate bond that you can feel with someone."
Simply put, they're the person who is your perfect other half. I don't think that this is a fictional concept. Sure, the term "moirail" was first used in a very fictional story, but that doesn't mean it isn't real.
While I don't believe in romantic soulmates--the idea that there is a single person in the world who is meant to be with you--I believe that there are those bonds that can never be severed, those who are so much more than best friends, as in the definition above. There could very well be multiple potential soulmates for a person, but one who finds their soulmate is incredibly lucky. I find myself wishing that I could meet my moirail more often than I wish that I could meet my future husband/wife. It's not an immediate thing, but it is permanent, truer than any kind of love, in my opinion.
I know it's real because I've seen it happen.
So, yes, I believe in soulmates, but not the romantic kind, and not the idea that there is only one.
