i totally believe in soulmate.... i dun know when u see that person and u know u want to be with the person forever... haha...
i do. i believe in soul mates
you will know when you have meet mr./ms. right
it just gives you this feeling of completed
this person is the one that will bring sunshine to your rainy days, and also the one that will bring thunders to your sunny days. he/she is going to love you the most and hurt you the most. this person is going to make you smile out of nowhere. this person is going to make you feel like you cannot live w/o him/her. oh. and this person, your soul mate, is usually the one that completes your dreams with you. he/she is more than just boy/girlfriend and best friends, more than just family. he/she part of your life. you gonna know when the feeling comes..
I believe in soulmates although I don't think we always end up being with them.
Hmm... From experience, I don't believe in soulmates. From looking around at myself and others, I believe it's quite easy to be with someone and learn to love them. It's like what your teacher used to say on the first day of school... "You all have an A in this class. Now you just have to keep it." Love/life is like that. We all have the potential to find someone, but the ability to hang on to them is usually another story.
Heck yes! I believe in soul mates. How do I know? Well, mine has the same markings as me on her body. And I cant seem to leave her alone, and im rediculously in love with her. Besides that, its just a feeling, something inside of you that drives that impulse to persue; not by a physical attraction, but youre mesmerized.
Yes, and Fiona is my soulmate ... :)
... Not in the predestined "It is in the stars" sense, no. Just as I don't believe that we get *one* chance for great love on earth. I believe that we all have a sort of mold that we have in our minds for who would be our ideal, who we would respect the most, who we would love best. Sometimes we have judged ourselves correctly, and sometimes we're wrong about what we want. We still go looking for our ideal, looking for the one that we think we want most. If we *are* wrong about what we want, it would be lucky if we found the person that showed us otherwise. At the same time, there are millions of people in the world. I don't think that there is only *one* out there for any other. But do I believe in love? Difficult, really. I think that people do attach themselves to each other, and that these attachments are very strong. Strong enough to survive decades, entire lives. But you have to think about what the nature of love is... I'm so very off topic.
Fine. Soul mates? There are people whose ideals, dreams, wishes match so very well that they are truly perfect for each other. That is my idea of soul mates. I'm so *romantic,* I know.
I always say I don't because I think it's sentimental and also bad for your mental state to put so much importance on one other person. but then I fall for some guy and think he's my "soulmate." I guess I think that there are such things as soulmates but there isn't necessarily only one soulmate for each person (how depressing would your odds be then?!)
I believe...I mean I haven't met her yet, but I think when I do it's going to be beautiful. we'll have a bond no one can break apart and we will connect on every level imaginable. oh boy...that was mushy....
Yes, I believe in soulmates. However, I do feel that there is more than one soulmate out there for you... and it changes as you change as a person. Different wants and experiences, life directions... It's about finding one of those soulmates to share your life with and grow together with. But once you find your soulmate, you're set.... if that makes sense?
I think so. I believe that my soulmate will bring the best out of me as well as the worst in me. I don't believe in the whole completing each other but more so in that we'll complement each other. I also believe it's better together than apart but it's not the can't live without each other kinda thing, rather you want to be together 'cause you can't imagine anyone that's a better complement. :)
@Wait_by_Moonlight@xanga - Agreed!
i'm not sure if i believe in only having one soulmate. but i definitely believe that there are certain people who you instantly connect with so in a sense you're soulmates but not necessarily in the romantic sense or even a one true love sense. i guess i believe that there are people you are meant to have in your life so they're kind of your soulmates. i dont know if that makes sense...
I do belive in soulmates, but I don't think its "you just know", I think its just as confusing/scary/ and easy to miss if your head is up your ass, as anything else that matters.Â
I also don't think you will really know until you lived with someone. If you live together, fight together, and go through bad stuff, but still can't breath without your partner, there is a good chance you are soulmatesI don't believe in soulmates. It's unrealistic. But, if everyone had a "soulmate" the world would probably be a better place.
the question of soulmates has no obvious answer, but i think it's dangerous to believe in them. some people will stay in abusive or other unhealthy relationships because of this reason. i'm not a believer of soulmates or true love. love is given to someone who you can respect and care for, and in return expect nothing.
@LiLbabeSwT@xanga - I agree with you completely. I believe in soul mates and they are the ones, the diamonds in the rough, that complete you in every way. They give you joy, peace, happiness, anger, sorrow. And it is true that the bond is sometimes so strong they share the same dreams, one one half, the other the other half. It's a beautiful feeling when two hearts that have been linked find one another.
My best friend happens to be my soulmate.
We may both be straight, but we were meant to be together forever =]
No. I don't think so, but it's complicated. Perhaps true love exists, but I don't think real soul mates exist.
Thanks for visiting my blog :)
6.7 billion people in the world. I find it hard to believe that there's really only one special person each. You might find someone who's personality is a great fit for yours... but I don't really see that as being "soulmates."
No, that is a load of crap. You see someone hot, you connect and then, ba da bing! She just has to be your soul mate because your hormons are on fire. I believe in mates. You choose one. Stick with her. Knowing full well you both could have got the hots a million times over for other people. My wife and I have have similar body markings. A mole in the same spot. Two eyes in the front of our heads. Hairy legs. But is that New Age Soul Mate crap. No.
She is not my significant other either don't bother. She is the love of my life. Isn't that good enough?
No I dont believe in soulmates
or love at first sight, some people might disagree with the last statement.
Sometimes I do. Sometimes I dont. But in the end I know they exist. Unfortunately, not all of us are fortunate enough to find them... But I still wonder how we are suppose to know who is a soulmate and who is not.
Yes, I have a very strong belief in soulmates! But your soulmate can be platonic.Â
Your soul mate is...someone who gives you joy and love and empathy and aid when you need it and when you don't realize you need it. It's that person who you find a deep intrinsic connection with to the point where it cannot be duplicated in the smallest bit in any other relationship. Other people may make you joyful but never QUITE as joyful, or as completely joyful--Like when your whole soul sort of rings true.
It's not just the chemicals in your brain that tell you that you're happy, but you sort of resonate with them.
But I think that the same goes for the darker emotions, you feel a greater pain for them or around them because you're so attuned to them. Your sadness is deeper because it is more genuine, when you're upset it seems like the end of the world
But it also means that the catharsis is more whole and perfect.
It's that person who sees the part of you that you cannot fully understand, and loves it, and keeps that recognition close to their heart.
Romantically, you don't always end up with your soulmate--I imagine some people never find them, or don't even realize that they've been acquainted with them. Soul mates aren't always your cup of tea right at the get go, just  like any other relationship, you need to establish a connection before you can be sure of their status in your life.
I say no.
