169. Do you believe in love at first sight?
No. You can be infatuated at first sight, and you might be in love with the idea of the person which you have created, but you don’t know that person so I don’t consider that anything close to love.
160. Do you believe in soulmates?
Yes and no. What does it mean to have a soulmate? Is there one specific person out of billions who is a perfect match and you have to find that person? I definitely don’t believe that. Even if you find what you believe to be a perfect match, it doesn’t mean a relationship will be easy. It is always going to require effort on both parts. I don’t believe there is some invisible force that pulls people together either. People also change over time. The person you might fall in love with at 18 won’t be the same person at 25 or 40 or whenever, and your relationship has to evolve to suit the needs of your partner.
Everybody likely has a number of people they are truly compatible with, some more and some less, depending on your values, your needs, your type, etc. And if you are lucky enough to find one of those people they’re worth holding onto because it doesn’t come easily, especially if the number of people you are compatible with is lower. And as your relationship evolves you can work so well together that you essentially become soulmates, but it takes time to build that and I don’t believe it existed beforehand.
And I also believe that God has a plan for all of us, and that plan might include a specific person. So if you want to consider that a soulmate, okay. So i guess it just depends on how you see the concept of soulmates.
I love this question though and i’d love to hear some of your guy’s opinions on it. My view is still evolving.
Isn’t it weird how we basically have an endless mental conversation with ourselves?
Um…yea. It is isn’t it?
