soulmate.

I’m a hopeless romantic, hoping that one day I will be completely swept off of my feet. It takes years to be able to find that true love. As Elizabeth Gilbert stated, there is no such thing as one soulmate, instead we have many, each to bring about another layer of our skin and show us a deeper purpose of love and ourselves. Gilbert however, misses the point of the soulmate. She underestimates the power of love. She underestimates the beauty of fate. Not everyone believes in fate, but to me fate is my religion. Love, everyone you meet, says my mentor, as her life has taught her the endless power of love, and the true understandings of spiritual love. Although Gilbert is correct in displaying the purpose of the soulmate, she is incorrect that they leave your life. For every soulmate revealed to me, they continue to linger in my heart. Their lesson and love to me is never replaced. Although I don’t see them every day, or perhaps ever again, their love and support is always there. We as a species are so consumed with the physicality of love, forgetting about the power of spiritual love. Love doesn’t die, and it is always forgiven. For those soulmates that touched my heart, who have revealed a part of me I didn’t know existed, they will always lay with me, deep in my core. I’m extremely excited to continue to meet my soulmates that continue to be revealed to me until I meet the one, the one that will be there forever. The one that will support me in the way no one else can. Through the faith of love, I have hope, hope that my corny romantic heart will find what we are all searching for.
