On Soulmates....

.....for anyone who thinks differently, this is grounding to read ....




“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”

That's a reality check, I had a different idea of a soul mate.

I have a completely different idea too

Have always felt this way but could apply equally well to a relationship with a psychopath.

Sadly, I was deluded for a long time.......oh Neptune Sun, the great deceiver

Luckily I found out a few years ago...

This sounds more of like a twin flame thing, if you believe in that

Soulmate is different, I feel

What's the difference between a soul mate and a twin flame? 🤔

I try not to go for the different labels but have had to learn over the years not to be deluded with what I believed was the happily ever after thing

It isn't like that at all for a lot of people

I think I've handled quite well with tremendous strength, actually. Maybe I broke down the first couple weeks in the initial separation but I see the reasoning for it all. And I know when it's time to end. Have to thank him for all that I learned. And the exes before him.

I was thinking the same thing..have always heard/read the Twin Flame is the mirror, not meant to be forever, just to teach you. If they exist, which i do think, I’ve had mine and it’s very painful, but also amazing because of the growth.

I agree.

A relationship is not about needing one another, but choosing one another as a companion on this wild and crazy journey of life.

To need, is to be co-dependant. The key is to remain yourself, to remain an independent individual. If the very essence that makes up who you are, is lost. Then hope no longer remains.

Why inflict such pain on oneself ?

The relationship should not replace who you are. If you cannot wake up, walk away, and stand on your own two feet, without the other. Then it should not be a relationship in which one should ever be in.

A relationship = to be together ≠ merging as one.

Romantic notions are wonderful, but they never last. Reality always come knocking on the door.
