We Need To Talk About Soulmates

Are we limited in soulmates or are they numerous?

We Need To Talk About Soulmates

Since I can remember there has always been a stigma around the term "soulmate" its always been presented to me as finding your "true love", or "love at first sight" but are soulmates deeper than that?

After pondering on this subject and talking with others I finally came to my OWN conclusion. Finding your soulmate is about the energy you get from a certain person that you don't receive from everyone, and because of this I don't think there should be a limit on how many people you are emotionally tied to; also soulmates should not be subjected to one type of relationship. Who are we to tell you that you actually have to be in love with your soulmate? Throughout life, I think we can find soulmates in all of these different relations.

1.Romantic partners

Even though I talked about the different relations that you can receive soulmates in this is definitely the first relation that comes to mind, I would have to agree that when I think about finding my soulmate I imagine it in a romantic form. I think when you have a soulmate in this relation it is someone you daydream about, can be Intimate with, and all around the person, you imagine being with forever.

2.  Friendships

I think soulmates in friendships are definitely underrated and way easier to find than romantic partners. If you've ever had a true best friend you know that at some point in the relationship you two are almost inseparable you do everything together, finish each other's sentences, and most importantly you confide in each other on a level that many can't and won't understand. Though you aren't together romantically the relationship is just as important and sacred to you. Most of us may not even realize that our actual soulmate is the same person we've been sharing secrets with since 6th grade.

3. Ourselves

This may sound cheesy or cliché but you look at your first soulmate in the mirror every day. I think throughout life we learn to love ourselves more and more and this process could be considered as finding your soulmate within. I think the best way to describe this relationship is by loving yourself and taking care of yourself. This means treating yourself, but also taking care of you, mentally and physically because ultimately all of the other soulmates can disappear so make sure you nurture this one the most.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
