And if you do find them, are they really the one for you or do you only think they are? And what happens if the person you're supposed to be with never appears, or, or she does, but you're too distracted to notice?<br />Leonardo da Vinci: You learn to pay attention.<br />Henry: Then let's say God puts two people on Earth and they are lucky enough to find one another. But one of them gets hit by lightning. Well then what? Is that it? Or, perchance, you meet someone new and marry all over again. Is that the lady you're supposed to be with or was it the first? And if so, when the two of them were walking side by side were they both the one for you and you just happened to meet the first one first or, was the second one supposed to be first? And is everything just chance or are some things meant to be?<br /><br />Doesn't really answer the question or thought. But that's what I think of almost everyone talks about soul mates.<br /><br />I've also heard a lot of people recently talk about "the one" happening in the sense that there isn't necessarily "the one" for you, but when you get married, your spouse become "the one" because you choose for them to be "the one." If that doesn't make sense, let me know. Lol. I read a blog post once that explains it way better, but I don't remember who wrote it and Google wasn't much help. :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183889572568768724.post-21634772602379613872014-09-12T11:18:53.264-05:002014-09-12T11:18:53.264-05:00As soon as I started reading your post I thought o...As soon as I started reading your post I thought of that quote from Sex and the City. It's one of my favorites and I almost included it in my post but mine was more about romantic love. I do believe that you can have more than one person who would essentially be your soulmate (you know, if I believed in those). All the loves in your life fulfill different things and they are all so important. Thanks for including a link to my post! I loved reading your perspective.Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026356760026283313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183889572568768724.post-74047085096007591392014-09-12T09:58:54.472-05:002014-09-12T09:58:54.472-05:00I love my sex & the city quotes too!

Not necessarily just ONE person who gets you and shares your soul. The Pink Growlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07989903849187564517noreply@blogger.com
