Soul mates. Do those exist? What does that even mean? That two people love each other so much that they're willing to spend their life together? That they're just so compatible that they might as well be one person? I don't understand it. How can there be one person out there that completes you? If you were supposed to have another half you would have been born in pairs or something. How can you guarantee that you'll love someone forever? How do you know your feelings won't change? How can you guarantee happiness? It seems like such a big risk to take. And, yeah, supposedly when you find that one person it'll be worth the risk. It seems like a whole lot of pain if it doesn't work. Would all of that pain be worth it? I really don't know. Maybe it's just because I'm twenty-one and a slight cynic. Maybe slightly is underexaggerating it a little. It's because I'm young and don't know any better and haven't met anyone worth my time. Well, I thought I did...a little bit ago. But that didn't work. So if it didn't work, then obviously I'm not supposed to be with him. Case closed. Never to be opened again.
Soul mates. Yeah, we're teenagers and who we think is "the one" is really just extreme puppy love. Whatever. I've moved on from that nice hope that we would actually work it out. Nope. Yeah, we fit really well but that's just not enough. That pretty picture of us working is just a far off hope, possibly a dream, discarded long ago. We had our chance. Twice. A third does not usually come around. So why dwell on what could have been? That only disappoints you. It's better to move on.
