soulmate(s)?

Sorry followers and other virtual friends for being MIA for like 4 months. I've been super busy with sorority and school stuff. Being my senior year, I'm trying to make everything count, you know?

Anyways, so now for my REAL post.

So for those of you who don't know, today is my 4 year anniversary with my boyfriend.
It's strange for me to think that I've been dating the same person since we were both 17, and now we are both 21 (though he's about to be 22).
I mean, I think about how much of myself and my life have changed from 17-21 and I  am just amazed at the fact that we've been able to adapt and comprise for and with each other's changing life and self. . . and still be more in love than ever.

I often wonder what we must have done in our past lives to deserve to meet our soulmate so early in life. That will be one of those questions I'll ask when I die I guess.
I often get the question of how or when did I know that he was who I wanted forever with... my answer? Always. I don't know how to explain it. The moment we me it was like some force of nature or of God gave me an instant obsession but instant familiarity to someone I'd never met and ALL AT ONCE I knew something I felt I'd always known my entire life and that was that I loved this person more than anything I've ever known and some how I knew he loved me.

Do I believer in love at first sight? Well, we, he and I, have experienced it.

And it wasn't lust.  Lust is to much of a human characteristic for what I, WE experienced. No, this was divine intervention if there ever has one. I do believe God put us there, here together for a reason. Perhaps because together we do more than good, we do great for the world.
I guess that part of history is yet to be written yet though.


So, yes I believe in soulmates.
And yes, I believe you only have one.
I mean, no one person has the same life experience. So there must only be one person in this entire world that has the life experiences that would be entirely compatible (by this I don't mean identical) to ours.
Sure, there are those with similar enough to ours that make them a "good match" but I feel like there is only one "perfect match."
There is only one yin for everyone one yang. Like puzzle pieces. Some are close to fitting,but only one is the perfect shape.

Life should also not be about finding this perfect match because if you are always looking, you are not in the right state to be found.
You stumble upon soulmates, somehow they just find you or you just find them...but only after you stop looking. Because trying to find something that may not be there at the time, will just lead you settle for the "good enough." And maybe that's all you want, but let me tell ya, the perfect is just that...perfect.
