Being where I am at now in my life, I can understand how someone could come to believe in them. When two people love each other with the same intensity in a relationship, and both want to be in the relationship, and will do everything they can to make it work, they could believe they were with their soul mate. Steve is so wonderful to me, and I have never felt like I have been better matched in a relationship, being totally and completely honest.
I know I have been in love more than once in my life, but each of them were different. My favorite kind of being in love I have experienced so far, has been with Steve. I feel it is the most mature and the most complete. People never forget their first love, and I experienced my first love 10 years ago. We only dated a few months, and then we broke up for a number of reasons. The next one was almost a desperate kind of love. I remember that I didn't want to be alone at the time, so I kept convincing myself that I loved that person. Then there was the love I had in my marriage, which was unconditional, but not returned at the same level. He loved me to the best of his abilities, and I will always admire that about him.
The kind of love I have with Steve is probably the closest thing that I will ever find in my life to a soul mate. I feel that we are equally matched in the level of commitment to our relationship, and to making it work. We are both 2 people from different walks of life, so things aren't always easy. I can be a basket case sometimes, and he calms me down in ways he doesn't even understand. Sometimes I just need to hear his voice, and then I know everything is ok, and I can get through whatever bad moment or hard thing that is going on at the time.
So no, I still don't believe in soul mates. But I do believe in mature relationships. I will always endorse those! :)
All my love,

Shala,
ReplyDeleteIt has been a humbling experience to get to know you over the past few months. You are truely an amazing woman, and have no idea how much so you are. If I ever get anywhere in life, it will be because of your influence on me.
I never truely understood would be like to be in love with someone, and to be loved by someone else. I love just being with you... the way you make me feel - the way you help me to become a better person - the way you affect my whole attitude towards life when you are near... is amazing.
I have never felt this way with anyone before... and I cherish it every day. I similarly don't believe in "soul mates", but I believe what we have is some sort of magical middle ground. I look forward to spending many many days, weeks, months, years with you!!!
