I truly believe in Plato's theory: that everyone has a person who is their equal half, that everyone has a soul mate. And that we find them in due course of time.
I know some people who tell me they don't think it is true, because they never felt the need for someone to come "complete" them, that they are very happy on their own. But then, if you have been waiting all your life to feel some sort of emptiness, so that you can finally go find someone to fill it, then you are missing the point.
Soul mates don't fill spots or come into your life to take up responsibilities or relieve you from them. Let's say they fill some internal gaps. They fill gaps you didn't know existed. They take care of you when you think you're making it okay on your own. They make you feel special and worthy, in ways you have never felt before. They know you for who you are and love you unconditionally (the same way you love them). They make you feel complete when you never realized that you were, in fact feeling incomplete. You know how in romance novels and corny dramas they keep saying that true love elevates you? How you feel a divine connection with your soul mate? Well, its sort of true, minus the corny-ness of course! You do feel a connection though. Your soul mate reacts to everything in the exact way you want them to. You don't have to say everything that you want to say and every unsaid thing will still be understood. The chemistry is almost addicting that you start to wonder how you got through all this time without them.
Best part, they don't do it for you. They are who they are because that's who they really are. And there is absolutely no pretending in the relationship. Not one bit. Not about what you wear, about what you talk or what you truly feel. Being with them is just like staying home in your favorite sweat pants with your hair all messed up, eating out of a cereal box, stretching on a Sunday morning feeling absolutely serene bliss. There is just no need for anyone. That's exactly how it feels with your soul mate.
And for those who don't find their soul mates and for those who don't search for them at all - there is always someone who is a really close match. I mean they could have been your soul mate, except for a few things that you may both have to work on, to become that perfect couple. And when people work on these things, they do evolve into something pretty damn amazing. I know some who have. And trust me, it is equally magical. In the end, it is only about how good we feel anyway! :)
