I am a weirdo according to some because I think “soulmates” as an idea can be VERY real. But I don’t think there’s “one soulmate” for people. I think there are SEVERAL. Dozens, possibly hundreds we’ll never meet. And I also think soulmates don’t have to be romantic at all. That friend you instantly connect with on just about every important level can be just as much of a soulmate (and as important) as some on you also connect romantically and sexually with. It’s not required… frequently it’s weird to feel that way about a soulmate. Romantic soulmates are totally a thing, but not the ONLY thing, and there’s more than one romantic soulmate too (and varying kids… I might connect with one person for life-long long, some only with a month-long passionate fling that means the world to both of us). Which I love. Think of all the possible forms of love with so SO many people on this planet. You might meet only one in your lifetime, you might meet a hundred… you might be in a place in your life to explore it, or not, and it’s perfectly okay… but having so many people to connect gives you so many chances.

I believe in soulmates. I prefer to call them soulfriends because then you get more than one. ;)

But yeah, there are people you meet that change your life. That blow your mind because they are so inspiring, kindred or synced with you. They may last a life time or they may last a weekend.

Billy is a long time friend of mine. We dated back in high school. It was very hard breaking up with him because I didn't have a good reason. I was young. I knew he wasn't the person I was going to marry even though there wasn't anything wrong with him. I knew it would make us both miserable. No matter how much we cared about each other we didn't meet each other's romantic needs.
To this day he holds a place in my heart somewhere between platonic lover and little brother. (which sounds odd, I know)

And there's others as well. So yeah, I totally get where your coming from and agree.
