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've done the math before.

No, I don't believe in "THAT ONE SOUL MATE." That shit is preposterous. Right, so on this planet, out of 7 billion people, you just managed to be living virtually next door to the ONE person on earth who completes your life?

WHAT ARE THE ODDS? Why wasn't your soul mate, say, born in the Kalahari Desert? Or Siberia? Or Argentina?

I do believe that you can find multiple, compatible people who complete you. It's not THAT rare. If you find a friend bemoaning his breakup, saying "SHE WAS ONE IN A MILLION," you would do well to point out that such a claim means there are 3.2 more of her just here, in Dallas.

Soul mates? Yes. But not exclusively. There are many, many people on this earth we are each and all compatible with.
