Primer Blog: Soul People

So, my first Blog, numero uno... Yes, I've had this for months and haven't written a single word on it, but let's change that....sorry, I forgot about it.

I think I'm going to use this space as an avenue for vulnerability. I am rarely defenseless. I have a very thick skin that I take pride in. The only people that I let in are family and very close friends... Some exes have been able to penetrate, no pun intended (LOL), but have been kicked back outside that door. Most often they want to get back in, but they remain knocking at the impenetrable gate. There is only one ex that I have, and even though he is standing outside that gate, he gets to speak to me through an open window. The other two are being watched outside by my Dominican guards with rifles, ready to snap and take their money if they act up. By the way, I've only had 3 boyfriends, J, L, and J2. Two of the three I thought were soul mates.

So I want to talk about Soul mates:
I've had this conversation about soul mates with people before and have heard many different opinions on them. My belief is that there are many soul mates that one may come across in a lifetime and they all don't have to be romantic.
By definition from Wikipedia: Soulmate (or soul mate) is a term sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, friendship, love, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality and/or compatibility.
I think it's possible to connect with people on different levels and I've been fortunate to have some of those connections, but just how people fall in and out of Love, you can connect and then the connection can fizzle. Some people have said that you only get one soul mate in life...



Maybe because I'm a Gemini I think there can be multiple soul mates... I don't know

What do you think about soul mates?

I've believed in em, and thought that SoulMates were bullshit.. all in the same breathe. The same way that we can find multiple loves, its logical to assume one can find logical soulmates. The key is being lucky enough to run into those people. You can't rest on the whole soulmate phenomenon, because I've been burned thinkin "all would work out because we have a special connection"

Welcome to the blogosphere homie!

When I think about a soulmate I think about the other half of my soul, my heart, my being. Is that person out there? who knows.. do i wanna search forever til I find him? HELL no. I think the idea of the soulmate is based on having that special connection with one single individual so i don't think people can have multiple soulmates. To answer your question, I do believe in soulmates, I just don't think people always find them.

MJ Blogs?!!

I believe there's only ONE soul mate, and a few that just seem like they could be but they are not. I think the soulmates are the ones that you met before but didnt pay any mind then and just walked by, and then years later, you meet them again by "chance" and never realized that you have met them before and somehow fate brought him/her back to you so you can notice them this time.

LOL, I know sounds confusing, but it makes more sense when you experience it.

Anyways, welcome to BLOGGERWORLD, looking forward to read more of your blogs.

Happy blogging!

I think you're absolutely right about soulmates.
But maybe that thought can lead people to searching for them, instead of letting fate take it's own course.
I believe that searching can cause people to subconsciously convince themselves that simply anyone could be their soulmate. Maybe it's a matter of being desperate.

Either way, I feel that if you believe someone is your soulmate, you should hold onto to them. Your gut, your heart, and your mind will decide.. and so will fate.

First time visiting... And this is truly your voice, but reading your words revealed another piece of U. Any hoo... I truly believe in soulmates. How many do we have in a lifetime, not too sure. At age 26, I honestly dont think I've encountered my lifetime soulmate. Have I had run-ins with seasonal soulmates, OF COURSE! And given the short seasons, the intense encounters, that transpired into breath-taking, yet short-lived love affairs, have given me the power, the patience, the willingness to sit back and await MY lifetime soulmate. With that person, life is going to be soooo good. I can feel it! Damn, I should of turned this comment into a blog of my own. LOL
