Do soulmates exist, or not? It's a difficult question, and I have no definite answer. But at the end of the day, whether you believe in soulmates or not isn't that important. What everyone needs is someone to accompany them during their journey. Part of it comes down to luck, or coincidence, or fate, or chance (depending on your point of view... but it's the same thing). But a big part of it is putting yourself out there. The more you go out into the big scary world, the more chances you have of finding that special someone, that special journeyman/journeywoman.
I found my "journeyperson" because I had a crush for a childhood friend I'd lost contact with... I went with her to Germany, and there I met my SO. Some people find their journeyperson at the local pub; others at the other side of the world.
I guess my point is that you have to let yourself be surprised - go wherever life takes you, live to the full, and you'll meet a lot of incredible people - one of them will probably become your special someone.
All the best.
This is the first time I'm starting a thread myself...and damn, I can't help but talk about what I most desire...
I'm a very introverted person, but I find myself reaching out to others, hoping to find someone I connect with deeply. Only a few times in my life have I found such a person, but all of them have drifted away (and in one case, committed suicide).
Do soulmates exist? Are you looking for one?
