There’s no such thing as the perfect soul mate. If you meet someone and you think they’re perfect, you better run as fast as you can in the other direction. ‘Cos your soulmate is the person that pushes all your buttons, pisses you off on a regular basis, and makes you face your shit.” – Madonna
Are you looking for your soul mate?
Sorry to break it to you but you’ll never find your ‘soul mate’ because there is no such thing as a ‘soul mate’. There is probably no one on earth that you are perfectly compatible with.
Yes, there are certain personality types that you will always be more compatible with, and certain physical features that you will always be more attracted to, but let’s not confuse attraction and compatibility with the Hollywood myth of a ‘soul mate’ because it doesn’t exist.
If you’re a teenager or someone in your early twenties reading this, you probably don’t believe me, or want to believe me, but answer this question:
How many people do you know that are with their ‘soul mate’?
Any?
I don’t.
If soulmates existed surely you or I would know of some famous Hollywood celebrity that was with their soulmate.
But can you name anyone?
I can’t.
Yes, I know people get married and lie to themselves and others, and tell everyone they know that they got ‘the one’ they really wanted and OMG they couldn’t be happier!
…But most of the time they didn’t. They just settled for whoever they could get.
The truth is that when people get to a certain age (the age differs depending on the person), they get tired of looking and just want to settle down. So their standards drop dramatically (especially women) and they settle for whoever they can get. Seriously, whoever is around at the time and is willing to settle down, get married, and/or have a family.
