soulmates. . .

I am a firm believer in having a soul mate.  Someone who you can share the depths of your heart with and still have more to say. A person who can look in your eyes and know there is something hidden, that the rest of the world has passed right by. I believe there is someone who you are meant to cross paths with and while distance or time may change you both the truth of your souls are still forever connected. I also firmly, whole heartedly, believe that this does not have to be and is rarely a romantic relationship. I believe more often than not you find this feeling within a friendship.

While you may have friends to laugh with and explore life with you also need one person who knows your life as well, if not better, than you know your own. A friend who you never have to explain your heart to because they already know the beats of it. Someone who has been at your side when your world comes crashing to the floor but will also always be your biggest fan, standing forever in your corner, cheering you on in whatever obstacle you face.

I believe that sometimes these deep, true friendships can be overlooked. We get busy with our lives and when we are at our darkest we forget that there is one person who will never let you feel alone in this scary world. A friend who will wrap their arms around you and let you sob into their shoulder, even if they do not understand why you are crying in the first place.

I am blessed. I have been fortunate to have so many wonderful people in my life. I have friends that I would travel the world and back for and I have friends who would do the same for me. I am lucky enough to have had many people come into my life and never walk out.
And I am blessed to have my soulmate or that person who I can text/call/show up on her doorstep and not have to say more than a few words until I find myself feeling like a weight has been lifted and I am whole once again.

Sometimes there are friendships that can not be explained. A love so deep that you feel they have been with you for every step of your journey. And a love so deep that you would do anything to do the same for them. You want to share in their happiness and pick them up off the ground when their world is crashing.  You want to constantly remind them that they are not alone because having them in your life has been a constant reminder that you are not alone.

I think we all have a soulmate or soulmates. We all have someone whom if we ever lost would be to lose one of the core pieces of who we are, a foundation of our life. .

To my soulmate; I could never thank you enough. While life, chaos and everything in between has changed our friendship over the last fifteen years I am forever thankful to have the one person who knows my soul more than I know myself. Someone who can wrap their arms around me and make me feel safe, loved, and understood. Thank you for always being there when I truly needed you. I would be lost in this world without our friendship. I will never give up on you, because you're my person.

 & I will be your person, for our souls are connected, or so I believe. Thank you, for being who you are. I love you.
