True friendships are the same way. You might not see each other for years but you can pick up the thread again in an instant. Just like there was never a separation. True love crosses all barriers.  SO true...  ...and it's a great feeling to experience.  | |

I ran into one of mine at a funeral last year and it was like time stood still. We saw each other across the room and I was in his arms before we knew what happened,laughing and crying. It was lke being home again. We're both fairly happy with our lives as they are, but it's a really nice knowing that we still care deeply about each other dispite time and distance. I wanna hear the unabridged version of this story! | |

Considering they will never forget about each other, often thinking of each other, something about them still keeps as one. Do you believe there is such a person as a "soul mate"?

I would say a soul mate has very little to do with SEX. It has more to do with some of the things mentioned above by BYRON and KRYSTAL666.
I may be lucky, but I feel like I have a couple of real soul mates in my life. People I will never forget and never pre judge. There's an understanding of each other that begins with a blank slate based on trust and love.  | |

I didn't use to believe in more than one soulmate until I came to the Org. There are many people ere I connect with on that level. It's like being in love with more than one person. I believe there is emotion in those connections.
The first person I considered to be my soulmate is still my soulmate after 23 years. | |

Byron said: If there is such a thing...then no, they don't. Soul mates are about connection, not emotion.
I can agree with that.
I think of the term soulmate as a word to describe a person you have an instant, strong, undeniable connection with. I also think we have more than one. In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

My soul mate wasn't a romantic thing at all. I'm sure we all have more than one.. and by all definitions I think it fit. It was my best friend. She's the only person I've ever known who totally understood me as a person, and the things I say and do. We could stand in a crowded room at a party and talk to each other without saying a word, and we did that all the time. We would fight and argue, but would never weaken the connection. We took each other through the hardest of times and knew exactly what to say or do for the other.
We actually met 3 or 4 years before we both ended up working at the same place. We then met for the second time and that's where the friendship blossomed. I know that we were soul mates. She died last June in a car accident. Unforunately, soul mates can lose each other. In this case, it wasn't by choice. "Down by the riverbank in the old bayou.. I'm digging a grave into mud just for you."

This is going to be weird, but I don't (or didn't) really believe it, but I met my brother-in-law's mother and we clicked, and it must've been audibly because it was my husband who told me and mentioned the world soulmate to describe what he had just witnessed  it was bizarre. Other than that I used to think I knew my cat in a past life.
When I touched my husband for the first time (in a non-sexual way) I felt familiarity and comfort - weird because he was a complete stranger to me, and normally I am creeped out by touching strangers. | |

We as human beings are not very smart and tend to not know what we have until it's gone. So, some of us do lose our soul mates in the process of searching for what we THINK we don't have (with them) or for that something more "better". | |
