The Other Half Of Me

I used to think there was one soul mate for one person. That's what all of the movies tell us, so it has to be true, right? There's one person that has the match for my soul and he is out there and when we get married, it will last forever.

Then I realized that wasn't the truth. Because I thought I'd found him, then we got divorced. Then I thought I'd found him again but he cheated on me.

Then I found THE ONE. I found the person who matched all of the jagged pieces of my soul. We are going on 10 years of marriage and I couldn't imagine anyone else fitting those pieces.

But the soul is really just a puzzle that has a lot of pieces. We meet people in our lives that fit the missing pieces. My kids are pieces of my soul. My best friend Patty is a match to my soul. My other best friends Tracy and Pam are matches to my soul. I have very good friends who match little pieces of it as well.

I do think we have that one person that comes in our lives and just completely makes us feel like we are whole. But we meet people throughout lives that fill up voids we didn't know were missing as well. So I think we have many soul mates in this world and one person who can fill in more than one hole.

We are lucky if we get to meet them all..

Welcome to a Secret Subject Swap. This week 10 brave bloggers picked a secret subject for someone else and were assigned a secret subject to interpret in their own style. Today we are all simultaneously divulging our topics and submitting our posts. 

The prompt I got was "Do you believe there is only one soul mate per person?  If so, did you find yours and how did you know?" and it was submitted by Never Ever Give Up Hope. Thanks for the prompt!

Here are links to all the sites now featuring Secret Subject Swap posts.  Sit back, grab a cup, and check them all out. See you there:

    I agree, each "soul mate" prepares us for the next until we're finally ready for "the one". It's not magic, it's a process.

    I don't know, I met my soul mate on a Friday night and we moved in together on Saturday...that was 27 years ago and he's still the very best parts of me. He's my soulmate and my very best friend.

    I like your "puzzle" scenario. also limiting it to one single soul mate per life is scary. What if you can't find them??

    I'm with Rena. On our first date my hubby of 46 years asked me to marry him.

    Love the idea that different people fill up different pieces. Mike is my soulmate but there are parts he doesn't get.
