Tres Jolie

I found this little jem while looking through our friends ACL pictures from this year and had to put it out there. No one is really sure what is going on here or why we are making these faces and to be honest I don’t remember much of this photo either. Good times.

While I was contemplating text to include above the picture I had thought about using “Soul Mates” to get the point across. I didn’t for one reason only: I don’t believe in soul mates. Honestly.

I believe in love. True love. I know I might catch some flack from this but I find it somewhat shallow to assume that there is only ONE person for each of us in this world. There are billions of people on this planet and you found your “soul mate”? In your home town? In your highschool? I know it might be on clearance, but I’m not buying it.

I am not saying that I don’t think that The Mister and Me are meant to be together. I’m simply saying that God puts you in contact with every single person on this earth for a reason. He put me with Paul to love, be loved and experience the unconditional, madly, deeply, head-over-heels love that I hope each of you have experienced or will experience. But what if something happened to one of us? Am I supposed to believe that was it? There went my soul mate? You’re destined to be alone and never find another partner to share a similar love with? I would want nothing more than for him to find someone who cherished him and comforted him if something ever happened to me. I would want him to love again.

So, I guess the bottom line is: I believe in love. I believe in having ONE true love, yes. But I don’t believe there is ONLY one person for each heart in this world. Enjoy the time with the one you do love and know that everything is meant to be.

I intended on posting this in order to share a photo and now I’ve shared my beliefs. What are yours??
