True Love.
Soul Mates.

Open link and listen to this song while reading this post; this song is what I think of when I think of what soul mates are.

Do they exist? I'd like to think so. I'd like to believe that there are souls that are meant for each other. I'd love to think that everyone has another half to them. In fact yes I do think there are soul mates for everyone. Do we always find them? That is where I think it all falls apart. I think there are other halves but sometimes they aren't found. And that's depressing. Not everyone finds who they are supposed to be with. And it's scary.

One of the goals in life is to find our happiness right? What if we think we find it when in reality it wasn't our true happiness? It's frightening. And what are you supposed to do? How will you know if you've found the one? In my world, you would know because you would feel it. You'd get to know every single part of this person, what makes them beautiful and what makes them flawed and you would still love every single part of them.

Little Things by One Direction talks about well the little things that make up their loved one, that they still love them for it. Things such as squeezing into their pants, drinking tea before going to bed (ohh you British people), and trivial things like freckles on their faces, and other such things. And that's all good. I agree with that you will find someone that you love all those things about them. And to quote one of their other songs "that's what makes you beautiful".

But likewise Kelly Clarkson's song Dark Side talks about a dark part of her. Perhaps it's a depression that the person has had, a time in their life when they were vulnerable and contemplated things like self-harm and suicide. And you know what, if you truly love someone you will also love those "dark sides". It only makes them more human, and perhaps all the more beautiful because they felt like they weren't good enough. And it's up to you to show them that they are.

I personally always find myself more attracted to someone when I see a vulnerable side to them. I love the idea that I can help them and comfort them. Just like Coldplay's song Fix You, says "And the tears come streaming down your face, when you lose something you can't replace, when you love someone but it goes to waste, could it be worse? Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you."

Your soul mate will be someone you love because of everything they do, whether it's blush when you compliment them, make funny jokes, or they're comfortable enough to show you their vulnerability. And vice versa. You will feel beautiful (handsome) when you're being silly, when you dress up, because they will make you feel so, and even when "your tears stream down your face", you will feel on top of the world and more importantly you will feel loved.

I do believe in true love. All we have to do is keep our eyes open and make sure that if we love someone it's at a hundred percent, and that they will feel exactly the same.

If you love someone and they don't love you back, then guess what? That is not your soul mate. A soul mate will be someone you love and they love you back completely. But that is another topic for another day.

Look for love in the most unexpected places. Or don't look for it. If all we need is love, I'm sure love will find it's way into our life. Whether we expect it or not, whether we want it or not. It will be there.
