Soul mates

I have read that soul mates are all about deep emotional support, trust and faith. When you choose to go deeper with someone, you're opening yourself up-you become emotionally vulnerable. Sometimes our soulmates become our cross to bear. You marry someone who is your soul mate and, over time, you realize you're connected not just through chemistry, but because you are there to help each other.

But soul mates are not a one shot deal. You don't have just one great love --- you have many potential great loves. Soul mates are profound soul connections in your life. When you're with one, you stop looking, so you're not aware of the other potential soul mates around you. While you're thinking how hard it is to find The One, the reality is that it's hard for you to choose. A soul mate is someone who reflects or matches your energy and your path in life. A soul mate is someone whose power and potential are complementary to your own. And you'll find them in the most unlikely places.

I have also learned that soul mates are not necessarily permanent. Like the ending of a fairy tale, we're often raised to believe that a soul mate is our "happily ever after." How old were you when you realized that fairy tales don't come true? Soul mates are certainly considered the prince charming and his princess of modern romance. Yet what happens if your romance goes sour --- that soul mate turns out to be a mismatch? Of course you're not out of luck. You move on, heal, and open up to the next soul mate. If you look at the traditional idea of soul mates, your beloved, you'll realize that a higher force may have more than one love in store for you. To love someone and be loved is deep.

I have found my soul mate yet I cannot be with him. :'-(
