I love love. I believe in soul mates, but not just one person for one person - more like certain groups - not groups all together, but I believe there is a "group" of people that you would "click" with and you just have to find one (or more, depending on your style). In "The Celestine Prophecy" he writes about thought groups. I think this works not just w/true loves, but w/friends too. Sometimes you meet someone and everything just comes together. You're both comfortable, you have many of the same opinions on life, you're able to talk w/them easily and things just flow.
I have always been a romantic, but life (& love/heartbreak) have made me less so. I don't think any amount of heartbreak will completely kill the romantic in me though. I also don't think there are any accidents when it comes to relationships. If someone comes into your life, you both have something to learn from each other. Sometimes the lessons are horrible, but necessary.
And I'm glad to hear that SOMEONE is interested in my thoughts. I was starting to wonder . . .
: Hello all. I would like to know your thoughts/feelings/opinions on the subject of love. I don't know why, but for some reason I find the subject fascinating. Are you one of those people who believe in one true love and there being someone special out there for us all? Or are you just out for frequent, casual sex and a partner who doesnt take much "maintaining". If you're a romantic, have you always been that way, and if you're a player, are you planning to be that way forever or just while you're young (or old as the case may be?)
: For what it's worth, I am one of those hopepless romantics who goes to the movies and thinks it's nice when Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan get together....again. Yes, I will inevitably get flamed like never before for that, but to be honest I don't care. We all believe in something - or have something that gets us through the day - love is mine. Love's my weak spot, and I don't mind being ridiculed about it. But what's your take? Is the soul mate a real concept, or is it all accidental and messed up?
: I am interested to hear your thoughts, even if no one else is. :)
