On True Love and Soulmates...

Recently in the past few weeks, I have become good friends with a friend of mine named Jaz (short for Jasmyn). We've had some long talks on buses and while we were book browsing in Chapters as well as at school and online. And she's told me a lot about her feelings for a man named Pat. Pat's also a good friend of mine. Both go to Heritage with me. Jaz is in love with Pat, that much is obvious. She described, perfectly, the feeling of being in love at least how I see it. I see looks in her eyes when she looks at him sleeping on the couch at school that are so tender and so caring. Pat's feelings for her are the same... except for previous events. See... they've dated twice before and each time it has ended when Pat has found out that Jaz was cheating on him. I've had conversations with Jaz... and she really really regrets doing what she did to him. They are my example for today's musing by the way though I may stray into other couples. I heard on Friday that they were getting back together, and I rejoiced. I think that... now that she knows how much she loves him, she can keep the relationship together this time around. And I think that he's willing to give her another try... for which I commend him. Too few people don't care enough to realize that people do make mistakes... we're all human, therefore we make mistakes. There is no crime in making mistakes... only in not trying to learn from them.

So what's my point?

A lot of people I know don't believe in love. They think it's a load of bull that only idealistic, romantic youths believe in and that these youths have no idea of the way the "real world" works. Most of those who don't think like that, think instead that people around my age should be enjoying life instead of starting to make that kind of commitment. *shrugs* they have the right to their opinions as I have said before and I have the right to mine. I believe in love... I believe that two people in love can defeat any obstacle that threatens to destroy their love. And I believe that love is something that is rare and beautiful and should be cherished if you have found it.

I also believe in soulmates... in two people who are perfect for each other, who are bonded in a special, deeper manner. Don't ask me how you'll know... you will. Trust me, you will know when you have found them.
