I swear my mother's volume is just...I don't understand how such a quiet person (me) could come out of that. I really don't.

AND she just never seems to stop talking. I can't have her around when I'm trying to watch a movie or something in the basement because she'll just be talking talking talking...I mean I love her and everything but seriously.
That's how my aunt is too.
AND then she also has this thing for always bringing up things I don't even want to talk about. Every few weeks she goes into one of her "How are you and John?" question periods.

How do you guys feel about getting into a semi-serious discussion?
I'm up for it.
Sure. I'll be in and out though....exam on Wednesday and all that.
So lately I've been thinking a lot about relationships and all of that, and I'm curious, do you believe in soulmates?
Not in the strictly romantic sense. I think a soulmate can be a great friend too and I don't think you're restricted to one.
Here goes then...
So lately I've been thinking a lot about relationships and all of that, and I'm curious, do you believe in soulmates?
I kinda do and kinda don't..well, not in the sense that there's just one person out there for everyone. I think there's people we know we could be with forever and people that are better matches with us than others...but nothing is perfect and nothing is that simple and there doesn't necessarily have to be just one person who could be your "perfect" match. I think relationships take a lot of work no matter what, even if you really are perfect for each other. Well, at least that's what I've experienced in my own life. Do I consider my boyfriend my soulmate? Yeah I do. But I think it's something that happens over time...it's hard to know if you're really "meant" to be with someone no matter what or if things just work out the way they do because you love them that much and you're willing to put that much effort into the relationship.
I would agree with that. There have definitely been friends of mine that I would consider soulmates. And, yeah, I don't think you're restricted to one, but I like the idea of there being a perfect person for you too.
Maybe because there are so many ways to not meet one person, that in life there are many of them.
It's not that simple, you're right. And, I think you're right about relationships always being work too. I think some are less so than others, and that probably has to do with how well the two people fit together.
Maybe in a way, you're always looking for a sense of wholeness and fulfill that through finding others who fill those gaps, even if it's a bunch of different people with different traits.
That's definitely true, it really depends on the people. I mean I've had people ask me "how do you do it" and most of the time I honestly don't know. It just works.
Maybe in a way, soulmates are our heavens on Earth. Relationships that are just that magical.
To steal a quote from Field of Dreams...
"What is heaven like?"
"It's the place where dreams come true."
Isn't not being alone a dream shared by everyone? Like I said, maybe these magical relationships are our heavens on Earth.
So Cassie how did you ever end up knowing that you wanted to do that super cool musicology program you're in now?
Cassie. Yeah I'm in and out too, doing work
