Soul mate

“There is no such thing as the perfect soul mate. If you meet some one and you think they are perfect, you better run as fast as you can in the other direction. ‘cos your soul mate is the person that pushes all your buttons, pisses you off on a regular basis and makes you face your shit.”

That said surely the flip-side makes it good? You have some one to be with. A person to share your life and experiences with. They know what you are like, they know how you think, how you feel.

Or is that a bad thing?

Is it healthy spending more time with just one person than others? To have some one knowing you inside out? I suppose that's taking it to the extreme. It means you have to explain yourself less but then takes away the surprises and have less to find out about each other. I suppose eventually spending enough time with anyone will have that end result.

Having a person around that "pushes all your buttons, pisses you off on a regular basis and makes you face your shit" is in some ways good. It keeps you 'alive', gives you challenges and helps you grow as a person. Obviously taking it too far can have a negative effect on you.

So is it good or bad to find that one person/soul mate? I have no idea. Think I'm pretty free with stuff anyway so not many surprises with me either way, and most say I'm easy to read. I would like to but then, for me, is it wanting what I can't seem to find at the moment? Not so sure. Love being around others but whan it ocassionally does get too much I do like to sink into the background or just have some alone time.

Guess I'll never know until it finally happens.
