I was going through my files the other day and ran across a saved Word doc entitled “Blog” – how timely.  See, this blog has really been many years in the making…ha!

Check out this insight on love from the younger version of me:

I’ve always struggled with the concept of “soul mate.”  Does it really exist?  Do I want to believe that there is only one other person out there for me?  What if I don’t find that other person?  Am I doomed to live a life of loneliness and regret?  The latter seems a depressing option.  So, I’ve reasoned that there are many people I could love…but the most important person is myself. 

I’ve begun to realize that your 20s is the time to figure out who you are, what you want to be and where you want to go.  Another person – even your soul mate – can’t show you these things.  Sure they can illuminate the path – but the ultimate discovery must come from within. 

It’s true – I’m in a relationship right now.  But, do I believe he’s my soul mate?  No.  He’s a person I’ve met along the way that’s teaching me a lot.  However, the ultimate teacher is me.  I’m MY sole mate…just trying to figure it all out.  And, I think that’s ok.
