Soulmates.

I never believed in soulmates. I don't think there is the ONE for me, or I am the ONE for someone else.

Recently though, as the few last months of college life drew nearer something changed.Well a lot of things changed actually. 4 years suddenly felt like it had only been 4 days! And I started to realise as i looked around me, that i felt such an amazing closeness to my friends. It made me stop and think about these new feelings.

And in that short span of time, the bond that grew between us girlfriends was so overwhelming, so refreshing so  unconventional. We did not hold back in expressing our affections, our love and our flaws. And surprisingly, as I heard them all, I only had love, true undying love for these wonderful women.

I quickly realised that these women, these talented potential amazing women were , had to be my soulmates!

Could that be possible though? I was always told that soulmates were your romantic life partner. Yes my partner would definitely be my soulmate, i cant think of a reason why i would want to be romantically involved with anyone who isnt, but would he be my only soulmate? I don't think so, and I don't wish that to be so.

But that's all that's different really, the romanticness. I love my sistas but I am not as romantic with them but in every other way possible, we're so compatible. We understand each other, we click. They are everything I see in a partner for life! PartnerS. It made me realise all my previous soul sistas that I wish i made the effort to express myself to.

Soulmates were not meant to be gender specific, they're just meant to be the most perfect, amazing people you can see spending the rest of your lives talking to, laughing with, laughing at, travelling, sharing and having a companion that understands you and is as compatible as anyone can possibly get! Regardless of gender, regardless of romantic-ness, regardless of physical/sexual attraction.

It's been an awesome journey these couple of months! Journey filled with self discovery and new found love for the amazing people around me.

I've learnt to always show and express how i feel about my friends, and i've learnt to accept new relationships or rather new types of relationships and to think that it is possible that there may be 101 different types of relationships in this world that my feeble mind may not be able to comprehend,

as it has taken me 24 years to discover this.
