We have all heard about soulmates and most of us have the same opinion and idea about them. The term soulmates started from Plato’s Symposium where it was believed that humans were originally eight-limbed beings with two heads, and God was threatened by their power and split them in half. This resulted in both halves feeling incomplete without their other part.
A soulmate is the person who completes you and the two of you make a whole. Today this concept was revolutionized and became known as the “perfect” one we are trying to find our lives.
Another similar concept is the one of an invisible string that connects us to the person that is right for us. If we can rely on ancient legends, this string is not just invisible but also unbreakable. The legend originated by the belief that the Gods tied the string to our ankles and no matter how far we are from our soulmate we will always be connected with the right one for us.
Many people imagine that string to be red, if it was possible to be seen. The color red is often associated with love. This string can be stretched and entangled but it will never break. This strong bond will never be broken regardless of time, distance or disagreements. It will also remain during the most difficult and challenging times.
Even if it becomes tangled or stretched too far, it will not break, but it might take longer to get you back to the person who is the right one for you. Nothing will be impossible, it will just require more time. Your loved one will find their way to you or back to you and once you cross paths you will never allow to separate again. This string is meant to connect and unite two souls regardless of the physical or mental distance.
Everyone wants to have someone who will be there for us and who will choose us over and over again. When things fall apart, we want someone who will stay by our side and support us no matter how difficult things get. After all, we need love to heal, so it is important to have someone who will complete us. However, some people don’t need another person to complete them, they just want someone to complement them. Regardless of whether we believe in soulmates or not, this thought holds true for everyone: “And in the end, we were all just humans, drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness.”
