When I was young, various things on TV told me that somewhere out there for everyone exists a soul mate. At some point in the past, your soul split in two, and somewhere the other half of your soul is searching for you.
I kept being told lies and propaganda that there was some perfect being out there for me. Someone that I would love unconditionally, and in turn, would love me just the same.
I searched for this person a long time.
I couldn't find them.
I found over the course that my heart was open. I kept loving people. I didn't necessarily think they were "the one", but I loved them all the same. I loved them for who they were.
Some said they loved me.
But time passed.
The phone seldom rang.
We "lost touch".
I barely think of them ever anymore.
Now I realize all anyone ever says is bullshit. They may speak truth or lies, but it is only ever truth or lies from their perspective. They think there is one person out there for you, but for me, there are so many people out there to love, if your heart is open.
I don't mean fucking til your heart's content. For some their heart is in their dick. But that is not the meaning to me.
Love people for their faults and all, and you will find the world full of people for you to love and share your life with. Even if but for a day. Then you must let them go, and let them live their life, and realize the truths of today are the lies of tomorrow, and they only loved you in that moment.
But in that moment, you were content.
Be content for today, and tomorrow.

This post touched my heart. There is always someone to love and love you back if your heart is open. But I think everyone just wants to have that "one" person. After a heartbreak, you recover, find someone again hoping there will be no end but it ends and the cycle continues. And I wonder how can other couples just stick with their partners for life - that will be gold if I find that.
I really think if you don't leave your life thinking you'd find the "one", and you keep treating people right and living freely, you would certainly find one who will fall heads over heels for you and you would love the same way.
Or maybe thats what I was brought to think.
I think this can be one of the hardest things to grasp. I still find myself struggling to truly be okay with change. With letting the tides come in and wash away. Allow for relationships to come and go. This makes me think of a time when I met this random girl at an improv show and we ended up hanging out that night and having a really great time. I never heard from her again and it saddened me. But now I think... that was a wonderful time and I am grateful for that...but I also realized that the wonderful time was part of my doing. So I can do it again... with other wonderful people.
Thanks for the insightful piece here @geekpowered
