Soulmates
For some reason, we've been talking about love and soulmates in my writing class. I suppose that's the stuff that art is based on but it's a touch too...heartfelt for me? For someone who wrote an ode to advil about a week ago; I have no business writing about being in love. How bout being in-fatuation? being obsession? When I was in Ottawa, my cousin introduced me to Sex and the City. It was frightening...and frighteningly insightful. They had an episode about soulmates and throughout the entire class, all I could hear was Carrie Bradshaw's voice overs in my head. I don't think I believe in soulmates. Or rather, I don't like the hallmark belief that there is only one person who holds the key to your heart, happiness and dream house - and all you have to do is find them. Are we then meant to be incomplete if our search is unsuccessful? It's so dangerous. You're looking outside yourself and saying that you're not enough. And if someone didn't work out, were you just a runner up contestant in this game show called happily ever after?I don't think in saying this I'm being a heartless cynic. I just have a different conception of what a soulmate is and it's not in the form of the opposite sex who I'm meant to be with, romantically, for the rest of my life. But if it so happens that in the end that's who I find - well, that's just fabulous. ^_^
Chad - I think I got your address wrong. The letter I sent you got sent back! Could I get it from you again? Thanks! =)
