Soul mates:
–noun
a person with whom one has a strong affinity.
Most people would associate the term soul mate with a husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend. This is what I used to believe too. Then I heard an interesting concept, perhaps in a movie.
A lot of us have someone we term our "best friend", but this may be just another way to say "soul mate". Our best friends are the people who know the best and worst of us. Our dirty little secrets, our most hilarious stories, our secret hopes and dreams. Your best friend is someone who encourages you when everyone else has given up or could careless so why wouldn't it be possible that they could also be your soul mate? Your best friend is the one person who sticks by you no matter how many people have come and gone in your life, they remain the constant.
A friend may leave your life for a period of time, but a true one will always come back no matter how long it takes. And when that friendship can pick up right where it left off without a beat you know it is a true and lasting relationship.
To me the term no longer needs to have a romantic attachment to it, it simply means someone who knows me inside and out and still likes me and will always have my best interests at heart. This is for my Mimi!! :p
