I was wondering.... Does "The One" exist. Is there really a soulmate, the-other-half-of-your-soul-to -complete-you and make-you-feel-whole-for-the-first-time-in-your-life out there? Do they exist? Or is this the cruel trick played upon millions of yearning women by Hollywood and Publishers to sell more movies and books?
Because if this is a marketing gimmick it is not only the women who suffer, but also the men attached to those women. For they will never measure up to the mythical "One", the one who understands them perfectly without the women having to spell it out all the time. The one who completes them.... you catch my drift.
Personally I felt slighted, because when I was younger I was firmly in the "The One" camp. But sadly as time passed, all I met were pale imitations of "The One". So my whole life was spent chasing this dream and illusion.
This is causing me to wonder if I should have spent less time chasing this dream and more time enjoying the ones I had. Was my expectations too high?
But even with all this doubt, there is still some idiotic part of me clinging blindly to the belief that the "One" is still out there. My cynical side tells me that he is either married with 50 children, or he became a monk, because in all my years of searching I have not stumbled across him.
But wouldn't it be amazingly wonderful to have a love like that... A love that cannot breathe or function without your other half. Someone who loves you completely and utterly, someone who adores you even though you have sleep creases down your face and horror hair..... Sigh....
Well, if you have any ideas or thoughts or even wild guesses, let me know because yours is as good as mine
Have a good one
Wondering....aloud
