Soulmates

Your post is warm and sincere. I personally do not believe in a soul, let alone the soul of another to be mated with. I know from my work that our brains produce various chemical cocktails that lead to varying degrees of feeling 'love'. I also know from personal experience that some of those cocktails are stronger and more alluring to me than others, say a 'Kimberly' over a 'Sally' cocktail. On a chemical level it's really no more relevant than my preference for a 'Beer' over a 'Martini". I guess if I had any soul mate at all, it would have to be beer.

Well, I don't literally believe in souls, either. I believe in the brain, because that is real. I only believe in soulmates because I have found one already.

I have found the woman I will happily share the rest of my life with. Yours is out there.

I think figuratively there are soul mates, we must not become too callous to our emotions. They serve us good and bad but they are what make us human. I honestly do not know what it feels like to meet "the one".

Our emotions are valuable tools. Understanding how those tools work, and how best to work with those tools is challenging and rewarding. The feeling is available - you'll find it.
