After watching the seven seasons and all available series of the eight season of Desperate Housewives, I got hooked up with Sex And The City. Don’t know why, but I like to watch something that comes in series. There’s just something about continuity of series that I like, but can hardly define. Maybe it’s just that after watching two-three seasons of any kind of series you get familiar to it and that familiarity makes you feel cosy and comfy about it.
So today spending a perfectly lazy Sunday with Sex And The City girls and fresh apple pie straight from the oven, I heard the phrase that made me pause for a while. “I love you too, Richard, but I love me more,” Samantha said (and if you have seen at least one episode, you know which “gal” I’m talking about). It made me wonder, why could I have never said that? Why would I ever love any man and any relationship more than myself? Is it because I’m pressured by the perception that single people have some kind of flaw?.. That single people are not complete, cause only a soul mate, our perfect-other-half completes us?..
And who has ever made that concept of a soul mate out? I mean, isn’t it intimidating to think that there’s only one person in the world that is perfect for you? What if you never meet him (or her)? Or what if you meet him and it doesn’t work out? You’re doomed to remain single or stay in not so perfectly fulfilling relationship for the rest of your life?
I would like to believe that we have more than one chance to make a perfect match. Or that our friends and family members can be our soul mates (yes, I like that word in plural much more than in singular). Why can’t, for example, your lil’ sister be your soul mate and guys be… just guys. Cause let’s face it, we think they are all pigs, but we still can’t live without them. We like them to give us flowers and make us laugh and stuff, so why can’t we just leave it this way?
I don’t know whether I’m being pessimistic or optimistic right now. But I’m hopeful that my theory of multiple soul mates is true.

Aciu, maziuk! :***
I’m sure about multiple soulmates! And i think a good relationship = a person with similar values + a lot of work on it.
Glad to hear somebody shares my point of view…
