Some Say Love . . .

A soul mate is someone who completes you and makes you happy.  Sometimes soul mates can be your best friends.  This is depicted in the song Hey, SoulSister.  I don't believe in the quest for a soul mate.  No person knows exactly what he or she wants or is looking for in a relationship.  Even if people have these thoughts and dreams about the perfect partner, reality is no one will match one's request perfectly.  In the animal kingdom, animals do not worry about finding the perfect life match.  One will search forever to find the right person.  Life is to short, just be happy with who you are.  People should be confident in their relationships no matter what.  This ties into the love song A ThousandYears: "All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow".  I hope to seek loyalty and honesty in my future relationships.  As in the article, the honeymoon phase moves on and people are stuck for the rest off their lives with this other person.  The honeymoon phase is alluded to in Kesha's song Your love Is My Drug when she sings, "I got a sick obsession", "I just can't get you off my mind", "Because your love your love your love is my drug".  As sung in the song Unchained Melody, "time goes by so slowly, and time can do so much are you still mine?"  Time can hurt or help a relationship.  Some relationships just take time to grow.  Like the song We'veOnly Just Begun,  every relationship has room to grow and to work together to solve their problems.  I will look for a man who is independent, adventuresome, and a good listener.  The type of romantic love mentioned in this article and in the Catholic teachings is not the type of love illustrated in rap music.  this type of music is not about committed relationships.
