Souls and Time

    To quote Emily Dickinson, which is rare and may never happen again, "The heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care."  I have never felt so connected to a line more than I do right now.  But I think she's right and maybe that's where I'm going wrong right now, I'm just trying to tell my heart that what it wants is definitely NOT WHAT IT WANTS but really there is no convincing it otherwise.
    I grew up thinking that everyone had one person that they belonged with and you would hopefully end up spending their lives together. I genuinely believed in soul mates. Then at some point, I started to believe that we have more than one soul mate because what unfair and cruel world do we live in that we may not ever meet our other halves? We meet so many people in our lives who fit so perfectly and everyone serves some purpose, but not all of them are our “soul mates.” There has to be something about them that keeps you connected.
