Hell of a question. Honestly, I don’t know. My thoughts on this have wavered over the years. Here’s what I do believe… I think people are meticulously unique—original and absolutely individual. That being said, for a person to be genuinely happy in a romantic relationship their partner has to be a corresponding shape… the fitting puzzle piece if you will. (Yes, I’m stealing Postal Service lyrics).
However, there are a shit load of puzzle pieces out there, and it’s quite possible that more than one plug will fit your socket. I think a lot of people out there are looking for that perfect reciprocal, but eventually grow impatient and start forcing puzzle pieces together. This strategy may work for some, but from what I can see it usually results in a few bent edges and ultimately produces an unresolved big picture.
I guess the real question is, do I believe in perfection? I think if you don’t try too hard and you follow your heart (cliché I know, but seriously) everything will fall into place and you won’t have to worry about putting your puzzle together anyways. In the end, the picture will be flawless—even if the process is completely messy and confusing.
Hmm… so where we at now? Perfection… indirectly, yes.
Soul mate… what do you think?
