Soulmates

There are more than 6 billion people in the world. The idea that we are supposed to scrounge through the richness of 6 billion beings walking on planet Earth in order to get to that one person out there meant to be our soulmate is not only mathematically depressing, but also mathematically impossible. 

Say from the time you were born, you meet at least 100 new people every single day, people you've never met before, then by the time you were 25 years old, the number will only add up to 456,250 people. Which means if you get to live until 100 years, if you're lucky or unlucky, depending on your circumstance, then you'll get to meet less than 2 million human beings, that's less than 0.1%! If that is the case, well then, fate is playing a cruel joke on all of us.

There's a high chance that there might be more than one person designated to be our perfect match, those that are worth it to stand next to us and walk side by side into the horizon of domestic bliss... 

I'm saying that we might have more than one soulmate in this world. It's possible. This, coming from a hopeless fairy-tale believer, is something, you see.

But. I still believe with utmost conviction that it takes a lifetime to do justice in loving one of your soulmate truly and thoroughly. 

A freaking lifetime for each soulmate. 

So if you believe in reincarnation then go ahead.

But. If you do not believe in reincarnation and doing a half-assed job is your thing, then by all means, go ahead too.
