LOVE IS NOT LOGICAL...

Let's talk about soul mates and love stuff should we? 

I have been in a relationship with Amner for 6 years, he is the best father I have ever met, he is an incredibly inspiring person and he is my biggest support. There is no secret there that I am crazy in love with him, (what can I say he has A LOT of charm) I can tell you a bunch of amazing things about him and our relationship and I can also tell you a whole other bunch of bad things, because we are not perfect but that's what makes a relationship work.

Relationship's, love, soul mates all of that can be kind of a funny thing.

I believe in soul mates, I truly believe that a soul mate is a person with whom you are unexplainable drawn to be in relationship and on my case I believe my soul mate came into my life to make me grown and expand into the best version of myself.

Now that doesn't mean that a relationship will last forever, or that is going to be a walk in the park. In fact, you can assume that you are going to come up against some challenges with your soul mate. I recently read that "Where there is potential for the greatest love there is also the potential for the greatest pain" Soul mates relationships include both.

I know, I know no one ever wants this to be true. None of us do trust me. We all want all the love without the pain, we want the most magical and romantic love story without breakdowns of course. But it isn't possible.

Many people just quit a relationship when things get tough, but after a few experiences between my Amner and I. I can assure you that challenges aren't necessarily a bad thing, I think it's supposed to happen this way, things have to come to the surface so they can be changed.

I think the way that Amner and I move beyond our issues, is by choosing love. I think that by doing that we see each other beyond our mistakes, we see the potential in each other, even when I cannot see it in my or vice versa. It means we have to be kind, compassionate, understanding and forgiving, even when it's to hard to do. It means focusing on the good in somebody else rather than the bad. It means committing to work through our stuff.

Amner my soul mate you are who I want to grow old with, you are the love of my life,I know it hasn't been easy and that it's been a challenge in many ways, but that's OK because all the difficultly is just an opportunity to make us grow.

The next time that you question if you have a soul mate or not, maybe you should take a look around at the person or people you are closest too. I believe they are your soul mates, Carl Jung said that "in all disorder (there is) a secret order."

People who are in our lives are there to help us become better humans, to expand and grow in love.

Just don't forget that you have to be up for a challenge.

Love, 

Laura.
