Let’s talk about love - or rather “Twin Souls”
No seriously, I really mean it. Let’s talk about it. 
I was reading (and commenting) over at a fellow bloggers place about “love at first sight.” And I really have been pondering it since then.
I think maybe it’s because I sometimes tend to miss those awesome first glance, first kiss, first spark feelings that you get from being with another person.
I for one tend to believe in “Love at first sight.” Or more importantly - a sort of knowing or intuition. And also a belief in “Twin Souls.”
I have had only two love at first site emotions in my lifetime. The first one was with my ex. When I first saw him - I just knew that he was the guy. My prince, my all, the man I wanted to spend my life with. I do not know how I knew - I just did. It was intuition at it’s best! (he was twin soul number 1)
It definitely was not “lust” at first site as I was only 17 and was not all that into sex at that time. (I was an awful shy kid and it actually has carried over into my adult life.) Sadly, or probably because we were so young at the time, it did not last.
It seemed that the older we got - the more we drifted apart. We had essentially “grown up” and our likes and dislikes changed. We were not “as one” anymore. So, our souls had run the course. They were together for the length of time they needed to be.
We emotionally separated in 2001, but it wasn’t actually until 2002 that I actually left him and took my daughter and moved into the place I an in now.
Had the love at first sight faded? Most definitely. Like I said - we were together for a reason and I feel as though our time was over.
My second “love at first sight” was with a beautiful Australian that I met right before I left my ex. We actually “met” at a Wiccan group I use to run back in the end of 2001. He had popped up on my ICQ list to say hello and tell me that I had a great group and all that. And we were inseparable from that night on…Virtually, that is. (that was number 2)
To be totally honest with you - I knew just from that first day/night of talking with him that he was connected to me in some way.
Since he was an Aussie - that meant that he was up all night talking with me in my daytime! But that is what we did. We chatted everyday for 10 months. It was not until November of 2002 that we actually met.
He was my second “love at first sight.” (twin soul)
And this leads me to talk about the “Twin Soul” meaning…
Honestly, I think my ex and my Aussie were part of one soul. Or rather a small fraction of the piece of the soul. The older I became the more “in tune” with my soul I was. So I moved closer to it.
When I met my Aussie, we were both going through the same things at the very same time. We had a huge list of similarities - right down to our handwriting. And we were there for each other, standing together holding onto each other in a spiritual way. I could be having a horrid day at work and he would call me to ask me “what was the matter honey?”
I would suddenly start getting back pains and I would know that he was having a bad day with his back. (he has ruptured disks in his lower back)
I do not think that I was ever connected to another human in such a strong, spiritual way. To this day - when I think about what we had, my heart stirs.
Twin souls though, there can be many. This is why I believe that we can love more then one person in a romantic, love, lust type of way. Twin souls originated as one, but then broke off into many fragments over time. So when you meet up with a “piece” this is why you find and feel that awesome connection. And of course - this enables us to love more then one. Perhaps - that is what “crushes” are? Fragments of our souls?
Currently - I have a best friend. And he too is an Aussie. We have things that happen to us that are identical (except for the dates) Deaths, suicides, relationships, etc…
I believe he is my twin soul. Not in a “romantic, lust type of way.” But in that snug glove type of fit. The favorite blankie type of feeling. The warm comforting type. The BFF type of way.
We talk everyday, via email. At least almost everyday - he can’t sit still on the weekends… 
He is there for me through thick and thin. Good and bad. The ups and downs.
When I am arguing with my ex bf for the 7000th time - he is there to lend an ear. He listens to me and I in turn am there for him.
I listen about his numerous (comical) psychos that he dates. And he has listened to my crazy dates too! If he were to call me in the middle of the night with an emergency - I would be there answering that phone on the first ring. (not if he calls my house phone though…Bill collectors, ya know… )
Anyway, my point is - He IS my twin soul in every sense of the word. We have just never slept together. And we never will.
But - we are best friends. Twin Souls. But, on a different level. Go to the site I have linked up here. “From the Stars.” It has a great explanation about it all. Does not matter what religion you are- it is an awesome read.
Would love to hear about your experiences with soul mates? Awesome loves or whatever you would like to call them! Do you believe in soul mates? Twin souls? If so, tell me about it!

Rather deep! It after reading your post I feel that I haven’t examined my loves. Interesting food for thought.
The other day, my business partner and I were talking about the decisions that we make and how they affect our lives.
For example, in 1997 I moved to TX from MD. I was married at the time but got divorced shortly after moving.
I feel in love with this awesome women from TX and now have two great daughters and a wonderful family. I am really happy.
One simple decision to take a new job in TX allowed this to happen. Very interesting the importance and direction your life takes once you make a simple decision.
Maybe she is my soul mate! hmmmmm
Thanks for the cool post.

Greg - I think that you are right and she could very well be your soul mate! We have many over the years and some are just *here* to help us on our journey. Twin souls can be best friends, lovers, even siblings. And most times we *meet* them as we are going through very down times in our lives. There are many different types too. Soul Mates/Twin Souls etc…
