The one only love,the soul mate,or the other half , a person we spend most of our lives looking for.I know some people kept looking for that even after settling . This other half that will solve all our problems and contain all our shortfalls and make life happy ever after.

The need for the other half occurs later in our lives,after the first heartbreak and realizing what exactly we want in him/her. Some even write a list of what that “ unicorn” should be like .We spend most of our lives looking for it in every date face, in every action they do , sometimes we imagine the qualities we want in whoever we end up with, because its time to settle down and put this searching journey to ease.

The ones who are still looking for their “soul mate” while they are in relationships or after being married are like the lady who found the perfect dress in the shop but won’t buy it because she thinks there is a better one somewhere else.In my opinion, they need to be thankful for what they already have (I’m talking about the ones in happy relations and still looking).

What about (the one that got away) the one whom we keep recalling “their good memories” . In this case I’ll quote Dr.Phil (once you go back to your ex , you’ll say “aah that’s why I left him/her ) . Sure the memories will make everything sound good and you’ll only recall the good ones , but let’s face it , you left him/her for a reason.

Sometimes it’s easier to live a dream of our special one , rather than finding it , but it is not easy to find because once you find it you’ll realize he/she is a human and have a fault of their own and the trick is to accept their humanity and go on.
