If you're talking about soulmates, I think there are different kinds here that serve different purposes. I think there is at least one person put here whom we have no choice but to fall in love with at some point, but I don't know if there's more than one or not. I also think there are people sent here who are meant to try us, like an "anti-soulmate" kind of figure. Someone who tries us to the point where we are practically crushed, but who makes us wiser in the long run. I also think that we have soulmates who are here specifically to be our friends - the ones that really are our friends for life. My high school psychology book defined six different types of love, and I believe in the existence of those six types whole-heartedly, and I believe these forms of love are available to us through different people. But I could be wrong. Those are just my thoughts at the present time.
Hmm...six different kinds of love. I'm glad you mentioned that. I think it would be worth my time to look at that. *huggles* Thanks. I'll respond to that particular part when I know more about the subject.
I completely agree with your "anti-soulmate" figure. I honestly think those are just as crucial for our development as a true soulmate is.
It's hard to explain what I think about love, but I'll give it a shot. I think that there's a person out there that you are meant to be with, but you've just got to pay attention when he shows up. And we're all gonna fall in love with the wrong person at some point. I mean, I fell in love with a guy a long time ago that I know without a doubt that I should not be with, but that doesn't change the fact that I will love him in some way for the rest of my life. Some loves are just meant to be learning experiences, positively and negatively. That was a positive experience, but I've been through the bad too, just like everyone else. I wish that love was a hella lot simpler, but oh well. I think that you can love two people at the same time, but being in love with two people.... I'm not sure about that. In my experience, at least one of them is an "in lust" kinda thing.

There is not one person. There are many different people. That's the important word to remember: different. You may find someone who you think is absolutely right and good for you, and that person may be. But that doesn't mean that there isn't someone else out there who's just as good...just different.
The problem with thinking that there's just one person is that it's YOU thinking it, and let's face it. We don't always know exactly what's best for us. We may think that person's perfect, but we really don't know for sure. And 9 out of 10, that's just what we want to think...not what's true.
Take every person at face value, and be grateful for what they can teach you. If you find one that works, in every way, hold on to 'em. If it doesn't work out, remember: You'll find someone just as good...just different. (My 'adopted' mom gave me that piece of wisdom, and I think it's brilliant.)
