Understanding Soulmates

We all try to look for someone who fits our ideals: the beautiful, the talented, the intelligent; and we do find them, perhaps individually during different stages of our lives or if we’re lucky enough, they’re one person with these traits. Though somehow, we still sit there unsatisfied so we go on and search once more, a variation of the beautiful, the talented, the intelligent. At the end of the day, I find, these things don’t matter because ideal has to give way to reality and reality is: we all just want someone who understands the darkest and rustiest part of our soul.
