Soulmates are a term that not everyone believes in. Do each of us have a soulmate out there specifically made for us to find? Are we only meant to be with one person in our lifetime? Is that person our soulmate?

What if we met someone, fell in love, then something happened to them. Are we supposed to be alone the rest of our life? 

I have my own theory about love and soulmates. Many of us find life very quickly after high school or in college and think that we have found the one. Sometimes people do find the one for them, but for many of us, we find what I call our ‘seasonal soulmate’. 

From our young adult years, to our final days, we grow and change in so many ways. From changing our perceptions of life, changing our way of being, changing our expectations and needs in a partner, and more than anything else changing and adapting who we are over time. 

I believe that our life is broken up into personal seasons- with no one person having the same number of personal seasons as another. I define seasons in our life as moments in time where life pulls us to different situations, where we are meant to accomplish any given thing. It is during these seasons where we are meant to have different people come into our lives, whether they be friends, colleagues, or those meant for us to love deeply. 

Some of us get lucky and find one person whose meant to be there through all the seasons of life with us, but the rest of us, we get lucky in a different way. In life, we’re meant to find who is meant to be there for us during different seasons of life — for us we have multiple soulmates.
