Personally, i refuse be cowed. i use the term as it is defined. i believe it is websters, but truly grabbed the first one i came to:

Dictionary result for soul mate
/ˈsōl ˌmāt/
noun
noun: soulmate
a person ideally suited another as a close friend or romantic partner.

yup. that is the person i am looking for. one ideally suited. i also freely use the word miracle. it is after all, a word of quite good effect. and well, a word.

as in do i believe she is out there? sure, more than once. but its a big friggin haystack. it'll be a miracle if i find her.

interesting article! thanks for posting.

Agreed.

...there are no souls
