Mini rambling coming to you from a happy cloud of happy.

If anyone remembers my little ramble on soul mates you may understand why I am beside myself with joy to find out that he is coming back to the UK for a couple of weeks in the summer.

I am floating on a great big happy cloud of happy.

Just read your other post and sounds to me like he is your Anam Cara.

When you connect with another person and become completely open and trusting with that individual, your two souls begin to flow together.

Should such a deep bond be formed, it is said you have found your “Anam Cara” or soul friend.

Your “Anam Cara” always accepts you as you truly are, holding you in beauty and light. In order to appreciate this relationship, you must first recognize your own inner light and beauty. This is not always easy to do. The Celts believed that forming an “Anam Cara” friendship would help you to awaken your awareness of your own nature and experience the joys of others.

The “Anam Cara” was originally someone to whom you confessed, revealing the hidden intimacies of your life. With the “Anam Cara”, you could share your innermost self, your mind and your heart. This friendship was an act of recognition and belonging. When you had an “Anam Cara”, your friendship cut across all convention, morality and category. You were joined in an ancient and eternal way with the “friend of your soul”.

*hugs you tight*

Oh sweetie, I didn't know you when you wrote that original post, but for what it's worth, I do understand that feeling. And it's scary as hell.

That said, please take a bit of advice; don't waste your time living the conventional and safe life just because you're terrified. Tell Paul how you feel. Go out and make the life you want. You CAN do it. I have friends who have picked up and moved to China to teach English for no other reason than because they didn't want to live with the regret of having never tried it. Did they make sacrifices to do it? Absolutely. Was it worth it? If you asked them the answer would still be yes.

I married a man who knows me that well. I married the man who encourages me to try things I've always wanted to do, to challenge myself, even if it might mean failing. It's not worth settling. It's not worth marrying someone unless you feel that way about them. Life is too short to settle for anything less.
