Quote I recently heard:
"I have a friend who wears water proof mascara to the gym because she never knows when she's going to meet someone."
Another quote I recently heard from a friend after I sported a pair of shorts at the gym:
"Girls who wear shorts like that only want one thing."
(Before I begin, SOME girls wear shorts like that because they get hot while working out.)
Hypothetically, you could meet your soul mate anywhere. A nightclub, aisle 5 of the grocery store, a blind date, on the treadmill at the gym, your social psychology class...anywhere. That's what makes life fascinating. The person we could spend the rest of our lives with could be hidden in the smallest facets of our lives.
However, no one likes that girl who obsesses over finding a mate.
To reference the aforementioned quote, wearing water proof mascara to the gym because you MIGHT pick up a guy is a mindless plea for attention. Chances are no one is going to be staring into your starry eyes while you're sweating away on the elliptical.
When people constantly obsess over finding a soul mate, they detract from their life experiences. You can't be so consumed with grasping someone's attention that you miss out on the funny joke that the kid in the back of the class just cracked. Also, it's shallow to always be consumed with your looks and luring someone in. Because, chances are, whoever you end up marrying will see you without makeup at some point.
Obsessing over finding a soul mate detracts from the most important search we have in life: finding ourselves. We will never attract a potential soul mate if we don't know who we are and what we can offer to someone else and more importantly, what we can offer to the world.
Your soul mate is on the way. Don't you worry. Stop putting on water proof mascara when you go running. It's a futile attempt to intervene with fate. Just run.
Love freely,
tY
