Since you brought it up...
the "imagine" thread..
imagine life without your soul mate..
It's a heavy thread... I'd like to think that Izzy meant it in the short term, but I can't tell.
And hey, that's tough. But, although this may be a sharing violation, here goes... it is already not a good thing for those of us that travel extensively; but some of us do experience that very thing on a regular basis and maybe those that don't experience this should know...
When I am not able to see my soul mate in the long term (say, more than a couple of months, if you are looking to keep score or something), here are some things
I can equate that feeling to, as I have experienced it on a semi-regular basis:
1) You seem to be adrift, and your time spent alone and without contact from your solemate seems meaningless.
2) You tend to spend your time thinking only of your solemate... which is good if you have the ability to contact them, but not so good if you are living in a tent in the desert or other desolate place without the possibility of contact.
3) You try to make your 'temp' life more fun by trying to indulge in other activities that might be new to you, but that just falls flat. Your focus is really elsewhere.
4) If you are lucky, you like and understand your job well enough to bring it into focus and keep it there. The alternative is sitting and thinking of your solemate all the time... and that's not productive now, is it?
5) You want to get back to your solemate... whether your age is 18 or 88.
Yep, that was kinda heavy. But if you know a member of the Armed Services, that is likely how they feel when they are deployed somewhere that is not America.
Have a safe day.
