What do we consider today as "Soul Mates"? This can cover many areas in our lives as the experience or choice we take in life with a person we consider as a soul mate. Many people have a different view on this topic due to the experiences they shared in a relationship with someone. There are many different types of relationships to consider when it comes to soul mates. The experience can relate to a family member, friend, lover, or even an acquaintance that touched our hearts so deeply that we carry the memory with us for the rest of our lives.

Sometimes we carry these feelings of repressed emotions from our past from another relationship with someone else that we haven't processed or repressed deep inside our precious little hearts.
