Do you think that life ends up keeping who's best for us in our path?

Being in love with two people means being confused or means a strong connection to both? May the connections have the same nature (romantic feelings) or they are different, but due to the intensity of the connection one is not able to distinguish?

I thought when I was young that it was possible to truly love one person only, but now I realise more and more people nurture strong feelings for more than one individual. Life's just too complicated nowadays...

I don't know if you read a Paulo Coelho's book, "Brida", in which the narrator explains that Soul divides itself from generation to generation and the "Other Parts" of us (which would be something similar to "Twin Flames") would be more and more from time to time. If one meets more than one "Other Part" in his life, would end up going through pain and suffering since the connections would be very intense, magnetic and one, having to choose, would be thinking of the other "Other Parts" through the rest of his life.

Well I used to be one of those who says "I am going to be happy no matter what, Life is Wonderful and ain't it being otherwise, no matter how, no matter with whom". But growing up I started thinking in a different way; there are so many special people that is for sure, but for us only few people will be really meaningful at all. And life may change completely depending on the person we choose to be with.

I have shared my reflection on this, I look forward to read yours as well

Leah...this is a complicated question. First, I really feel for Kapitan Prien, because emotions from past lives are always very fresh. And love is love, whatever his circumstance may have been.

I will say that it sounds to me like you may be describing different kinds of love...

There is loving someone as a person, and having respect and affection for them. You may have many loves like this in your life, and of any age and either gender. They may or may not be related to you, and so forth.

There is loving someone romantically. It is possible to have romantic feelings toward more than one person. For many, however, this may never happen in practise. The quality and depth of this love varies widely and is very individual in nature. It sounds like "Brida" describes these because you describe multiple connections.

There is another category. The one where you love the person at the soul level and the connection seems eternal. Many think you do not have more than one of these in a lifetime, if you are even lucky enough to both be alive at the same time. I can't see you would ever forget them...the love is forever. If one of the loves in "Brida" was of the the twin soul variety, then this is the love you will treasure in your heart forever...and if you cannot be with them, you are with them always. And yes, always longing for them.

I don't think that the universe always gives us who is best for us. That is our job. One thing that I have learned is that the universe is not here to make our lives easy for us. Just the opposite in fact. It wants to make our lives difficult. God on the other hand does conspire to make our lives more meaningful if we are willing to follow His subtle guidance.

There is quite a bit of truth here. We have to trust in faith, in love, and in the universe.

I wish you all the best in your journey and I hope your decision is the right one for you :)

Peace & blessings,
