soulmates, friends, brothers and sisters forever

A few weekss ago I went to the murderdolls, rob zombie, alice cooper showAs it is well known I am much more an underground dog and love the close proximity and energy you get in smaller or mid size venues but alice and rob put on amazing sets and I am glad I went to see them even if it was a huge stadium ;p The murderdolls on the other hand need to be in a smaller venue, I love the band but they aren't meant for large stadiums.

I was able to see some old friends at the show and it sparked a lot of good feeling memories. I quite honestly would not be who I am today without those friends; Carlos, Jalice, Danny, Jezzi, and Vaenka. I will be forever grateful to call myself your friend.

and that brings me to this blogs topic today; soulmates, friends, brothers and sisters forever

In life you are blessed to meet new people every day and interact with the world but it is not very often you come into contact with a soulmate, someone who is destined to change your life forever. I don't believe in soulmates in the traditional sense(lets face it when am I ever traditional) I think you can come into contact with several in your lifetime my soulmates are all people who have changed my life in the biggest ways often times in doing the smallest things. A soulmate is a great friend who with a small subtle word can turn your day around when your down, a person who can just look at you and know exactly what your thinking, a person who is loving down to their core and whether or not they openly show it you know it.

I am very glad and very proud to say that in the last couple of months I have met a few more of my soulmates through the community I currently work in(my TEAM) and through the community I have lived for years. I consider every friend I've ever made as a treasure because for one reason or another no matter how much may have happened or will happen from the moment you met me forward there was something we connected on. Human connection is the one thing every person on earth looks for. It is why we look for love and acceptance in the world, nobody wants to be alone, but in reality how many of us are? You do not need the textbook movie love story to be accepted, you have your family, your friends, your community and if you can't see the love there all I ask is that you open your eyes. If you truly believe there is no hope for love and acceptance spend some time with me and I will show you otherwise.

love in the deepest way,
