A soulmate is a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner. Well, I think I may have just found my soulmate through the widths and depths of cyberspace. Sounds entirely nerdy, with the term cyberspace and the scientific connotation surrounding it, but it is partially true. Not implying any romanticism, but I think this blogger is seriously meant to be my ideal friend.

As I scrolled my way through this long list of websites that my soulmate counterpart, “Emmaismyname,” had bookmarked as her most frequent visits, I realized that this stroke of serendipity was becoming more and more exciting! Who would have thought that we would both have so much in common, in regards to my blog theme and my personal life outside of internet exposure, coexist so distant from each other, but on the contrary become tied through the connection of username and passions. The list continued, and with every additional website, I came to the conclusion we were just simply meant to be friends. She starts off with my ideal bloglist, similar to that of my own page, except her pages are a hybrid of blogs and entertainment websites. She includes websites such as Access Hollywood and a newfound one titled Pinkisthenewblog.com, which I now give a LARGE glance at from day to day. I am already learning much from this homogeneous girl.

Pen pal? Eh, not exactly. I’m not looking to become best friends and stay up late into the night chatting with a total stranger. I don’t even know if ‘she’ is actually a ‘she’ or a ‘he’. But the idea that we have the same goals when searching for our personal interests online is a fantastic concept. I wonder what she looks like, where she’s from, or even what she likes to do in her spare time. Does she enjoy my same hobbies? If we read the same articles online, we’re bound to have more in common than simply celebrity glancing. It is a strange thing to know that someone is out there, in this small world that appears to us as magnificently gigantic, mimicking our actions while we unknowingly mimic theirs.  But now is where the 21^st century technology kicks in and allows us to make electronic connections with people just like ourselves. Identical twins, not of appearance, but of soul. I’m starting to get the idea that soon enough our whole world is going to be connected in some way, shape or form. If we can see strangers’ interests and passions just by their bookmarked websites, and what they look at day to day when drinking their morning coffee or reading the mail, I wonder what will be next for us in the few years to come.

Finding a soulmate along the streets takes coincidence and some extreme star alignment. Horoscopes, luck and all. People search aimlessly until that one day arrives when the hopeful search in finding the man of their dreams disintegrates, and tears start pouring out of their eyes as the idea of failure slaps them in the face. To these people, their lives are over. Done. It will simply not get better from here. Many to most soon find that their lives are not a storybook fable from their childhood memories, and this is what the rationals like to call “reality.” And as we know, reality is somewhat of a bitch. A soulmate is one of the hardest ideas to fathom and even harder to discover. The technology created through the development of internet intertwines us all and allows for fate to become a much easier process. What would life truly be without the grandeur of internet? We would for sure, no question, be wandering nomads. No doubt about it. No friends, no love, and no life. We’d have to communicate in person... weird. WHAT WOULD WE DO!? Thank you God, yet more importantly Tim Burners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web, for making our days a little easier and a lot more worthwhile.
