“SOULMATES TEND TO GO BACK TO WHO FEELS LIKE HOME”- N.R. HART
The tragic passing of Kim Porter, a beloved model, actress, and longtime partner of Sean “Diddy” Combs, rocked the entertainment industry and left many reeling from the loss of a beloved friend and mother. In the wake of this sorrowful event, I reflect on the lessons we can learn from Diddy’s situation.

Lessons we can learn from Diddy’s situation.
Notice of disclaimer I’m not trying to minimize him here. I firmly think that you shouldn’t push someone who is already on the ground. However, his circumstances teach us a lot. Because, as you may recall, “It’s wise to learn from your mistakes.” It is wise to learn from the mistakes of others. The world lost Kim Porter, a model and Diddy’s ex-girlfriend as well as the mother of his children, early this year. She was a model and had many of friends. Although they were a lovely couple, she and Diddy never got married. The circumstances taught us something. “You don’t know what you have until it’s gone,” is the lesson.


“I wasn’t ready”
Many people don’t realize how lucky they are until it’s gone, or worse, even when they do recognize they have something wonderful, they always think or expect it to last. Worse than that, because they may go “do them” with the mentality “I have a good one for when I’m ready to settle down”. “I know” and “I wasn’t ready” were Diddy’s responses. There are moments when you’re not prepared for someone you know is exceptional.I know there are a few guys that would be ideal for me, but at this point in my life, I know I would simply end up ruining them, which is unfair. However, it is the nature of time.


Living his best life
I mean not that I am judging but if you were in Diddy’s position during that time, many would call his “prime”. He had so many choices of women, lots of money, and the world at his hands. At the time, I wouldn’t want to settle down either. He was young and living his best life, so settling down was probably not his priority at that moment. Many young men and even women feel that way. I hope I don’t hurt my soulmate because I am not ready.

When many asked Diddy “Why didn’t you marry her” and said “I messed up”. You have to sort of give Diddy his props and respect. Most would drag someone along in life with them, hurting them, until they are ready. Diddy knew that he wasn’t ready for her love and to reciprocate it and he set her free. He let her go until he realized that she was perfect for him. Unfortunately, it was bad timing. All he can say now is “lesson learned” and remember the good times with her.

Soulmate Truly?
When I say that, it brings up the idea of what a soulmate truly is. Do I believe in soulmates? Yes! But do I believe that we have more than one? Yes! Come on now, there are 7.7 billion people in the world, and you’re trying to tell me that we are only perfect for one person. Nah fam! There are a handful of people that we are destined to connect with and have a bond many won’t understand. The journey to them is different for everyone. Some find them, and sadly some don’t.

Fall in love with his true mate
Do I believe Diddy will have another chance to fall in love with his true mate? Indeed! It takes more than simply love to be a soulmate. The power of love is immense, and the force multiplied by passion is even greater. It’s the binding of two spirits. Your heart aches for them; you don’t only want to be with them. Of course, a lot of people use the terms “soulmate” and “love” to refer to just about anyone, but your heart will tell you when you’ve found the right person. Although there have been a few guys who have come close, I don’t believe I have discovered my soulmate just yet. However, I’m not psychic. When I look back in the future, it will all make sense.


That is what I feel like a soulmate is
I occasionally wonder why some people reappear in my life after a protracted absence. And no, I’m not talking about those who have bad intentions. I refer to those with whom you may not communicate for weeks at a time, but when you re-connect, it’s as though you never stopped. There is a certain someone that instantly puts you at ease. as though you are free to be who you are. As if they were more familiar with you than you were. I consider it to be what a soulmate entails. To Diddy, Kim was that. Diddy’s ordeal makes me think of my worst dread, which is regret.


Conclusion
I really make an effort not to look back on anything. If I feel the need to send a text or have a certain conversation with someone in order for me to feel content, then I do just that. I don’t care how “corny” or “needy” that comes off. I don’t want to live a life of what ifs and thats what I encourage others to do.
R.I.H MS. KIM POTER! YOU HAD A BEAUTIFUL SOUL!
