in ancient Greece,
there was once a belief that
humans were originally created
with four arms, four legs,
and two faces.
Zeus, the Greek god of the sky,
became afraid that these humans
would have too much power,
so he split them into two bodies
and separated them.
they were condemned
to spend their lives
searching for their other halves.
according to Greek mythology,
looking for your soulmate
is a punishment.
I don't believe in those stories,
but they make sense.
we punish ourselves
by spending our entire lives
in search of our soulmates.
we are on an endless journey
looking for love in
all of the wrong places,
and we never pause
to look at our own lives
along the way.
we are so blinded by
this need to keep moving
and to find someone,
that we miss everything
we could be enjoying
by ourselves.
