This is a general fiction based from different mythologies and theories about "Soul Mates".
Who would not want to find their "Perfect Match or their One True Love"? Who would not like to feel a sense of completion when you find the person destined for you?
Come and join me! Let's explore my own theories and beliefs of this so called "Soul Mate" thingy. I gathered some information to support my story, and since no one could ever prove or disprove the existence of soul mates; I tried mixing up all the information I've got to make this story possible. Below is one of the most common piece of information I have gathered.
Soul mate theory: Plato
In this soul mate myth, there were three different kinds of human creatures: men, woman and individuals with both sexes. humans originally each had four arms, four legs, two faces, four ears and two sets of genitalia. Got the visual?
Apparently, we humans became arrogant and began to question whether we might take the place of the gods. The gods, of course, were horrified. Finally, after some debate, Zeus split them (us) in half, rendering them (us) less powerful and condemning us to spend our lives yearning for the other half to complete us. Nice guy!
To provide comfort, Zeus allowed us to have sexual intercourse with another half. The creatures who had been only male, sought out another male. The females, sought out a female. The creatures with both sexes, sought out the opposite sex half.
I think it's great that this soul mate theory encompasses homosexuality (I do believe that love is love).

There are more theories out there, but I personally chose this since the above theory had mentioned about homosexuality and this story is about it, a GXG in particular...
