My Girlfriend, My Soulmate

I’ve been in relationships with girls since I can remember... but never like this: An introduction to the story of two lesbian lovers.

Just like the moon 🌙 pulls the tide 🌊

I don’t know how I ended up with this girl. I’ve had a rough time in life so far, I’ve been spiraling through life with no control in the Earth’s atmosphere, and somehow I have spiraled into her.

She’s a gift. Nobody knows how much I adore her presence on this Earth. Of course you know, lesbian couples are always ridiculed for jumping in and out of relationships and just moving to fast in general. I won’t lie, I’ve fallen victim to giving a girl my attention too soon. But this woman? She’s different.

We didn’t meet in the most convenient of ways, in fact for the first few months we both shed a good few tears. We were tangled up in this crazy web made by her clingy ex. Usually if I felt like a girl was more trouble then she was worth I would just stop contacting her. For some reason she made me stay through all the pain.

Pain that I probably would’ve never known because no one else has ever been this close to me.

It’s as if our bodies hum different melodies and when we are together it forms a beautiful symphony that everyone witnesses.

She loves me way better then I love myself. When I beat myself up she bandages me. When I pressure myself she stabilizes me. When I’m doubtful she coaches me. So far we’ve only been together for a year, but we’ve both bettered each other in the most amazing ways.

Before her I was cold. I seemed cute and sweet and ditzy but it was on purpose. I was 20 and already drinking... a lot, I wasn’t taking life seriously I bounced from job to putrid job because something was MISSING. I hated every job I had and every time I though I had a new better job I’d regret that choice even more. I was trapping myself in this deadly cycle. I was in college doing to work just enough to get by with no passion at all. Not knowing what I wanted, how I felt, what truly mattered, or even how to advance. I was stuck.

The terrible jobs continued at first while with her but she told me we had to put a stop to it. By this time we had moved into our current apartment together. She told me:

“It doesn’t matter how long it takes. I want you to find a job that you like, for now until you can move up to a career.”

I listened and that was the start of something amazing.

At the time I was working at this crappy store in the mall. You know the kiosk set ups they have in the middle of the mall and you try to walk past without making eye contact? My job was WORST. I literally worked at a store who wanted us to stand out in the front and harass and coo at people just as the kiosk do.

However, instead of them possibly buying something useful or beneficial, we were to market them small stuffed animals for $15 a piece.

I HATED that job. It took all my time, I worked six days a week from 9 to 6 or from 12 to 9, there were never any customers, and I spent most of the time wanting to be with my girlfriend. Oh it was also less then minimum wage.

I began to despise that job very quickly and my girlfriend saw it. But this time she didn’t want me to just take any job she asked me:

“What are you passionate about?”

And that stumped me...

Was I ever passionate?

About ANYTHING?

It’s a question I still don’t know the answer to but I’m passionate now... about my girlfriend, my work, my success, even my weight.

She and I have both lost 40 pounds and we both found new jobs that we like a lot better. We both have someone we genuinely care about and it’s an amazing thing. We just pull the best out of each other like magnetism. This has to be the love that everyone is talking about.

It’s as if I’ve been living life in a blur somehow... I’m 20 I remember bits and pieces of my life ... not really time periods and ages. All I know for sure is I love my girlfriend. I think she makes me better in multiple ways
