Soulmates

We’ve all heard the term. We’ve all seen the Hallmark movies. But how many of us can say we’ve actually have found our soulmate ? I can attest to that. A soulmate is described as someone who was created for your being. Someone who you are drawn too whether it be romantically or not.

I met my soulmate when we were in kindergarten believe it or not. We were 6 and in the same class. We even had crushes on each other. Some time passed because I moved schools and we were separated. I often found myself wondering about him as I grew up. Little thoughts here and there like “I wonder if he’s still at my old school” or “I wonder how he’s doing, it’s been a while”. It wasn’t until 7th grade when we saw each other again. I have long forgotten about a little crush but we became friends.

Fast forward to freshman year, I got into a relationship. I’m not going to go into detail, so let’s just say it was not my smartest move. Regardless, we had classes together and were pretty good friends. So much so, that our math teacher always told us to be quiet and to quit talking. We didn’t. He was the nicest and funniest person I have ever met. A personality of pure gold.

A year later, sophomore year, I’m still in a crappy relationship and not surprisingly, I have more classes with him. I guess you could say I was a bit shocked to see him coming back to school. He was taller and generally more eye catching. I kept quiet about it. As the year progressed we developed this unspoken language. It started with small glances at each other every time a teacher said something ridiculous but it became more like an inside joke that only we understood. We began to form a pretty profound connection.

Junior year; I’m still in a crappy relationship but I end up breaking it off. Finally. We have a class together and at this point we were more like acquaintances than friends. We gravitated towards each other in that class because, well we didn’t really know anyone besides each other.

This is where the magic begins, surprisingly we got pretty close in this class and ended using social media, specifically snapchat, to stay in contact with each other. We started a “streak” and talked to each other all day everyday. This started around mid October and has continued until now. Regardless, we got pretty close. A very monumental moment for us was when we both decided to attend a friends halloween party. We both had a bit too much to drink, he lost his keys, and the both of us, like idiots decided to walk around in the middle of the street to find them. We were laughing and having the time of our lives. Completely clueless to our friends following us to make sure we don’t fall into a drunken stupor. There was a moment, where we paused in the middle of the street and looked at each other. In that moment I felt the very strong urge to just kiss him. I resisted.

Eventually we admit our feelings to each other via horoscope. Our birthdays are a week apart so we are both Leo’s. What the horoscope said in summation, was that we had something we needed to tell someone. We told each other how we felt. It was long over due.

We didn’t start dating right away. I wanted some time to heal from my previous relationship. I wanted time to work on myself and make sure I was able to handle one again. During this time we did a lot together despite not being romantically involved. He came over a few times, reintroduced himself to my parents since we go way back, and I went over a few times as well. We were infatuated with each other. We would always point out how our pupils expanded when we were in each others presence.

We’ve been together for almost 7 months as of now. You may be wondering how all this is even remotely related to soulmates? Here’s the correlation; we have such a deep and profound connection, that we can answer questions before the other asks. We say the same phrases and words simultaneously. There happens to be some science behind this as well. According to this article I read about, you can function on the same wavelength as someone. Meaning your thoughts and emotions can somehow be connected. I believe that’s what has been going on for us. We are both clever and witty so our sense of humor is almost identical. I’ve always been comfortable around him. There was never an awkward stage or anything. I am a very tall individual for a female, 5’10 to be exact so finding a partner where i’d still be able to wear heels would be difficult. He so happens to be 6’7. He’s quite literally, made for me. Our birthdays are a week apart. We’ve known each other for 10 years and counting. Our views on religion, politics, and other worldly issues are the same. We both have similar goals in life. We were made for each other.

In summation, I really do believe we were created for each other. Yes we’re young, yes we probably don’t know what love is, but we have experienced what it’s like to be truly happy and comfortable with someone. We’ve experienced what it’s like to be so deeply connected to someone. And I wouldn’t have changed it for the world. Time is not a measure of how much you love someone.
