“An Eastern Asian legend originating in China and also referred to in Japanese mythology as well. According to this myth, the gods would tie an invisible red string around men and women who were meant to be soul mates and in time, would marry one another. This magical string can twist, tangle, or stretch, but the ‘bond’ will neverbreak. The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstances.”

I’m almost 20, but today I realized I spend approximately 30 more seconds during my walk to class everyday to avoid stepping on the cracks between the sidewalk. Possibly out of fear that some giant vortex will open up from the ground and suck me into an alternate reality! 

Most of my dreams consist of school, professors, tests, and books.  I think I’ve let education become a greater part of me, than recreation. :/

Danke Schoen Virgie Rainey, Danke Schoen.

Ancient Greece claims humans originally consisted of four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces.  Zeus feared their power and decided to split them in half, condemning us to spend the rest of our lives searching for those other two arms, head, and legs-to complete us.

In the midst of a silly argument, I began contemplating the possibilities of two souls aligning to become one.  It’s almost like the alignment of planets, except when the planets align, we will become one with a vast amount of consequences.

However, that’s not the point of this.  The point I’m trying to make is that you will find your soulmate. Maybe not today or not tomorrow, but he is out there. In fact, you’ll search high on every mountain, and low under every rock until you find him.  You will search so much, that you will begin to settle for less.  You will become so desperate, that you will try to find your soulmate even in the most inconvenient of partners. When you finally find him, you will either keep him and spend the rest of your life in bliss knowing that you found him, or you will loose him and weep night after night in hopes of his return.

You see, to me your soulmate is not that guy that you met one night at a bar, while you were drunk possibly trying to get over your ex-boyfriend.  He’s not the guy that you fall into a whirlwind romance over a period of 6 months, and have the best days of your life for a couple of months and then realize he was just the rebound all along. He’s not the guy that proposed to you after that six month grace after saving you that one night, when your heel got stuck in a crack in the middle of the street while a car was coming. Finally, he is definitely not the guy you pray night after night to become your soulmate.  For soulmates are not forced, they just are. I’m not saying, it can’t happen.  In fact, I’ve read of many people who do fell in love and got married in a short period of time and still remain together, but I guess the pessimist in me chooses to believe otherwise.

For me, your soulmate is the one that you can truly be yourself with.  When you start dancing in the middle of the room for no reason, he won’t judge you. Instead he’ll laugh and will love you more for being so bold and cute.  He will put up with all your stupid little arguments and fits, and instead of walking away, he will be the one to calm you down and apologize even if you started it.  He’s the boy that makes you doubt you were ever in love before. Even if at that time, you truly believed you were.  He may not be a Disney prince and you a princess, but your love story is as beautiful and complicated as theirs.  He doesn’t constantly need to tell you he loves you, because you just know.  You know he’s going to be with you no matter how many times you mess up.  Even if he leaves you, and you break up, you know he’s going to come back someday because destiny has already decided you are meant to be.  Your love will be so strong and passionate, that one day when you are sitting next to eachother at the end of your lives, you will reflect back and never regret anything.  You will never regret the darkness that once took over your relationship, because without it, you would just be another couple.  You know you would give up anything for him, but don’t have to.

That, is a soulmate ♥.
