I Waited For My Soulmate

Little did I know, I was waiting for him to walk into my life. He took my heart by storm and swept me off my feet.

I Waited For My Soulmate
Zoe Neilson

Fine, you can say I’m crazy, there’s no such thing as soulmates. Say love, at first sight, is an old soul romantic's dream.

It’s okay to be cynical and to have your own opinions. Don’t make fun of me or anyone else who believes they found their soulmate. Just like you have your beliefs, I have mine.

I believe waiting for my soulmate was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Relationships aren’t easy, and finding them is even harder. Going through the motions of dating, never feeling like you’ve found the RIGHT person...

Sometimes, it might feel as though you should just give up. You’ve been in crappy relationships, and you’ve got baggage on top of baggage. You’re scared, and believe the world of romance just isn’t for you.

I can tell you that I felt all of that. I felt the pains of feeling lost. I’ve been through my fair share of shitty relationships with really shitty people.

I’ve been through those relationships where you thought, "Wow this is going to work." The next day, they're out the door.

For eight years, I believed I was going to be alone. Forever.

Then, I met a person. He caught me off guard; I wasn’t prepared for what exactly he would mean to me. I doubted it instantly, because of that baggage.

Don’t.

Please don’t doubt when someone genuine comes into your life. Understand that it took time for them to find you and you to find them.

Let yourself find love again.

It’s okay, let your guard down. I did. For eight years I doubted love, but I’m so thankful I waited.

Little did I know, I was waiting for him, my soulmate, to walk into my life. He took my heart by storm and swept me off my feet. To this day, he still surprises me.

Remember, not everything will be perfect. It’s not a movie, it’s life. Romance and love take time and effort. Don’t become hesitant again when things go haywire.

It’s a test.

You’re being tested together on how well you can weather the storm.

After eight years, I wake up with a smile on my face and my love by my side. I’m so glad I waited. Let me tell you, it was worth it.

If I were to go back, I wouldn’t change a thing. Waiting and learning from failed relationships, growing on my own, getting to where I am today, all brought me to him.

Trust me. Wait.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
