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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
