I Know I Found The One

I didn't see you coming, but now that you're here I'm ready for you always.

I Know I Found The One
Ariel Funke

I'm not the kind of girl who has many boyfriends, and I am not the kind to put all of my trust into one boy either. But sometimes there is that one guy who comes around and flips your world upside down. He is my soulmate, and I know he is the one I want to spend the rest of my existence with.

We met in an art class, and to me, he was just another guy. Slowly, and I mean VERY slowly, we began to chat. As he would make the effort to speak to me in class I would give him super short answers and turn my attention back to my computer. Eventually, I found myself looking forward to his attempts to strike a conversation and I would glance at him any chance I got. It was like something inside of my clicked and I had to get to know this guy.

Me, being the socially awkward person I am, didn't know how to approach such a situation. So what did I do? Went all out. We were at an event with separate organizations, and I felt the need to talk to him. So I found him on Facebook and messaged him basically begging him to come back to the event and hang out with me. The kind person that he is came back and we chatted all night. It was that moment that I knew I wanted to be with him. We were in contact almost all of the time, and weirdly, I couldn't get enough.

We kept hanging out, getting to know each other, and next thing I know we were walking out of the hospital (that's a whole other story) hand-in-hand officially dating. Since then, it's been so wonderful. He's taught me so much about myself and about how to love another person.

He sits there and listens to everything I have to say. The days that I can't stop crying, he holds me close and assures me that everything will be better. Because of him everything is better. He is an amazing cook, which is great because my cooking skills are terrible. Whatever I need or want he does his best to provide it for me. He encourages me to be my best self, and has opened doors for me that I wasn't willing to open by myself. He keeps me sane when the world around me has gone crazy. He is a total goofball, and is always keeping me on my toes. Really, the list is endless.

He truly is an amazing person, and my perfect match. Because of him I believe in love, and the idea of a happily ever after. I know that in him I found the one. The one that society always talks about being that person you spend all of your life with. That's him, and I am so happy he is mine, and all of the adventures we have had and will continue to have. I can't thank him enough for all that he does. There will never be enough words to string together for him to know how I feel and how much I appreciate him.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
