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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
