I was scrolling online and sitting in my room like I always do. With everything being shut down it felt as if I was trapped, and my depression was bringing me down. I wasn't one to put myself out there so meeting people was hard for me. So, I lay in this bed day in and day out looking at the same walls wanting my life to change but doing nothing about it.

I got on my apps and started scrolling through videos not paying attention. It was the same boring people doing the same thing over and over. I was about to give up and go to bed when I saw this woman's picture and she caught my eye. I think I watched the video about ten times. Her eyes caught my eye, they were beautiful but also looked so haunted.

I wanted to reach out to her, but I doubt a woman like that would ever want a man like me. I didn't reach out to her, but I did like her video and decided that if she ever popped up again then I would say something. I am sure she has plenty of men hitting on her and I just didn't have the confidence to put myself out there.

I got off the app and decided to play one of my games on my phone, but I couldn't concentrate because I kept thinking about her. I really wish I had added her so I'd see if she posted anything else now, I may never see those eyes again, and for some reason that saddened me way more than it should have. I don't know what it was about her, but I felt as if she was calling out for me.

I have never felt so moved by someone I had never met or spoken to before. It was just her picture, but I swore it said a million things and it had me needing to know more about her. I needed to see her again. I needed to know why those beautiful eyes looked so haunted and if there was anything I could do to make those blue eyes shine bright again.

If I came across one of her videos again then I would know it was fate that I was meant to see her. I had a feeling she would end up being a huge part of my life and I didn't know why. I knew nothing about her, yet I felt a connection, unlike anything I had ever felt. In my heart, I knew I would see her beautiful face again and when I did it would change my life forever. I didn't know how true that would end up being.

I put my phone away and lay down, feeling at peace for the first time in a long time. It didn't take long for me to drift off to sleep and dream of her. She has enchanted me and now all I could do was think of her. I knew nothing about her, why has she invaded my mind this much? Normally I have nightmares and wake up all hours of the night. Since seeing her face, I just feel as if she is this light shining through my darkness. Maybe she has been what I needed all along.
