"Have you ever thought about it?"
Natalie asks it again, but I still have no answer for her. How am I supposed to respond? How can I explain that I believe in soulmates. That I think I can feel their pain.
"Yeah, I've considered it." That's a safe answer, right? Natalie is very understanding but even she would laugh if I tell her how I really feel. The anxiety gripping my chest is the only reason I haven't told anyone yet. Of the mysterious pain that arises within my body without cause. The dull ache in my ankle and knees even though I dont exercise or exert any physical activity.
"What about you?" I counter before she can ask anything more. I need to be careful with what I say, even around my sister.
"Hm," she pauses and stares out at the crashing waves of the Ocean. "Well it's a difficult topic. It's not necessarily a thing we can explain, is it?" She sighs and leans back, but keeps her grip on the railing. "Can I be completely honest with you though?"
"Of course."
"I believe in it. I believe we are all born with one soul attached to ours. That one person is the only one that will truly make us whole. Sure we are complete by ourselves, but I think that once we find that person, that we will understand completely who we are. What we need to do. To be honest, I think I can feel them. Maybe it's just my imagination, or my overthinking. But there are times when I will be sitting at work, bored, and suddenly my heart will race and my body tenses with excitement. Or I will get a pain in my leg or hip when you know I am not physically active. It stays only briefly, maybe a day or two and then it is gone. I dont know if it means something or not, but it just adds to what I believe."
Impossible.
Does she really feel the same way as I do? Does that mean I'm not actually crazy? All of the times I've felt the pain in my left leg, or the time my neck exploded with agony in the middle of class last year.
"You really believe that it's all from our soulmate?"
Natalie nods softly, her eyes never straying from the Ocean. "Yes, I do. What do you believe?"
"I," do I say it? "I think I might believe it too..."
