As I lay in my bed, trying to get my mind to slow down, I can't help but think about the idea of soul mates. Do they really exist? Or are they just some idea made up to sell stories? I'm a hopeless romantic, so a big part of me wants to hold on to the fact that I do have a soul mate. Isn't the idea of that just amazing?

Imagine meeting a person who is absolutely perfect for you in every single way. No matter what is going on in your life, they are someone that you can always turn to for support, advice, love, and everything you need or want. Thinking about my mystery person gives me hope for the future, even when I want to give up on myself.

You might be wondering why I said person instead of man or woman, and that's because I am a bisexual 20 year old woman. I love people regardless what gender they do or don't identify with. I think it's silly to limit your options for loving others.

But as I look out my window, I keep thinking. What is my soul mate doing right now? Are they even in the same country as I am? Are they more of a cat or dog person? Maybe they have trouble falling asleep like I do. I really hope they care about other living things as much as I do.

All of these thoughts don't help my brain calm down, but rather spark a bizzare web of thoughts and questions that I may never get answers to. I guess that's the whole point of believing in soul mates though, believing that eventually you'll get to meet them and they'll be able to answer every question you can possibly think of.

And now, as the time on my phone reads 1am, I think that I should really try and get some sleep before I have to wake up for my online class meeting. I hope my dreams give me any sort of clue as to who my mystery person is.

Goodnight all, I hope your life is treating you well.
