soul mates
Pat made me start thinking (way to go Pat!)
There are billions of people on Earth. If anyone really wants to find a soul mate, they have to search for them. What are the odds that out of all those people my soul mate was in Sherrard all along? Sure, I didn't move that far away, but the differences I've found in people here in Missouri, and people from other parts of the country and the world, have really opened my eyes to what I think I need in my life right now. No, I'm not looking to get married or have kids right now, but I now that's something I want to do in the future.
My dad keeps saying things like "Will you like living in St. Louis?" and "I don't really know Ian, but he seems like a really smart, nice guy". I think he's set his mind into "Robin is going to marry her college boyfriend" mode. We've only been dating for 5 months!
I really like Ian. I can see us being together for a long time. The only thing is that sometimes I feel like I can't trust him. I want to, and deep down I know that he wouldn't cheat on me or do me wrong, but I can't shake this doubt. When we got together he had just broken up with a girl he'd dated for 2 years. she dumped him. I could tell that hurt him. he told me he was over her, but he went to see her in D.C. (drove 1000 miles to see her), and her pictures are still on his desk. Everytime I see those pictures I feel tight inside. She is his friend. That's fine. But I can't help but feel funny when she's sitting on his desk, smiling and holding him in that picture, and the only picture of me in the room is taped to his dresser, folding over itself more and more each day.
Hmmm.......where was I going with this? Oh, soul mates. How do I know when I've found mine?
