i'm with my soulmate and i feel this incredible sense of freedom and vulnerability that can only be born from the purest form of love. without words, i love her and she loves me. without question, i complete her and she completes me. happiness becomes an afterthought cuz it's a given and we're imperfectly perfect for each other... that is, until i wake up. i've had similar dreams a handful of times throughout my life and it always makes me wonder, "how?" - i've never met anyone like that before nor have i ever felt that way with any girl, yet my brain is able to somehow emulate that feeling and scenario to the point that it feels intensely real. i've always been very different from most people in the way i think and feel, especially when it comes to something like love, and it’s often been (mis)construed as me being emotionally unavailable. so it's interesting that these dream scenarios where i'm with this person that makes me feel what i've never felt or expressed is more like the stereotypical idea of love and what it looks like. it just made me realize that no matter how different you are, love is love when it’s right for you. you might not be sure what it looks like yet, but you’ll know if/when you find it.
