Do You Believe in Soul Mates?

Hey, guys!

Happy Christmas!

I hope wherever you are, and whoever you’re with, you’re having a great one.

Loads of you have asked me to write more about Brooklyn Boy and I could really do with your advice, so here goes.

I’ve always thought that the idea of soul mates—the idea that there’s someone out there especially for you—sounds so cool and romantic, but I’ve never imagined it happening to me.

Like, I could imagine that somewhere in the 7 billion people on the planet there may be a boy who’s just right for me, but knowing my luck he’d be living in the middle of the Amazon rain forest or a desert in Ethiopia and our paths would never meet.

But then I met Brooklyn Boy.

And the weirdest thing has happened.

Even though I’ve only known him for a few days, in many ways, in important ways, it feels as if I’ve known him forever.

So, I still don’t know who his favorite band is, or his favorite flavor ice cream, but I do know that I can tell him anything.

And I know that I can cry in front of him and show him my weak side and I know that he won’t judge me at all.

And I know that he can cry in front of me and show me his weak side and I won’t judge him either—it just makes me like him even more.

It’s so hard to try to describe how I’m feeling. The best way to put it is that when I’m with him I feel like I’ve met my matching person.

Like Cinderella and Prince Charming.

Or Barbie and Ken. (Hmm, not sure that’s such a great example but you know what I mean.)

Can any of you relate to what I’m saying?

Have any of you felt this way before?

Do you think he might be my soul mate?

Could I really have been lucky enough to meet the one for me? And not have to go trekking through a rain forest or desert to find him!

Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Lots of love,

PS: If you haven’t already worked it out, I’m still here—in New York! We’ve been able to stay until New Year’s Day. And we’re staying in Brooklyn Boy’s house!! Fairy tales really can happen
