IT

I'm a big believer in the whole relationship/soul mate bond. I believe that when you find it, it's the most beautiful thing to have in the world. Because it means that, no matter what happens, you have it to fall back on. You can survive anything because of it.

Single people, especially single people without an extensive network of close friends, don't have it. You can't duplicate it with close friends, even if they are your Best Friends Forever.

I see couples and families that have it, though. They have that bond and it's beautiful.

I don't have it, and I want it. I want it because I think it would make my life better, that it would make the good days sweeter and the bad days less bitter, that it would make my life experience all the more warm and wonderful.

I don't think it is all that common. That's a travesty.

I thought I had it at one point in time, earlier this year. I was lying to myself. I've never had it.
