hopeless romantic

Today I started thinking about relationships and soulmates. It's hard to imagine living life complete as one person, and then all of a sudden living another life complete with 2 people. It's kind of hard for me to imagine finding and being with one person who seems to "complete me" after everything I have seen in college the past couple of years. Relationships are hard enough with emotions and stress, but the break-ups are even worse. It puts a shadow on my way of thinking because I feel the guy I end up with will either be a liar or something to that sort. All of the TV shows out there have a couple getting along when they are together but as soon as they are separated, it's a whole different story. Everyone is dating, then breaking up. Everyone is getting married, then getting divorced. Everyone falls in love, then falls out of love. It amazes me how so many people fall in and out of love so quickly. It's taking me 21 years just to know what love is, let alone actually performing the action. Is it really possible to find that one special person that you're meant to be with that simple? It has gotten more and more complicated as time passes by and I'm afraid that when I finally join the game of life and love, there will be brand new rules that I won't understand and I'll be that hopeless romantic mess.
