I thought I knew who my person was in my last relationship, but that turned out to not be true. So how do I know when I have truly found my person? Do the stars just align and things begin to fall into place more? Is there a specific feeling? Does life just become easier knowing when I’ve found someone that truly likes, loves, appreciates, and respects me? How do you know?

“When you know, you know” is what I said about my last relationship, so now it feels like I don’t really know.

Friends hoped that we would be the couple goals; they had never seen me happier in a relationship. Friends thought my life was together and happy because of the outward expression of our love. But it turned out to come crumbling down in the end.

So how do you know? When do you know? Is that just part of life’s greatest mysteries?
