i went on a family cruise, and i genuinely believe i met the love of my life. i know it's a stupid thing to say since im only 16 years old, but ive never felt this kind of immediate connection with someone before. ive had many people in my life who I've loved and cared about, but this was something so completely different that I can't stop thinking about it. it was almost like the moment we met i felt attached to him, even though i didn't even know it myself until i found myself texting him saying he should leave his room (he had been hiding in there because he didn't have much to do). we hung out in a teen area, played video games, went to the arcade, grabbed food together, and just talked and got closer. after 3 days, we had started flirting and it was the best feeling of my life. we share political beliefs which is something so important to me and it just all felt perfect. but im in the us, and hes in england. will i ever see him again? i feel like im mourning what we could've been.
