I have this problem with overthinking and psyching myself out, I have tried to ask him out but I can’t! Honestly, just talking to him outside of school is a hard enough task. I really like how you describe soulmates as being after the projections on each person is shed. I definitely agree soulmates is a big leap from not even being close, but I only came across the idea of soulmates when I was searching for a way to describe how I feel about/around him. I process emotions through writing about them and I can’t process this because I can’t find the words to describe it!
