Today's question comes from Camilla from North Carolina.

Camilla's question [edited for brevity's sake]

"Hi, this is Camilla calling from North Carolina.

There's someone from my childhood, and we've tried things on and off, but it hasn't worked, and we live in different states. 

I feel that we're supposed to be together in my heart, and I'm waiting on life to just do that.  What if you feel that you're meant to be with someone, but life doesn't work that way?"
