it's just one of those days...
Disclaimer: What you are about to read is one woman's perception on having met her soul mate. Her version doesn't really mean that it's applicable to everyone. She believes in this, but it may not be true to everyone else.
An excerpt from Elizabeth Gilbert's book Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia:
"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attentions so you can change your life.
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself, and then to leave.
A soul mate's purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can go in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master..."
To my future soul mate,
I'm not exactly wishing for us to end up together, forever. I still haven't met you yet, but I do hope your soul will find mine.
