“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’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention 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 to you, and then they leave. And thank God for it.”

-Eat. Pray. Love.

In all reality my life has changed. It’s been the most structured it’s ever been in my entire life. Sure, there is room for improvement still but I’m glad of the direction. My relationship with God, the student I’ve become, my inner-strength and humility, the efforts of being a good friend, the people in my life has all gone to another level I didn’t know could exist. I faced some of my fears and overcame them. It took me a long time, but in the end, I’ve never felt prouder. In the context of this definition, I guess you were my soul mate. You served your purpose and now I go onward.
