"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.”
- Eat, Pray, Love
I don't usually post quotes (unless it's been spoken by Dolly Parton) because this is a place for me to find my own words and also, I think it's a bit cheesy. But this one just got me.
Sometimes I think M. is too hard on me. I'm not use to tough love - for better or for worse - my parents made everything easy for me, they made being me, easy. And now, the world is sorta like, you're gonna have to work a little harder at being happy and being you. And I know M. just wants to help get me there. I kinda knew what he was doing but couldn't articulate it in the way the author did above.
Thanks, words.
