A true soul mate

“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 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 get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.”                                                                                   ~ Elizabeth Gilbert

Definitely doesn't sound like the traditional, romanticized version of a soul mate. I'm not sure I'd want to meet her version of a soul mate. As many layers as I have, if there are still any that I'm unaware of then maybe it's for the better.

Not it does not. But considering the year that I've had. This sounds like my soul mate. So now time to see what else is out there that I can get into. I will never be desperate and out of control but I have and will transform my life..... because that is what I do!
