“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
