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 attention so you can change your life.

“Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.”--Rumi 

“Should you ever feel too lonely...listen for the roar of the sea - for in it are all those who've been and all those who are to come.”--Simon Van Booy, 'The Coming and Going of Strangers' 

"The best thing you can possibly do with your life is to tackle the motherfucking shit out of it.”--Cheryl Strayed, 'Tiny Beautiful Things'
