Here is a quote from Eat Pray Love that I thought was interesting...
"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 you 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." ~Richard from Texas
I agree with alot of this statement, in fact I agree with all of it up until the leaving portion. Is it really too painful to stay with a soul mate forever? What if that soul mate is also your best friend- does this change things? I am still learning about love, but the romantic in me would like to believe that this statement is not entirely true.
