“It amazes me that people think
their soul mate is going to show up
in their life at this predestined time
and be this flawless person.
A true soul mate is a mirror of yourself,
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.
Sure, they have a common upbringing,
similar interests but they have
the one thing you don’t have
which is the introspection to help you become great.
What use is a soul mate
if they can’t help free you from yourself
so you can live your life mission?”
