“People think that 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 your 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.”
“But I love him.”
“So love him.”
“But I miss him.”
“So miss him. […] But here’s what you gotta understand. If you clear out all that space in your mind that you’re using right now to obsess about this guy, you’ll have a vacuum there, an open spot - a doorway. And guess what the universe will do with that doorway? It will rush in and fill you with more love than you ever dreamed.
“But I wish…”
“You gotta stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone oughtta be.”
- Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert
