Sooner or later someone is going to grab you by the hand and remind you how beautiful you are, and it could be a lover, a friend or some random stranger, who ever it is, I hope you believe it and I hope you take it all in with good faith. You have the whole goddamn universe at the edge of your fingers and everyday it brings you closer... to being you. - r.m.drake

The idea of soulmates has people thinking that once they find "the one," everything is smooth sailing from there. Yu still have to communicate, face past demons, set boundaries together, build and sustain trust, and weather storms that come to tear you two apart. - unknown

"We have a natural tendency to assume that a remarkable chemistry between two souls is confirmation that they are meant to be together for life. In the heat of profound feelings, it seems counter-intuitive to imagine ourselves separate from a beloved. But chemistry and longevity are not necessarily bedfellows. Just because we feel earth-shatteringly alive with someone doesn’t mean they are supposed to be our life partner. They may have come for a very different reason—to awaken us, to expand us, to shatter us so wide open that we can never close again. Perhaps they were sent from afar to polish the rough diamond of our soul before vanishing into eternity. Perhaps they just came to give us new eyes. Better we surrender our expectations when a beloved comes. (S)he may just be dropping in for a visit." - Jeff Brown, Grounded Spirituality'
