Checkmate, Soulmates.

Ever think about the day you’ll run in to your soul mate. The one of your dreams who you’ve been searching for?

I may be the luckiest person in the word to have already met some of my soul sisters. And I’m even convinced I still haven’t met all of them yet.

I've come to find my soul mates come in all shapes and sizes. Not just one either, but many, that I've met along the way. Those that are there for me at the perfect times, just as I am there for them. 

People walk in and out of your life. They always will. Nothing is permanent, nothing stays. However, how they made you feel at that period of time does. How they made you change for the better and corrected your direction and changed your path. That is what a soul mate does. Someone once told me,

"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 is 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? Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual, eternal, master." 

The hardest part of any friendship is when it's time to say goodbye. These never last forever, as hard as they are. As much as we might like things to stay the same, change is an inevitable part of life. The universe may seem huge and the rift between friends on opposite sides of the world may seem a great distance. There are many tools available, with which we can communicate, but even without these tools there is a secret that only real friends know, and it is this. All the mountains and valleys in the world cannot separate friends whose hearts are as one. Truthfully, I'm really good at goodbyes. There really easy for me. I've accepted them. But only because I know that they truly don't exist. If you love somebody and care about them enough, your relationship is eternal, it can fade, but it can never disappear.
