Soulmates...

Most people I have met seem to think that a soulmate is their perfect fit, potentially their life partner...and that is what everyone wants.

Now isn't that total hokum! (forgive my bluntness)

It's like people believe all you need to do to is like the same bands  or singers in order to be soulmates...or book. 

Exbihit A: "omg...You like Paulo Coelho's The Zahir too...wow it's like we're the same person!"

No we're not!it's like we have the same English teacher. There's a difference... 

I think 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.(not always in the gentlest way possible but who can blame them?)

But to live with a soul mate forever? Hell NO! 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...

Lucky are those who met their soulmates, and for those who just realised it was not who they thought, take your torch lights and go on into the night. Somebody is out there.
