Think of your “one who got away” for a moment. The one person you love, even after all these years. Even if they don’t ‘deserve’ that love or never really earned it.
Think about the one who hurt you the most, who left you feeling like your heart had been stomped on, spit on and then rolled over by a dozen Mack Trucks. Who left you for dead (or might as well have), but taught you so much about yourself in the process.
Think about the person who swept into your world like a whirlwind, rocking the core of your being, changing what you knew about yourself and the life you lived. The one who left as quickly as she came but left an indelible mark on your heart, life and the way you love.
Many people think that soul mate means the one you are predestined to be with forever; that a soul mate is your perfect fit. Many of us live to meet that person – the one who will fit like a glove. My definition of soul mate is not nearly as romantic. I think of a soul mate as a person who you do “soul work” with — someone who opens your eyes and life to new things, introduces you to a new side of you.
A true soul mate is a person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings your “crap” to your attention so you can change and grow for the better. Soul work involves tackling issues, questions, problems and everything else head-on. A soul mate will open up your heart and mind until you can’t ignore the elephant in the room or brush certain things about yourself under the rug anymore.
A soul mate tears down your barriers and awakens you on some level, revealing another layer of you.
