I know a girl that doesn’t know who she is. She wanders aimlessly trying to find something that makes her feel alive. She spends her time looking and searching for something but she doesn’t know what.

I know a girl that is lost and wants nothing more than to be found, to be told that her life has meaning and to feel worthy of those around her.

I know a girl that is jealous of the others, of their good looks and happy faces and their fearlessness.

I know a girl that is tired of crying herself to sleep because she feels so alone. She hates getting ready in the morning because she can’t stand that reflection in the mirror starring back at her.

I know a girl who hides this from those around her. She puts on a pretty little smile but they don’t see the pain within. She cares more about pleasing everyone else than making herself happy.

I know a girl who doesn’t like to burden others with her problems and just lets them build up inside of her. She puts up a wall and keeps people at a distance so they don’t have to see that side of her.

I know a girl...

She is part of all of us, yet we decide how strong that part really is and how much we let it affect our daily lives. When you give in, life sucks...but bad things happen and at times life may seem unfair; yet it’s important to always believe in yourself, because If you don’t believe in yourself who will?

"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? Nah. 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 master..." -Elizabeth Gilbert

I came across this the other day and actually really enjoyed it. I have never taken much thought to the concept of a "soul mate". But this idea I rather like.
