“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...”

“When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“Me dolía especialmente el desmoronamiento de la ternura. Vienen a mi cabeza frases que ella decía, llenas de bondad. Entonces supe que la muerte de una relación es en realidad la muerte de un lenguaje secreto. Una relación que muere da origen a una lengua muerta. Lo dijo el escritor Jordi Carrión en un estado de Facebook: «Cada pareja, cuando se enamora y se frecuenta y convive y se ama, crea un idioma que solo pertenece a ellos dos. Ese idioma privado, lleno de neologismos, inflexiones, campos semánticos y sobrentendidos, tiene solamente dos hablantes. Empieza a morir cuando se separan. Muere del todo cuando los dos encuentran nuevas parejas, inventan nuevos lenguajes, superan el duelo que sobrevive a toda muerte. Son millones, las lenguas muertas».”
