"Let me tell you this:
if you meet a loner,
no matter what they tell you,
it's not because they enjoy solitude.
It's because they have tried to blend into the world before,
and people continue to
disappoint them."
-Jodi Picoult
I hope it's not too cliché to borrow some quotes from Eat. Pray. Love.
I spent a lot of time this weekend learning about myself.
Its always hard to look at yourself honestly and evaluate fears and weaknesses.
I am always surprised by how much I actually need people sometimes.
I am so very much still in a learning process and a discovery process about life.
Maybe it will get easier, maybe it will get harder...only time will tell.
Trying to be brave.
"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort.
You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it.
You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings.
And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it.
You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it."
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.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
