Venting | Eat Pray Love

“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, Eat, Pray, Love

it's tearing me apart.

i feel like i'm losing myself.

i jumped ship.

{lost}

a year and a half with quinn.

a year ago today, i bought quinn and i surprise tickets to go skydiving for our 6 month anniversary.

but they had special group deals, so i invited our friends molly, brian, and bill.

while we were training, we watched a video of the entire skydiving process.

my mom was so mesmerized by the video that she decided to splurge the extra $100 for me to have pictures and a video taken of my experience. (thanks mom.)

my friend bill also decided to splurge, so we were able to take the same plane up.

that's pretty much how the experience went. but you will never get the full effect unless you try it for yourself.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

since molly, quinn, and brian didn't get the premium package, their plane went up first.

they came back TOTALLY ECSTATIC.

it was a mind blowing and sensory overloading experience.

and a perfect gift for quinn.

and even though we're not able to share our day together, i've been more than lucky to spend the last year and a half with him.

he is my everything. to infinity and beyond.

love and light, xo
