Hope everyone is having a great day.. and here is to another day of NC :)

…A true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you
everything that’s 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 they leave.

And thank God for it.

Loved that book...Loved that quote. Shared it with my xMM many years ago. He agreed with it all except the leaving part....ha ha He said " we are soulmates and you will be in my life forever"....what a joke. At least I can laugh about it now. Last year this time I would have been crying myself to sleep over that statement. I am really starting to feel good. On to day 6 N/C ...I am starting to feel so empowered.
