A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life. 
-Richard Bach

"Even if you live to be 100, it's really a very short time.  So why not spend it undergoing this process of evolution, of opening your mind and heart, connecting with your true nature-rather that getting better and better at fixing, grasping, freezing, closing down." 
-Pema Chodron   

“The moment in between what you once were, and who you are now becoming,

"Don't rely on someone else for your happiness
and self-worth. Only you can be responsible for 
that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no 
one else will be able to make that happen. 

Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as you see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different."

-Stacey Charter
