This is powerful, though I tend to believe that some soul mates stick. The ones who are also continually willing to be torn up a bit and mirrored by YOU…if you both transform and stay in the love, I believe anything is possible.

literaryjukebox:

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 mate’s 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…

I catch myself simply closing my eyes and smiling many times throughout the day. I urge you to do the same. Appreciate this moment, friends. It is the only one that is guarantied.

This almost made me cry! An epic story of a solo traveler.

Back in 1989, as the Berlin Wall fell, Gunther Holtorf and his wife Christine set out on what was meant to be an 18-month tour of Africa in their Mercedes Benz G Wagen. Now, with more than 800,000km (500,000 miles) on the clock, Gunther is still going.

For a regular traveler, hotel and/or restaurants are the main costs. He and his wife sleeps in their car, OTTO, and cook their own food. I’m intrigued though how much he spends transporting OTTO from one country to another? Sadly, his wife recently passed away but to date, Gunther still continues on his journey with OTTO.

Happy travels!

P.S. Notice his film leica cameras! :)

This is something that happened to a friend of mine in her own words.

“So, on Friday night my friend and I were at her house and wanted to get out and do something for the evening. We brainstormed ideas and she brought up the idea of seeing a show at the Laugh Factory. I’d never been, I thought…

Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:58:02 -0700

“…the wounded child inside many males is a boy who, when he first spoke his truths, was silenced by paternal sadism, by a patriarchal world that did not want him to claim his true feelings. The wounded child inside many females is a girl who was taught from early childhood that she must become something other than herself, deny her true feelings, in order to attract and please others. When men and women punish each other for truth telling, we reinforce the notion that lies are better. To be loving we willingly hear the other’s truth, and most important, we affirm the value of truth telling. Lies may make people feel better, but they do not help them to know love.”

Hold on to what is good
even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe
even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do
even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life
even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand
even when I have gone away from you.
