The (Mandatory) Valentine's Post
To be honest, I am more excited for our high school reunion party than the actual V-day just because high school rocks. But here goes the mandatory (sort of.) V-Day post starting off with this Eat, Pray, Love quote also known as: a little reminder for le singles (like me). wink
“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...”~ Eat, Pray, Love
I guess that's pretty self-explanatory.

Love is the reason we are all alive now. His love, in particular, of which I believe is the greatest love of all. His love that is bountiful everyday, everywhere if we only know how and where to look for it. Not that we have to look for it, of course, but a matter of acknowledging it. This is one (if not the only one) of the reasons why I never felt lonely despite the fact that I have been single for all of my years of existence. I never felt alone because of that love.
Every Valentine's He's given me more than one person to make me feel loved. He gave me my friends, my family making that love multiplied bajillion times at large; Guy friends whom would show you simple acts of love from hugs to random holding of hands and gentleman acts that happen everyday; Friends of whom you could spend the day/night, eating somewhere, your "group date" of sorts; Family who loves you and cares for you to the greatest extent; Book boyfriends to keep your minds/heart busy with hahahaha. Isn't He like the sweetest... ever? And if the time comes that He's to give me that one person to share the rest of my life with (I know. Deep.), I just hope that we would be both in love with Him, that His love would bind us together and that, my friends, is happiness guaranteed.
And guess what? I am not in a hurry.
Happy Valentine's! Spread the love! X
