He was the first man Id ever felt emotionally and mentally in sync with.
To the young, naive me back then, he was larger than life.
Our love was larger than life.

I concluded that life was unfair.
I resented that I never got what I wanted.
Our intense connection had me convinced that I had found my soulmate.
Worse, I lost my soulmate, and so I turned my back against love.
See, I have a tattoo that says, Wait and youll know.
Its hard to see it when youre still attached and grieving.
You deserve 100%, and youll have 100% when you stop accepting otherwise.
Heres a reminder:Love, mental connection, or hot sex is not enough.
Its your turn to do whats good foryou.
I remember looking at my soulmate as though he was the only man who ever existed.
I wouldnt choose any of my exes.
I was stuck in a mess I called love because I didnt know any better.
My world was so small then.
Today, Im happier than ever.
The word soulmate seems so marginal now compared to the life we have together.
I hope you feel empowered to raise your bar to100%,too.
