Hindsight is like foresight, without a future

"All towns have corners of happiness," says Italo Calvino, "if you know what to look for."





He probably was......Your problem is you don´t understand what that word means. People think a soul mate is a perfect fit, and that´s what everyone wants. But 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 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.

Truth doesn't set us free
I can say i love you

but all it means is
that love is
not enough

Pico Iyer
