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.

It’s about trusting in the journey and fully surrendering to it, knowing that the steps that I’m taking right now are bringing me to where I’m meant to be eventually. Even this moment, one day, as I sit here unsure of what’s to come, will be poignant and pleasing to think back on. The only thing that is clear to me right now is that my wandering isn’t finished. It can’t be. I’m not ready. I’ve missed everyone from California, and it’s still home, so when I say this, please don’t get me wrong: I’m coming home, but I have a plan. I won’t be staying for too long.”
