“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’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 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 they leave.
…David’s purpose was to shake you up, drive you out of that marriage that you needed to leave, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light could get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you had to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master and beat it. That was his job, and he did great, but now it’s over. Problem is, you can’t accept that this relationship had a real short shelf life.
…See, now that’s your problem. You’re wishin’ too much, baby. You gotta stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone oughtta be.” - Elizabeth Gilbert

“‘This is an artistic operation which documents through art the problem that we have in Italy. They’re always telling us lies, both the Left and the Right,’ [Graziano Cecchini] said.
The significance appeared to be in the Italian word for balls (’palle‘) which can also mean untruths.”

the other day a stranger asked if i had a bit of French in me; i wish i knew. this was discussed over dinner and concluded it is probable due to ‘french prostitutes and all’ during the imperialist regime in Vietnam. ‘beautiful mixed children started popping up all over the countryside,’ according to ma mere. all i know is: ‘la carotte’ is used accordingly in the Vietnamese language.
