Pleasant Encounter

"When people come to me asking about their soul mate because they think it would be incredible when they find it,  I laugh at them.  A relationship with your soul mate is guaranteed to be one full of thorns, because they're supposed to mold you,  challenge you so hard and show you sides of yourself you never even knew existed and yet bring out the best in you. It ain't a bed of roses. But no matter how much you drive them away,  they will find their way back to you. Always. It's the kinda connection none of us understands.  It just is. "

Yup,  that's what Michelle said. I finally opened up to her about my recent experience.  I feel better and much lighter as its something I haven't been able to share with my nearest and dearest ones for a while now. She helped me to see things from a different perspective and unlike others,  with absolutely no judgements or even what-the-fuck moments.

She reminded me that letting go of something or someone isn't equal to giving up.  It's just passing on the control and outcome of the situation to a higher power because we as humans with small minds,  are also small in our ways and thoughts. And the universe is able to see right through our hearts and understands us better than we even understand ourselves.  It's ways are unlimited and is very often not the same as our ways. It is also able to open doors which we can't open.

Because there's always something to learn in our experiences,  in my case,  it brought out the ability I never knew I had.  The ability to love another person unconditionally,  seeing their imperfections,  yet love them anyway.  Not everyone is blessed with it,  and for that,  I am thankful. 

What's funny is even she couldn't figure out why was I hearing the same song everywhere I go till today.  "all of me loves all of you",  yes that's the song. My driver who doesn't understand English suddenly listens to that song in the radio, a student in my school sings that on my face when the school hours were over and we were alone in the building,  my brother who starts off spinning suddenly using that song and he hates John Legend,  walking past a restaurant and heard the band screaming to that song, talking to a waitress only to find that her fav song is "all of me" and many more. From Jakarta to Bali,  that song has just practically followed me everywhere like a shadow. 

Too much for a coincidence... So perhaps a sign?
