Soulmates

The right people make your soul feel rested.

Some people, however lovely, leave you drained. You spend the whole time performing, watching your words, managing their moods.

And then there are the ones who leave you rested. You come home from time with them feeling lighter, more like yourself, less alone in the world.

Pay attention to how your soul feels after someone. Your body usually knows before your head does.

The people who rest your soul are the ones worth keeping close.
