Sometimes you find a person and you think he or she is your soulmate. It truly feels that way at least, your perfect other half. Until you see yourself for who you really are, see all the things that could go better in your life and actually start working on it.*
The friend who decided to not join you for the ride that seemed very bumpy at first stayed behind.
What seems to her to be a little while later. But to you it is not so simple anymore as you scaled mountains, faced yourself, grew up and placed cornerstones to what would become your new temple of life.
Looking at her you notice that she is a reflection of who you used to be, things have changed.
You will remember her forever becasue without her, you would never have gotten to where you are right now.
