Never plan your life around someone else, it's a common recipe to become resentful and bitter when things don't work out; the best journeys happen when you are focused on yourself whilst being around people who are also focused on themselves; if your core values are aligned, you will naturally walk in the same direction at the same pace, and the relationship will keep flourishing effortlessly.
Our longest journey is the search for our soul and it must be walked alone. Along the way we discover hidden treasures, surprises that reveal who we truly are.
