Syrah

We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at baby showers and work events, brunch and book club, graduations and funerals. Yet no one ever questions alcohol’s ubiquity—in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn’t drink. It is a qualifier for belonging and if you don’t imbibe, you are considered an anomaly. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some kind of magic elixir, though it is anything but.

I never really believed in soulmates until I was 34. Previously, I only had deep love connections. That changed when I met my first soulmate. The experience and energy was almost indescribable...and so powerful, that I was devastated when the encounter was short lived. I yearned to have this connection again, but I thought that surely people didn't have more than one soulmate. I was 100% wrong, because more soulmate encounters followed with increased intensity.
