Hi everyone 
I thought I’d start by sharing my story. I’ll keep it short, but if anyone has questions (or advice), I am happy to follow up.
My journey might be a little tame and boring compared to some of the others around here. I think I got lucky, or maybe we’ve already been here before and done some of the work (but I’m not sure anyone gets that).
To start with, my story looked the same as everyone’s. We meet, head over heels romance and magnetic pull. Then life threw obstacles our way - different countries, careers, commitments.
We never had an angry blowup, breakup or separation trigger where one was angry at the other (although I do see the value in that), but I did go through the dark night of the soul phase when we were apart. For 6 months, I could barely function. The physical pain was intense - like my heart was being ripped out.
We kept talking a little. We would reach out every couple of days to keep in contact. We tried to keep the topics ‘light and breezy’, but I don’t know if I made it better or worse.
It might have been easier if I could be angry at him.
That pain and hurt led me to find the twin flame collective. It opened my eyes to the deeper purpose behind all of this. It made me understand why it didn’t seem to make sense.
I didn’t have this moment of doubt. The moment I understood what the connection was, it was just a lightbulb moment.
After that realization, I learned to sit with the intensity instead of fighting it. The physical pain transformed into deep inner knowing. We started communicating on a soul level beyond words.
I saw the telepathy, the number of synchronicities and the spiritual side of my world opened up. Fighting the connection only made things worse. When I finally surrendered and focused on my own growth, things started flowing naturally…
Now we are back in the same country. Obstacles have transformed into opportunities. We had a wonderful and intimate wedding. Now we get to share Christmas in our new home together for the first time. But the real miracle isn’t living together - it’s how peaceful everything feels.
The intense push-pull energy transformed into steady warmth.
Since reaching union, it’s not like things just went back to normal. The healing seems to continue for both of us but rather than anger and hurt we can face those moments together with love and support instead of running.
Each challenge makes our bond stronger, but it’s all about the small things we face so far. Like trying to decide who gets to put the star on top of the tree 
The most beautiful part isn’t the big moments - it’s waking up each morning knowing we’ve created a safe space to be completely ourselves. No masks, no games, just pure acceptance.
