My Journey... (So Far)

But rather than go through all of my story, I thought I would start with the cliff notes and then just keep my journal updated as it progresses.

Because it is progressing.

But let’s start with the sensible place. The beginning. Maybe… nine months ago?

The First Encounter

It was a Tuesday. Of course it was a Tuesday. Nothing ever happens on a Tuesday, except when everything happens.

I walked into my local coffee shop like I had a hundred times before. Same order, same table, same routine. The owner knows me, I don’t even have to say anything. But spirit had other plans.

That’s when I saw him.

It wasn’t love at first sight. Contrary to what some people will tell you, it’s not always love. Sometimes it can even be anger. The only certainity is that you’ll not miss them.

No, it was more like recognition. Like my soul suddenly remembered something it had long forgotten.

There was an urge. A longing. A pull. I think I actually just stared at him at first. When he noticed, I didn’t even feel that oops I’m staring feeling. I just kept looking.

Our eyes met, and I swear time did that cliché thing where it slows down. Except it wasn’t cliché. It was real, and it was intense, and it was… terrifying.

The Honeymoon Phase

For a while, it was perfect. Almost too perfect. The hairs at the back of my neck stood up and the universe tried to warn me that it was just… too easy.

I didn’t listen of course. I didn’t want to listen. I just wanted to fall deeper and deeper.

We fell into sync so easily, it was like we’d been doing this for lifetimes.

… Maybe we had.

Every day brought new discoveries, yet felt comfortably familiar. We finished each other’s sentences, laughed at the same obscure jokes, and could communicate volumes with just a glance.

Talking was easy. Silence was easy. It was just easy.

Our connection was electric. We stayed up talking until dawn more times than I can count, and it never felt like enough.

We didn’t even sleep together… at first.

Growth and Healing

But it wasn’t just about the good times. We challenged each other, pushed each other to grow in ways we never expected.

Old wounds started to heal. Insecurities that had plagued me for years began to fade. It was like his mere presence was a balm for my soul.

We brought out the best in each other. I found strength I didn’t know I had, and watched him blossom in ways that left me in awe.

For those first few months, everything felt right with the world. Like all the puzzle pieces of my life had finally fallen into place. This was it. Everything I had wanted.

Everything I had been looking for.

But…

The Storm Hits

They say if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Damn, I hate when “they” are right.

I don’t know if every twin flame couple has to go through a separation stage but it does seem incredibly common. As it turns out, we still had work to do on ourselves.

Neither of us was really ready for that level of connection.

Our intensity became our downfall. We had opened up old wounds to heal them, but instead, we found ourselves triggering each other’s deepest insecurities.

I’ve since learned this is meant to happen. It’s part of the process.

What started as gentle nudges towards growth turned into unintentional pushes off emotional cliffs. Our mirror-like connection began reflecting shadows we weren’t ready to face.

The Separation

It wasn’t a dramatic blowup. No screaming matches or broken dishes. Just a quiet, mutual realization that we were hurting more than healing.

We decided - reluctantly, painfully - that we needed space. Time to work on ourselves individually before we could hope to be healthy together.

It felt like ripping off a part of myself. Like voluntarily stepping into a void.

But deep down, beneath the ache and the longing, there’s a whisper. A knowing.

This isn’t the end of our story. It’s just… a necessary chapter.

So here I am. Alone, but not really. Working on myself, healing, growing. Trusting that when the time is right, our paths will align again.

Because that’s the thing about twin flames. They always find their way back.
