Word of caution here: It can be incredibly useful to have other people in your life to help you understand your experience and I’m not a fan of cutting people out of your twin flame journey. But we do have to understand how hard it can be for people to understand the intensity when they haven’t been through it themselves.
I’ve been getting asked this question, along with similar ones like ‘why is it taking you so long?’ or statements like ‘it’s time for you to find a new one.’
it gets really frustrating for me because it’s not like i’m not living my own life (while i navigate through growth in this journey), and it’s not like i can explain this whole twin flame journey for the people around me to understand.
sometimes their words get into my head but at the same time, i just try to brush them off. i’m open about my love for my dm, and it really bugs me to be told that i should just simply not hope anymore because we’re never going to reconcile.
he’s simply not just an ex. i wish people could see that instead of me looking like a thoughtless fool.’
The twin flame connection is often misunderstood by those who haven’t experienced it. It’s a bond that goes beyond typical relationships, making it challenging to explain to others why ‘moving on’ isn’t as straightforward as they might think.
The Twin Flame Dilemma: Why Can’t You Just Move On?
It’s Not Just Another Relationship
A twin flame connection is a soul-deep bond that transcends ordinary relationships. Your twin flame isn’t just an ex – they’re a part of you. This connection often feels predestined, as if your souls made an agreement long before you met in this lifetime.
The Misunderstanding of Others
Friends and family naturally want you to move on, especially if they see you struggling. However, their well-intentioned advice often comes from a place of misunderstanding. They might say things like:
-
‘It’s time to find someone new’
-
‘Why is it taking you so long to get over them?’
These comments can be hurtful, but remember, they come from a place of care, even if it doesn’t feel that way.
The Journey of Growth
The twin flame journey offers a profound opportunity for personal growth. While others might see you as stuck, you’re actually on a journey of self-discovery. This period of separation is not about forgetting, but about becoming.
Navigating the Twin Flame Path
Embracing Your Truth
Honor your feelings and experiences, even when others don’t understand. Your journey is valid, and you don’t need external validation to know that. Trust your intuition and the lessons you’re learning along the way.
Finding Support
Seek out communities and individuals who understand the twin flame journey. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people can provide comfort and validation when you need it most.
Focus on Self-Love
Use this time to deepen your relationship with yourself. The more you grow and heal, the more you align with your highest self – and potentially, with your twin flame.
There’s no timeline for this journey. Each path is unique, and what matters most is your personal growth and happiness. Trust the process, and know that you’re exactly where you need to be.
