I woke up today with this thought in my head. After my boy and I broke up for the very first time, I decided to talk with my ex boyfriend and, in tears, I asked him to marry me. I knew he loved me still and I was in so much pain that I could only think in ending the suffering by getting married with someone I didn’t love but loved me and could give me what I needed. Of course he said no. And he refused just because he said that he was sure I would leave him as soon as my boy came back into my life. He didn’t want to divorce me just so I could be happy with my boy…

I was broken. I was trying to get married to forget about the boy I loved with all my heart. I hooked up with another person, twice. It was someone I had known for almost 10 years. It all went wrong. I thought it was going to be easier to go back to someone I who knew the old me, someone I could be fake and secretive around because it was comfortable. I knew I could lie to them or just wear all my masks and build my walls back up because they couldn’t see right through me.

And I see myself, right now, three years later, trying to do the same. I keep blaming my boy for being fake, for allowing himself to be hiding and not being honest. I had this thought of really wanting to ask my best friend to introduce me to someone just so I could finally forget about my boy. And that’s wrong. I don’t want to hurt someone else just because I’m sad. I don’t want to play games and I don’t want to hurt myself.

Yesterday I was thinking about reactivating my Instagram account and the thought of seeing him there makes me anxious because I want to talk to him… It scares me to go back and him unfollowing me or blocking me. It makes me feel like I’m gonna lose him forever, even though I know deep inside that just a lie.

We are just mirroring each other. That’s the truth. I can’t ask him to be honest and finally step up into who he really is without fear when I’m just doing the same. When I want to hide who I am because I’m hurt. When I can’t even be true to my word and I keep doing one thing but saying another.

I see how people have relationships just for the sake of not being alone or just having sex… We just want a temporary bandaid for our wounds. We would rather run away from ourselves, from the ones we love instead of just fighting and believing in love, in miracles, in magic…

Today I want to be very honest.

I’ve been aware of my journey for almost three years. I needed to make sense of what was going on in my life, why a break up was giving me such a hard time, why I kept crying even after months of being apart, why I kept having dreams about him, why I was unable to move on and I was actually seeing his name everywhere, why I saw him in every guy I tried to date, why my feelings for him weren’t fading away even though I was trying everything I did to get over other guys… I just needed an answer as to why my love for this guy was growing as days passed by. So I used the “lists” to try and make sense to what I was going through. I found myself ticking off almost every single one of what the things stated there. And as I was doing so, I felt terrified. I didn’t want this boy to be my twin soul. I just refused to believe so. I didn’t feel ready, I was scared. I cried countless nights, I was in denial. Then I remembered how I tried to fit the other guys into that “box”.

It took me a very long time to finally realise that he was the love of my life and the label didn’t matter because what I felt, and still feel, for him is bigger than anything I’ve ever felt before. Of course I started reading articles, I tried to see if any other person had the same story or at least said something I could relate to. My DNOS was intense and very long. I cried every day, I felt like I was going to die… But I found comfort in a couple of people I met here, on this platform. My best friend and I stopped talking for six months. It was horrible.

Every time I read about twins not getting back together in the physical, something just didn’t feel right. It didn’t make sense. I read about people who had dreams about their twins prior to meeting them but I honestly had no memories of me dreaming about him, yet I did notice how many boys like him I had met since 2007. I can say that every single boy I met for the next seven years led me to him.

The more I read and actually experienced certain things about this journey, the more I felt scared and I kept trying to just ask God for a normal relationship, just for a boyfriend that I could be happy with. Just something normal. Whenever I saw people asking, begging to find their twins, I would feel sad and would ask myself why would someone be this passionate about finding their twin? I mean, yes, we all want to find our perfect match at some point, we all wish to find that person who’s meant for us. But if I had known it was such a hard journey, I don’t think I would’ve been so eager to find mine. Like I said before, I didn’t feel ready. I was loving myself, accepting myself to the fullest and thats when we met, but I wasn’t actually looking for him. My plan was actually to stay single for a good amount of time is possible.

Anyway, this happened and in the end I accepted this boy was just my other half. I saw myself growing and becoming more aware of everything. I could actually sense him when he was in pain or having a hard time, I could even feel my best friend. I was starting to know when the energy I was feeling was mine or theirs. And my dreams became just more vivid as time went by. I can say that’s my gift. I have dreams. Vivid dreams. I see him and feel him. I see and feel other people and I’m usually right when I had dreams about them doing certain things. I had the strangest synchronicities and I knew, deep inside, they were leading me back to him and of course, leading me back to my true self.

I have never used energetic tools, never did tarot readings or pendulum readings or tried to go back to past lives or anything, hell I never even did chakra clearings or used stones. Nothing. I was relying on my intuition, my faith and the things I could sense or see in my dreams. Of course I had the help of a fellow twin who actually guided me a lot and always listened to what I had to say with patience. Still does.

But then I had my approach to other blogs and other content that claimed to be helpful and could make reunion happen faster while stating physical Union was not the goal. I saw a lot of people offering meditations, courses, readings, healing audios, etc., at insane prices. You see, I’m not against charging for your services, at all. But I think you have to be very reasonable with the prices. When people is desperate, like I was (and still am at times), they would pay a fortune to get something that will bring them closer to being with the people they love. At times I’ve been very tempted to buy certain products but I end up not doing it for one reason or another.

There’s nothing in this world I want most than to be okay, to love myself, to heal and, of course, to be with the love of my life. I know union with them in the physical is not the goal. The romantic relationship is not the goal, but it helps. If we see more and more twins coming together physically, things will change. I don’t think the universe is cruel and I don’t think it will let you have a taste of the most amazing love in this world only to take it away from you.

I don’t like using the term twin souls or flames. I’ve never liked to use labels because they make me feel caged. Also, I don’t know how many “true” twins are really out there. I knew of at least one claiming to have met their twin and six months later, this person was over their twin. But we shouldn’t judge anyone. We shouldn’t point fingers and decide wether someone’s experience is true or not. In the end, you will feel it deep inside. We are all humans, we are all trying to make sense to what we are experiencing. It is not easy and we all have our ups and downs and we should help each other not bash each other. It is not an easy journey, it’s hard… For me at least. I have no idea how to heal my fears, how to get rid of my blocks. Right now I’m at a very rough moment in my journey. My boy and I are not speaking, at all. I’ve seen him twice in my dreams since he left and none of those times he was friendly… Yet, I knew it wasn’t him, I knew it was my subconscious.

I guess, what I’m trying to really say is that you can get so much confirmation from the outside to know if someone is your twin or not. You can read every blog, you can buy all the products, have all the readings but in the end, you will know. Because this love is just out of this world… And when he and I are apart, that’s when I love him the most, that’s when I can actually feel myself loving him truly and unconditionally. It’s really easy to love someone when they’re around and when they leave, that love tends to fade away. But when they leave and you still feel that love, that’s the real deal… At least that’s how I knew this boy was different from the others. It’s been four years since we met and I still love him like I did since day one, maybe I can say I love him even more.
