Souls

One day you will meet a soul who was also searching for yours. Someone who, while walking the roads of life, also missed someone whose name or appearance they didn’t yet know, but whose soul already knew.

Because the greatest encounters have somehow already happened in life.

But the encounter alone is not enough if there is no maturity to sustain it. A good dose of internal growth is necessary on both sides for an encounter to become a journey for two. Because the encounter is only the beginning, it is the challenges of the journey that will show the purpose of a union and how far along the path two people can go together.

Because, just as there are people who only come to teach and leave, there are those who come to stay and grow together.

People connected to you will always find you along the way. In the meantime, take care of yourself, your development, your soul, your heart. Learn to enjoy your company, to value yourself, to love yourself regardless of someone else’s love. Don’t just wait and don’t make your life a waiting game. Don’t abandon yourself in someone’s hands believing that this person will take care of you. Wonderful people will find you and still the responsibility of making yourself happy is yours.

Because no one comes to complete you, people come to expand you. No one will carry you on your journey, but they can walk by your side. And if both are prepared, they will reach a common goal.

The more you take care of yourself, the more you attract people who are compatible with what you emanate and the deeper and more beautiful your encounters and the course of your journey will be.

True love is a gift

It’s easy to flirt,

easy to cheat, and easy to take what you want. 😏

But finding someone who’s truly sincere, honest, and consistent?

That’s rare. 💎

If you’re lucky enough to have that kind of love in your life,

cherish it. Don’t take it for granted. 💖

Don’t play with their heart,

don’t toy with their feelings. 💔

Because in the end, when they’re gone,

you’ll regret every moment you didn’t appreciate them.

True love is a gift,

and once it’s gone, you’ll realize just how precious it was. 🌹

Hold on to the person who chooses you every day,

who stays loyal, and who loves you with all they have. 💑

Don’t make the mistake of letting something so rare slip away.

Feeling home 🥰

“Some men will walk into your life and change everything for you, give you another reason to live. Keep them close.

They’ll challenge you in ways you never thought possible, pushing you to be stronger, braver, and more aligned with your true self. These men see the best in you, even when you can’t.

They remind you of your potential and inspire you to reach for it, giving you the courage to break through limitations you once held as truths.

When these men enter your life, they don’t just offer companionship, they bring stability. You feel safe in their presence, knowing they’ll hold you in moments of weakness without judgment. Their touch, their words, and even their silences offer healing. They don’t rush your growth, but patiently walk alongside you as you evolve, supporting you with unwavering faith.

These men don’t shy away from your complexities; they embrace every layer. They honor your story-the battles you’ve fought and the dreams you’ve yet to pursue. They don’t try to change you but rather celebrate who you are at your core, reminding you that you are enough exactly as you are. It’s through this acceptance that you begin to heal deeper parts of yourself.

They will inspire you to dream bigger and love harder. With them, love feels like a safe space to explore your vulnerabilities. You’ll find yourself opening up in ways you haven’t before, trusting that they will hold your heart with care. These men understand the power of emotional intimacy, knowing it’s the foundation for a lasting, meaningful connection.

In their presence, you’ll learn to trust again-not just in others but in yourself. They help restore your faith in love, in goodness, and in the possibility of creating a life filled with joy and connection. Their belief in you allows you to rebuild your own belief in what’s possible.

They are the kind of men who take the time to truly know you, not just your surface-level desires but the dreams you hold in the quiet corners of your heart. They are curious about what lights you up and what keeps you up at night, always striving to understand you on a deeper level.

Their love isn’t just in the grand gestures; it’s in the little things. It’s in the way they remember the details, the way they listen when you speak, the way they show up even when it’s inconvenient for them. Their consistency is their promise, a reminder that they are here for the long haul.

With these men, you’ll feel seen in a way that’s rare. You won’t have to hide parts of yourself or pretend to be someone you’re not. In fact, they’ll encourage you to bring out even more of who you truly are. Their love gives you the freedom to be authentically you.

So when such a man enters your life, cherish him. Understand that what you’ve found is rare and sacred. Keep him close, not because he completes you, but because he complements you in the most profound ways. He’s the kind of man who makes the journey of life feel a little lighter, and the love between you feel like home.”

Parasitic Narcissist

You didn’t lose the love of your life, you lost a parasite that was draining your life.

Narcissists are not soulmates; they are predators in disguise, and understanding this is crucial to your healing.

The person you see at the end of the relationship is who they really are.

Their true nature was hidden behind a facade of charm, charisma, and manipulation.

You were lured with false promises, false emotions and a convincing act.

Though underneath it all, they were feeding off your emotional energy, shattering your self-esteem, and eroding your sense of self.

What you experienced wasn’t love; it was a toxic cycle of abuse where every day felt like a battle for survival.

Their gaslighting, emotional blackmail, and their constant criticism were not signs of affection; they were tools of control and domination.

Their infidelity, deceit, and lack of empathy were not simple mistakes; they were deliberate actions to exploit your vulnerabilities.

You didn’t lose a loved one, you escaped a toxic nightmare.

You broke free from a cycle of abuse, and that takes incredible courage, strength and resilience. Narcissists are incapable of genuine love; they only imitate it to get what they want.

To heal, you must accept the truth: you weren’t loved, you were used.

You were a source of supply, a means to an end, and a pawn in your manipulative game.

Although now, you are free to rediscover yourself, embrace true love, and live a life filled with purpose, joy, and authenticity.

You deserve real love, genuine connection and healthy relationships.

You deserve to be seen, heard and understood. You deserve to be valued, respected and appreciated. Never Settling For Anything Less.

You are worthy of love, and it will find you when you least expect it 💜

Love never dies

Cruel and cold like winds on the sea

Will you ever return to me

Hear my voice sing with the tide

My love will never die

Over waves and deep in the blue

I will give up my heart for you

Ten long years I’ll wait to go by

My love will never die

Come, my love, be one with the sea

Rule with me for eternity

Drown all dreams so mercilessly

And leave their souls to me

Play the song you sang long ago

And wherever the storm may blow

You will find the key to my heart

We’ll never be apart

Wild and strong you can’t be contained

Never bound nor ever chained

Wounds you caused will never mend

And you will never end

Cruel and cold like winds on the sea

will you ever return to me

Hear my voice sing with the tide

Our love will never die…

Discernment

‘Perhaps you will fall in love with many people over the course of your life, but you cannot marry them all.

Some are personality infatuations.

Some represent real connections that could not be brought into being because the people were not ready or mature enough to participate effectively together.

In the moment, you will not know what is what.

So be careful about letting yourself become so infatuated with anyone.

Do not want and try to be in love.

That is blind and foolish.

There are many people who could excite the deeper passions of the heart with whom you could never function together.

You can be in love with someone whose values are so different from yours that you could not stand to be together beyond the initial romantic phase.

You will constantly be arguing, constantly in friction, constantly disagreeing, constantly maladapting to each other.

People fall in love and get married without any idea of what they are doing in their lives or where they are going.

They just assume if you are in love you should be married.

It is a great mistake.

You might feel spontaneous love for someone, but do not let yourself go overboard with that.

In relationship, you are choosing your primary influence.

You are assigning the person to be your chief influence, your chief advisor.

It is a practical arrangement, not just an emotional one.

Do not think if you work hard enough, if you love enough, you will make it all work.

This is foolishness.

You will have to work at relationship, certainly, to a degree.

You will have to adapt, certainly, to a degree.

You will have to relinquish some of your personal freedoms and recklessness to be in a real relationship, of course.

You will have to be attentive.

You will have to be honest.

You will have to be engaged.

But people take this to mean that they can make a relationship work with someone whom they want for themselves, and this is a cruel error.

To be swept along by impressions and infatuations, to allow yourself to be seduced by others, to be overtaken by beauty, wealth or charm is such a form of self-betrayal.

It is such a dangerous involvement.

It has such profoundly difficult and unfortunate consequences.

You have to be very careful here.

Who you associate with and how you associate with them has all the bearing for your life and for the kind of life you will have and the opportunities you will have.’

Warning : Dating or marriage to a narcissist

“Be careful who you date and marry, because the greatest prison in the world is a home without peace.

The person you decide to share your life with will have a profound effect on your happiness, well-being, and overall trajectory. It’s crucial to understand the importance of choosing a partner who contributes to your peace rather than one who drains it.

This is especially true when dealing with narcissists, who are often referred to as toxic energy vampires, who are skilled at playing games and manipulating people.

Narcissists can be incredibly charming and convincing at the beginning of a relationship. They are experts in creating the illusion of a perfect partner, often called “love bombing”.

During this phase, you will be showered with tenderness, compliments, and attention, making you feel extremely special and appreciated. This intense flattery and focus can be intoxicating, leading you to believe you’ve found someone extraordinary.

However, this is a tactic to quickly win your trust and loyalty.

Once they have gained your affection, narcissists often begin to subtly change their behavior.

They can begin to devalue you through criticism, manipulation, and control, all while retaining a facade of charm and concern.

This gradual shift can be confusing and disorienting, leaving you to question your perceptions and feelings.

Narcissists are adept at gaslighting, a manipulative tactic designed to make you doubt your own reality and become increasingly dependent on their approval and validation.

In relationships with narcissists, the ups and downs can be extreme.

They can vary between the period of affection and approval and the period of coldness and criticism.

This cycle creates a rollercoaster of emotions, keeping you off balance and focused on reclaiming their approval. These dynamics are emotionally exhausting and can lead to a significant loss of self-esteem and self-worth over time.

A home with a narcissist is often full of tension and conflict.

Narcissists thrive in control and dominance, often disregarding your needs and feelings. Their inability to empathize with others can lead to a lack of genuine connection and mutual respect. Living in such an environment can seem like a constant battle, draining your energy and disrupting your peace and happiness.

Recognizing the signs of narcissistic behavior early on in a relationship is crucial to protect your well-being.

Look for red flags such as excessive self-centeredness, lack of empathy, need for constant admiration, and tendency to manipulate and control.

Trust your instincts and prioritize your peace and happiness. Establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries is key when dealing with potential narcissists.

In short, be careful who you date and marry because the greatest prison in the world is a home without peace.

Narcissists, or poisonous energy vampires, are adept at playing games and manipulating people to secure their own needs and desires. By understanding their tactics and being cautious, you can protect yourself from entering a relationship that drains your energy and undermines your peace.

Your home should be a haven of love, respect, and peace, not a battleground for domination and control.

Choose wisely and choose your peace over everything else. ”

Trust me

It makes no sense for you to say you love someone, and then you still say that you don’t trust them.

Trust isn’t only the foundation of love in relationships; it is the pillars, the walls, and the roof of the relationship. It is the entire structure on which love is built on.

Trust is the bedrock of every solid, meaningful relationship.

Love without trust is like building a house on quicksand; It would soon collapse.

Love without trust is like trying to drive a car without fuel; You won’t go anywhere with it.

Trust transforms love from a fleeting attraction into an unbreakable emotional bond. When trust is present, love flourishes.

Claiming to love someone and at the same time saying you don’t trust them is a misguided kind of love. If there’s no trust, you’ll second-guess their every action and their every word. That kind of toxic burden will eat away at your soul, and eventually the relationship will crumble.

Do you know what is scarier than jumping out of a plane without a parachute on? It is loving someone you can’t trust. Trust allows you to be vulnerable, to lower your shield, and that is where real love thrives. Without it, you’re only playing a high-stakes game of emotional roulette.

Look, love might light the fire, but trust keeps it burning. In a world where everyone is looking out for themselves, trust is the most valuable currency. If you can’t be sure that your partner has your back through thick and thin, what’s the point of being with them? Your love will always be under siege, constantly defending itself against the demons of doubt and suspicion.

To truly experience love, one must earn and give trust. This isn’t a one-sided transaction; both parties need to invest. Trust is that unspoken agreement, the silent promise that no matter what, you’re in this together. Strip it away, and love becomes a hollow shell.

So, is trust the foundation of love? Absolutely! Can love exist without trust?

Maybe for a bit, but it is a ticking time bomb that is destined to explode.

If you’re serious about loving that person, make trust your number-one priority with them.

Without trust, love is vulnerable and weak. Build that trust, and you both stand invincible.

And in this high-octane, cutthroat, crazy world that we live in now, invincibility is the ultimate power..

Mirroring

The hardest pill I had to swallow this year was learning that no matter how good you could be to somebody, no matter how much you love them, they can and will turn their backs on you. It’s a painful truth that not everyone will value the love and loyalty you offer.

Sometimes, the ones you cherish the most are the ones who hurt you the deepest. But in this harsh lesson, I also learned that their actions are a reflection of them, not you. It’s a reminder to protect your heart and to only invest in those who truly deserve your kindness.
