Ā am a Runner. I ran from the connection. It literally took me 6 months to even see that I was the one who was running. What you have to understand about the Runner is they are in absolute agony, and they are being pulled by the energy of the connection, which is absolutely maddening.I felt my own pain, but I also felt my Twin Soulās pain. It was a feeling of panic. I would wake up with it, and it was the most awful feeling. The only way I can describe it is waking up from a sound, peaceful sleep and in a matter of seconds, you feel extreme anxiety and this ungodly feeling of loss. Your heart is actually hot and it pounds; your chest is sweating. Itās the sensation of a nightmare where youāre being chased, only youāre awake. Thatās how I would wake up every morning.Combined with feeling his pain and emotions, I was also feeling this incredible pull towards him. Everything in my body was telling me that I need to be with this man. But, something was telling me inside that I was not ready. Something was telling me I needed to really look hard at myself and my issues and fix myself, so what happened with my Twin Soul would never happen again.I knew that even if he called me and told me how much he missed and loved me, I would still be a mess. There would never be a happily ever after until I did the work on myself. So I ran. And by running, I dove further into myself (if that makes sense) to fix what was broken inside me.I stopped going out with my friends and became a hermit. I worked and came home, and thatās it. I was in an emotional coma. I was dealing with the loss of my Twin Soul, the strong energies that were pulling me to him, his pain, my own pain, and to top it all off, I was going through a spiritual awakening. I was a mess. I also knew this was my time to fix all my issues. I knew I had to run and be myself to do it. I love my Twin Soul so much that I didnāt want him to have to deal with me until I had fixed myself. So I disappeared. I took myself off Facebook, and I became a ghost. I honestly didnāt even know I was running from him.In the meantime, I saw signs every day telling me that this connection to him was the real deal. I felt chased by the Universe. I kept thinking āPlease leave me alone! Iām just trying to get over him, and youāre making this really hard!ā In my head, I thought he was the one who had run out on me. Thatās how crazy these connections can make you. The energy is so strong that you feel like youāre going insane. Thatās why they call it āRunnerās Insanity.āIt wasnāt until April/May, when I had the realization that I was the one who had run, and I was the one who was still running. I saw everything clearly and I thought about our fight and the way things had played out. And I realized that I couldnāt deal with the intensity of the connection anymore, so I said āIf you want me gone, Iām gone.ā I saw it as me giving him an out because I thought thatās what he wanted, but he didnāt. He ended up taking the out because he thought I wanted it. We mirrored each otherās fears. Iām sure by forcing his hand to end it, I broke his heart. I hurt him, but I hurt myself, too, in unfathomable ways. Even as spiritually awakened as I was, I couldnāt see the forest through the trees. I couldnāt see that I was the one who had ended it. I couldnāt see that I was running.As She wrote in her article, Why is my Twin Soul Running from me?, runners leave the relationship out of fear. They are scared to death. They are frightened of the intense love they feel for their Twin Soul. They are so terrified that this feeling of love is one-sided that they high-tail it out of the relationship as fast as their sneakers can take them! ā But where does this fear come from? The fear comes from deep-seated issues that have plagued this person for not only all of this lifetime, but previous lifetimes. This is what is meant by ākarma.ā Karma is soul memory. In our past lives, we experience many things that will teach us lessons. These lessons can come in the form of losing the loves of our lives, being abandoned, betrayal by somebody we love, or even somebody killing us, and the soul never forgets. The pain of all those things resonates within us, until we do the work to clear and heal the karma and the issues, once and for all, which is exactly what Twin Soul connections do.But nothing about the process is easy. Itās incredibly painful. It truly is a blessing, but it will feel like a curse sometimes. Itās the Universeās way of fixing us. With extreme pain, comes change and transformation. During these separations, only until you have seen the darkness will you see the sun. It is something that we must accept as we move through this spiritual journey. By meeting the Twin Soul, a mirror is held up in front of the Runnerās eyes, and they can see everything that is wrong with them. All those issues of self-love, abandonment, codependency, etc., come to the surface. Suddenly, this person sees their issues, issues that theyāve avoided for possibly lifetimes, and itās terrifying, so they run, run, run. They donāt even know what theyāre running from. They just know they need to get out. And by getting out, they leave their Twin Soul behind.Many of you may blame your Runners for walking out on you, starting new relationships, and rejecting one of the most Divine unions a person can ever be blessed to have, but you have to realize that this is all part of their journey to find themselves. They cannot be with you until they do that. Some people arenāt as spiritually enlightened, so itās going to take them longer to find their way back to you. Some people will try to distract themselves any way they can (relationships, drugs, alcohol, etc.) so they donāt have to face their issues, but trust me, they donāt have a choice. They can put it off, but it will happen. You canāt fight the Universe.When I ran from my Twin Soul, I loved him more than I loved myself, because I didnāt know how to love myself, which was one of my issues. True love must come from within before you can give it to another person. You have to love yourself first, or a relationship will never work between you two. There is no way around it either: Once the energies between Twin Souls become unbalanced, you separate, and the Universe forces you to balance the energies, whether you like it or not. The only way to come back together is for each of you to work on yourself separately. Only through inner love and happiness will a reconnection take place.In the meantime, you have to accept that they are on a personal journey, and you canāt blame them or feel that theyāve abandoned you. They havenāt. It all goes deeper than it seems. What you see on the surface is a person who has left you because they donāt care about you, but if you look into the spiritual side, you will see they have left because they love you so much that they have to become stronger just so they can handle the fire storm of love and emotions they truly feel.
They have to be able to look at you aka their āMirrorā, and like what they see. Some of them arenāt ready to do that. Some of them havenāt found the love within themselves yet. And some of them have a deep soul knowing that theyāre not ready to be with you. Itās okay. Let them find themselves. And if that involves having other relationships, you must accept it is a part of their journey, as difficult as that may be.No pushing on your part will ever make them come back. They will come back when itās time. The only thing you can do is do the inner work, find peace amidst the chaos, and balance amidst the pain and pull of the connection, and love yourself. Loving yourself is the key to surviving this Divine connection. Without love in your heart, you will only experience pain. And ultimately, the pain will keep you from reconnecting. ......Love will bring you back.ā
