Three years ago, I started a new job, and like everyone else, I was just trying to find my way. Little did I know that amidst the mundane routines and office chatter, I'd end up on an emotional rollercoaster. There was this colleague of mine, let's call him my Twin Flame (TF). At first, our interactions were simple – just two people working in the same place. He wasn’t someone I noticed initially in "that" way, but somehow we connected emotionally.
We spent hours talking about life, dreams, and everything in between. Five months flew by like this. In those conversations, something profound happened—a deep emotional bond formed. We both admitted that our marriages weren't where we wanted them to be. It wasn’t that we were chasing some whirlwind romance or trying to disrupt our lives; it just felt like finding a missing piece in each other. But keeping things unphysical didn't make the connection any less intense.
Then came the heart-wrenching part. About a year ago, out of nowhere, he went radio silent. Vanished! No texts, no chats at work—nothing. The reason? Guilt gnawed at him for developing feelings he felt he shouldn’t have had outside his marriage. The silence left a gaping hole in me; it hurt more than I thought possible.
Fast forward to now, and life's thrown another curveball my way. I'm leaving this job soon. A farewell gathering brought us back into each other's orbit even if for such a short time. When we saw each other again after all that time apart, every feeling rushed back: happiness mixed with a twinge of sorrow knowing it was temporary yet again.
Having shared those moments during the farewell reminded me how much unresolved emotion is still wrapped up in all this for me—how saying goodbye feels like tearing away from something rare and precious.
It feels unbearable today knowing we're about to lose whatever chance remained because why does it have to be this difficult? Heartbreak is one thing I'm familiar with - who isn’t by adulthood - yet somehow goodbyes hit harder when what you're letting go seems intertwined with your soul itself.
So here’s where I find myself reaching out right now—looking for support from anyone reading these words who gets what tangled emotions do inside us humans...groping through love’s echoes long after they cease vibrating around you physically; turning lessons meant as whispers loud enough finally maybe to catch any moral teachings hiding there beneath jumbled hearts battered stories similar yours too possibly?
I'd really appreciate hearing how others have coped through farewells like mine before—and what wiser truths surfaced afterwards if any beyond surviving altered landscapes themselves (and sincerely hoping clearer sight lines exist beyond!).
