Actually, this is true, just not in way that we expect. When we find someone who “completes us”, it is much more likely that the other person’s shit, the manifestations of their history of psychological wounding, complements ours. Of course, that always leads to a lot more shit.

I love what you wrote about our soulmate being the person with whom we feel comfortable (and safe) being our true selves. I suppose that’s true of a soul crossing person too, although, yes, they often serve to hold up the mirror so that we can learn something important about ourselves. I’ve had many such people in my life.

Ultimately it’s up to us, not anyone else, to become whole, and that can be a life’s work.

Super article. I love your insights, as usual.
