Thank you for sharing this piece. I really appreciate your honesty and the way you explore the journey from ego-driven choices to heart-centered awareness.
I do have a question, if you don’t mind sharing more: you mentioned 15 years in a relationship that served your ego. I’d love to hear what you feel you gained or learned from that relationship itself, beyond the clarity it gave you about self-awareness.
What did those years teach you about love, connection, or even yourself?
I ask because your writing hints at a deep awareness, but I’m curious about the specific insights that came from living through that relationship and what it revealed about the human experience.
Thank you again for your openness, I really look forward to hearing more if you’re willing to share.

Thank you, M3cents,
I have written extensively about it in my book, The Gifts of Journaling, and in past articles like https://heliosy.substack.com/p/peace-forged-in-fire?r=1sn972
However, to address your interest and question, I will respond shortly.
One thing I learned is not to blame. My partner and I were both innocent souls gambling at a rigged game.
We were both insecure and unable to see the truth. The relationship was doomed to fail once one of us would see the light, and it happened to be me.
I have no ill feelings about her; she actually did more than I did to keep that relationship alive.
During that time, I couldn't connect with anyone deeply because I couldn't trust. Hard childhood years had left me with many open wounds.
Now these wounds have healed, I can trust myself and others, and I am willing to gamble this time with honesty as my weapon.
Thank you for sharing. 😉
