أحببت وغداً: التعافي من العلاقات المؤذية

We always wait for someone... we think that their arrival will erase all our pains... 
We delude ourselves into thinking that their shining light on the darkness of our worlds will dispel confusion and bewilderment, and peace will envelop us... 
We deceive ourselves with our greatest deception when we whisper to ourselves in times of pain... that one day... and next to someone... we will feel complete!
But we forget that our defect is inherent... and that our نقص is fixed within us like an operating system... 
And that very person whom we saw as the savior and the path to liberation... might be the one who will give us our greatest disappointment... and gather all our gaps into one single, greater gap!
And perhaps instead of flourishing next to them... we might wither... and withdraw... and vanish... and dissolve!
We forget that we need to improve our own company and heal the damage to our souls... before awaiting the arrival of another... 
The other will never be our paradise as long as we only seek to numb our pains through them... and in reality, that relationship is nothing but an unconscious distraction from confronting ourselves and facing the truth of who we are! 
Unhealthy relationships begin here... when the relationship becomes merely an escape and a flight... and nothing more... 
And the people who make the most mistakes in choosing are those who wait eagerly and anticipate with longing... so faces become confused for them... and they project their emotional emptiness onto a fleeting face, seeing them differently from their true self... 
Those who think they are curing their thirst... by chasing mirages...!
(Until he came to it... he found nothing)!
