The Key We Didn’t Know We Were Holding
Love helps us discover ourselves
Love is not just a meeting of hearts—it’s a meeting of mirrors. Not the kind that reflect our surface, but the kind that reveal our depth.
We think we’re drawn to someone because of who they are. But often, we’re drawn because of what they awaken. A forgotten instinct. A buried voice. A version of ourselves we’ve never fully met.
Carl Jung believed that love is the psyche’s way of evolving. When someone stirs something deep inside us, it’s not coincidence—it’s invitation. They may reflect a trait we’ve never claimed, or activate a potential we’ve long ignored. In both cases, the love is not just about them. It’s about the self, responding to its own call.
Some people arrive and unlock a door we didn’t know was closed. They don’t complete us—they reveal us. They don’t fix us—they challenge us to grow. And sometimes, the most profound love isn’t the one that lasts, but the one that transforms.
To be loved deeply is to be seen. To love deeply is to see. And in that seeing, something shifts. We begin to recognize the contours of our own soul—its longings, its fears, its shape.
So the next time love finds you, ask not what it means about the other.
Ask what it reveals about you.
Because in the end, love is not just a bond—it’s a becoming.
