Self Love & Your Twin Flame
By Storm Maverick
What if I was to tell you that you are supposed to be whole, with or without, your twin flame? I’ve been on a twin flame journey for 9 years. Met my twin flame in 2016, ran, came back in December of 2019 and all the way up till January of 2026 having a harmonious union. Even though I have a harmonious union, if she decides to walk away, I will still be complete because I don’t rely on her to make me whole. I rely on myself to make myself whole. That’s why it’s important to practice self love. Not just any self love, but radical self love. In this ebook I will help you understand how to do just that.
When I met my twin flame in 2016, I was struggling with myself after having a karmic relationship. My manager at work at Cabela’s named Jennifer Riley in 2015 was following me around the store and calling me baby. She would even grab her chest when I was next to her. She had the hots for me, but she was still my manager. I decided to leave the job because of her, but when I left, I reached out to ask if she wanted to hangout since she was no longer my manager. Instead of leaving it with one message. I emailed her often, but with no reply. I didn’t love myself enough to walk away from a manager that was sexually harassing me. To get me back from leaving the job and not being under her control and reaching out, in the database was my step mom’s phone number. Whatever she said to my step mom caused my step mom to send me to a mental hospital for chasing. That totally made me feel bad about myself. I thought to myself that no woman would love me. In hindsight, Jennifer Riley was a narcissist and my step mom is stupid, but the damage had been done where I had no self love for myself after that.
A year later in 2016 when I met my twin flame Pinkbow, we were on the same wavelength and hitting it off great, but I was still scared from my karmic relationship. Pinkbow would hit me up and I decided to ghost her. When somehow we were at the same place at the same time, she was angry. I thought I was dealing with another Jennifer Riley. I walked to the opposite side of the bar and started crying. She walked up to me to offer me friendship, but I declined and left immediately. She texted me when I got home, but I ghosted her again. This is when I became the runner.
3 years later, in December of 2019, I had this big urge to go to a bar. I went there and behold, Pinkbow was there. We talked for two and a half hours and enjoyed each other's company. The next day I messaged her, but she was reluctant at first, but we started talking. This began the twin flame journey after a long seperation. Within December 2019 to January of 2026 we went through all the stages of the twin flame journey. She showed me unconditional love when I returned, and I was giving her unconditional love too in return, but I wasn’t loving myself greatly because of what my step mom and Jennifer Riley did to me.
Within these 6 years Pinkbow and I have texted each other for over 1,200 days and never get tired of each other. We’ve been to bars, clubs, bowling, the lake, the park, her house, other people’s homes and restaurants. I even spent the night at her house a few nights even though it was platonic. We were the bestest friends anyone can possibly be and we got along 99% of the time. It was a true harmonious reunion even though there were some minor separations in the process. The longest we separated after my return was only one month. Yes, your twin flame can be your best friend by the way. Not every twin flame has to be romantic in the 3D. It can be platonic because 3D labels don’t matter. It’s the connection that matters.
Pinkbow taught me radical self love. She taught me self love beyond measure. The problem at one point is that I was clinging on to her because I realized she completed me. This was a slope I needed to get out of, so I started going to an Orthodox Church in 2023 and still go to this pleasant day. I made a lot of new acquaintances that I would see once a week and never really talk to during the week, but I was happy not to have Pinkbow as the center in my world even when we were getting along greatly.
One day it clicked for me. What was I searching for? I looked up stuff about twin flames on YouTube to educate myself, and then it clicked. It’s not the outside circumstances that can make me happy because it’s an inner job. This is why people that are alone aren’t lonely. When you can spend all day alone and find that inner peace and don’t feel the need to socialize, you are essentially saying to God and the universe that you are complete no matter who you talked to during the day. You enjoy your company to the fullest and enjoy yourself. This breaks you free from clinging to your twin flame out of desperation or anyone else.
Contentment is not from getting what you want, it’s from having inner peace no matter what you have or don’t have. The last couple of months from December 2025 till now I realized that the greatest company I can have is just myself. It doesn’t mean I don’t talk to people or my twin flame, it just means my contentment comes from me. I choose to be happy. I also found an interesting video on YouTube about no one is special. It taught me to love everyone and that even my twin flame isn’t special, but I love her unconditionally. Since no one is special, you can take your twin flame off the pedestal and see her, or him, for what they are. Just seeing her as another human being. Forget the New Age nonsense on twin flames. See your twin flame as another human being like the rest of us and know that none of us are special. This will get you the ability to not feel bad feelings no matter what your twin flame does. Let your twin flame do what they want and at the same time you can keep your peace.
The only person I need in my life to validate me is myself. I don’t need even my twin flame’s approval or anyone else's for that matter. I hope this ebook was encouraging for you to look within and give yourself radical self love. Remember no one is special and you don’t need the consumer world to hold your hand. Be free of caring what society thinks. Self love is about not caring if you’re right or wrong, but loving yourself to the fullest because it’s your truth.
