Our View of Everyone Is a Projection

Our perception of everyone, even our intimate partner, is a vision of them we’ve created in our minds. A characteristic we find bothersome may be charming to another. Which partners we choose are related to the wounds we need to heal. That’s why after the initial honeymoon period, the very things that attracted us in the first place can become triggers that create difficulty and require work. Once we’re conscious enough to understand that our judgments are projections, we can use them as breadcrumbs that show us what we need…

To heal.
