To allow you to find your anam cara, you have to first have that openness and trust with yourself. Spend time with yourself, and begin to cherish your own company. Once you have a friendship with yourself, you open the door to discover your anam cara.
For the past few months I have been going through massive changes in my life. It has been a challenge, and there were times when I wondered if I would survive. But the times that can make or break you are the times where your true self comes out. I began to enjoy spending time by myself. I got back to doing the things I enjoyed, things that I had put on the back burner because my time/energy/money was needed elsewhere. Lo and behold, I discovered I actually LIKE myself.
Maybe someday I will find my own anam cara... only time will tell.
