Some animals arrive with chaos. Others arrive with softness.
But none of them arrive by accident.
This Substack dives into the deeper reason your animal found you.

I was always intrigued by the relationship people share with their companion animals. The similarities in personalities between animal and human can result in a harmonious relationship of symbiosis and intertwining of two beings, where they almost move as one entity. Conversely, the the similarities in traits and personality can also create a relationship fraught with frustrations, shared fears and amplified emotions, where both animal and human always seem to be working against each other. My intrigue has always been in trying to understand the dynamics at play and understanding how we can use this understanding to heal both reflections of the emotional mirror.
