My story is probably a bit unorthodox. I had heard of twin flames through the experience of others. Hadn’t really thought much of it… didn’t see it as much more than the idea of soulmates. Nice in a Hollywood movie, probably not a real thing.
I think most people go through it and then go searching for the meaning. I don’t know if it was just a chance or the universe laying it out for me, but I’d come across it.
I mentioned a bit of my story in another thread:
I had been in another country for a year or so. Mostly casually dating through apps while I was there. When I met my twin, she was actually perfect for me. Her photos and bio matched my (pretty obscure) combination, and it seemed like kismet.
Which is why I almost didn’t send a message.
I’d gone through a karmic relationship about 18 months before that had started that way and to top that off I had one foot out of the door. I was about to leave the country.
To keep things short, she messaged me, and we went on that first date. We spent the next three days together and… pretty much every day after that. I don’t even know how to express it in words, how different this was from anything I have ever experienced before.
Life had given us both a kicking. We had worked with it. I’m not sure if either of us could explain why. I think in a lot of ways we were lucky to have done that kind of work without knowing what we were missing in the other person.
Maybe knowing they were out there for us would have made it easier. I really don’t know.
For almost two years now, I wake up every morning to see her face. I have never tired of looking at it. I have never been so thankful to have something this important to me. It pushes me to want to do better, be better and honestly makes me thankful just to be able to draw breath.
This is probably a lot of rambling but I can’t talk about her in a way that anyone else could begin to understand.
