I’m marrying my twin flame in a few months. Sometimes I still can’t believe this is my life. I don’t often share details of my life, but since we are, I can share a few details of mine.
Our love story has been unfolding for about fifteen years now. That’s a long time since I’ve seen people post about knowing their twin for a few weeks.
We started as two kids who lit up whenever we saw each other at university. Both too young and scared to act on it. Then came the long silence, living completely separate lives, thinking maybe that chapter was closed forever.
I always kind of had them on my mind. There was a night I was smoking with a few friends, and we got onto the topic of “the one that got away. My mind immediately went to him.
But Spirit had other ideas. During those years apart, we somehow ended up at the same company for a short-term contract. Neither of us knew the other was there until we literally ran into each other in the hallway on the last day. We exchanged numbers, but the timing still wasn’t right.
We were both seeing other people, and I don’t know how much I believe platonic twin flames would work. If I were being honest with myself, I knew I would always be wondering if we could be more. So, we drifted apart again.
Then, a couple of years later, we were seated at the same table at a mutual friend’s wedding. A friend we didn’t even realize we had in common.
For privacy reasons, I’ll skip some of the details of us getting back together and the subsequent two separations we went through, but (after a lot of work on both sides) we finally stopped fighting the pull and reconnected properly a few years ago, and everything just clicked into place.
I hate that cliche, but it is just too accurate.
More than a decade of soul growth and all these “coincidences” led us right here. Now we’re planning our wedding and building something beautiful together. I’ve never felt more at peace or more certain of anything.
The best bit of advice I could give others is to trust the journey, even when it makes no sense.
