We operate like reunion has to happen in our 20s or 30s, or it’s some kind of failure, but I’ve read from people finding their twin in their 60s and 70s, after entire marriages and families with other people. The soul doesn’t care about our human deadline anxiety the same way it doesn’t care about age gaps.
I wonder if some of those people you saw in the nursing home had a twin flame connection decades ago that they walked away from, because it didn’t look like what society told them love should look like. That thought sits with me.
