If you’re one of the few that get the chance to meet your twin flame, this person will be a mirror of your personality traits, whether they’re positive or negative.
In this type of relationship, couples will find it difficult to function when they’re apart from each other.
A twin flame dynamic can be extremely challenging as it will push you to become the best version of yourself.
Unlike a soulmate, you’ll only ever have one time flame in your lifetime. Although it’s an extraordinary experience to meets your twin flame, it can be a very unhealthy relationship, and may not be a perfect match.
A soulmate, however, is a person who will be suited for you as a life long partner, or friend.
