People often use the terms “soulmate” and “twin flame” interchangeably, but the truth of the matter is, they are completely different. A soulmate is your perfect match whereas your twin flame is characterized as your perfect mirror. There are some soulmates that come into your life, not for romance, but to help you realize your strengths and become more self-aware so that you can evolve in certain aspects of your life. Karmic lovers only care about themselves whereas soulmates care about you more than anyone else.
Twin flame lovers, on the other hand, are an amalgamation of both karmic and soulmate qualities, but with the addition of some completely new characteristics, too. It’s these additions that will benefit you because your ego and sense of self will be challenged. A twin flame is someone you share the same soul with, so everything you have spent your life running from or denying is now staring you straight in the face.
