I’m back with another original most, wow! before I jump in, I just want to make it clear that these labels should not define or confine the relationships we encounter in our lives. at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what type of soulmate someone is. these labels only exist in the 3d, they’re a way for our egos to organize and comprehend the experience. so don’t get too obsessed or freaked out over which label fits your connection! 🌟💗🌟

the main difference lies within the purpose of each connection.

our twin flame will come into our lives to be a catalyst for change and personal growth. they show up where we’re truly ready to step into our power but have been hesitating or holding back. they’re the push that forces us to uplevel our lives and become the person we’re meant to be. the twin flame connection is much more than a love connection! in some cases, our twin flame might not even be a love interest. a twin flame can be a friend, a sibling, or even a rival. 

our soulmate comes into our lives to provide us with an external source of unconditional love and divine harmony. before we meet this person we usually have to have a strong sense of internal love before we can be a vibrational match for them. they’re our perfect vibrational match! everything feels light, airy, joyful, and peaceful when we’re around them. it’s less shocking than the twin flame energy. spiritually, our soulmates serve the purpose of raising our vibration and being the person we can be most authentic around. 

how can you tell the difference? 

the soulmate meeting will likely feel easy, free, and effortless. the twin flame meeting will likely be unexpected, tumultuous, and intense. twin flames usually come into our life when we’re unprepared while soulmates come in at the ‘perfect’ time when our vibration is hight. 

your twin flame will likely be very similar to you but opposing at the same time. your soulmate will feel like they just ‘fit’. 

there’s usually something keeping twin flames ‘apart’. in reality, we are all connected and never truly separated but twin flames tend to have barriers. either distance, age, religion, or third parties interfere during the relationship. this is a way of the universe ‘testing’ the relationship to see if both souls are willing. 

your life will be completely uprooted during a twin flame connection. 

which one is better? 

- there’s a lot of stigma in the spiritual community that insinuates the idea of twin flames being more desirable than soulmates. I haaaattte this haha. both are incredibly important and valid connections! we decide, before incarnating, what we want to experience and we choose our relationships for a reason. every single connection we make is just as important than the last. not everyone is meant to have a twin flame. not everyone is meant to have a soulmate! and that’s perfectly okay! 💕💕 

I am living in japan right now and let me tell ya:

There are people here who can’t speak or understand English who play nothing but Missy elliot and ludacris, even in businesses like housing offices and restaurants.

There are people who have cowboy hats and dead cow skulls in their home because they idolize what they assume American homes are like.

There are people who learn English strictly through music videos and American television shows.

There are entire karaoke bars with english songs often sung by people who have no idea what the lyrics mean.

Japan often takes American shows like the powerpuff girls and make japanese versions of them.

They often mistake common Americans for celebrities. I have been mistaken for Micheal jordan, tiger woods, Shaquille o'neal, Tyler perry, and saddest of all: queen latifa.

The act of sprinkling English into your japanese sentences is considered cute and cool and is popular with teenagers. Bonus points if you happen to use it correctly.

Japanese stores sell shirts with english on them and people buy them not knowing that most of those word combinations are nonsense.

My Chinese relatives buy me shirts from China with English letters on them hoping I think it’s cool

I have a shirt that says “Hi Quality Uality”

I should not be hearing an unsensored ‘Magic Stick’ playing at a family restaurant.
