Have you ever just clicked with someone right away? Like you met them and immediately felt this crazy connection, as if you’d known each other forever?

Maybe it was a romantic partner who got you on a soul level from day one. Or a friend who showed up in your life at the exact right moment and changed everything.

If you’ve felt something like this before, you might have met a soulmate — or maybe even a twin flame.

But wait, aren’t soulmates and twin flames the same thing? Not exactly. As someone who’s had both kinds of connections, I want to break it down for you.

First up, soulmates. What’s the deal?

So, a soulmate is someone you have a deep soul bond with. It’s like your souls made an agreement before this life to find each other and help each other grow.

Soulmates show up to teach us stuff we need to learn and help us work through our issues.

This could be a romantic partner, but soulmates can also be friends, family, or even random people who are in your life briefly but totally rock your world.
