What is a twin flame?

I have read about this to an extent but don't quite understand what a twin flame is.

The context is in relationships.

We all know what a soul mate is. We've heard of kindred spirits.

But what is a twin flame? And is the relationship always bad?
 
The Twin Flame basically means your Mirror Self.

This person is the other half of your soul. You love them deeply and have an intense relationship, with both really hot periods and then extremely cold spells. Fights are brutal because this person knows you so well.

They reflect your own strengths, weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

In some theories, the Twin Flame is someone you must outgrow, because you have to evolve into the New You every few decades or so.

The Twin Flame is a transformative relationship, one that changes you, completes you, hurts you, and then teaches you something when you finally end it.
 
I don't know if I believe in that literally.

But as far as defining a dysfunctional relationship that you want to get out of, and then keep falling back into the exact same situation...

Yeah I sure can relate to that!

Everyone seems to have one of those (or several) before settling down.
 
It's also interesting to note that the twin flame is not always a romantic partner.

Sometimes it can be a parent, a sibling, or just a platonic friend.

The point is you're fighting against yourself, or some old aspect of the person you used to be.

So outgrowing the Twin Flame is all about evolving into someone else and learning from our mistakes.
