Twin souls
“Seven years ago, I walked through a beautiful garden, sat down on a bench, and asked the Universe out loud to please give me a sign that the love of my life was on his way to me. Right then, something bit me on the back and when I turned around, I did not see the bug, but there was a plaque on the bench that said “I will send him to you.” Several months later, we met gazing into each other's eyes. We were both at a class our mutual friend was teaching about nonviolent communication and creating fulfilling relationships. She ended the class with a meditation circle and an eye gazing exercise with the intention of truly seeing each person in the room and also allowing yourself to be fully seen. When our eyes landed on each other, neither of us could look away. We both talk about how it felt like seeing someone you haven't seen in a long time. The connection was instant, electric, and palpable. When we met, we both already had plans to move away from our hometown of Richmond, VA. I was moving to Atlanta, GA to further pursue my acting career and Hamilton was moving to Thailand to teach English to elementary school children. We dated for a whirlwind and unforgettable two months. Afterwards, we went our separate ways and considered those two months to be a "shooting star" experience; bright, hot, brilliant and fleeting. However, it was far from over. Our magical start was only the beginning of our journey full of serendipities that continued to validate how much we were meant to be together. Our birthdays are a year and one day apart. I'm June 27th and he's June 28th. So we were able to celebrate our birthdays at the same time when he was in Thailand, since he was literally living a day ahead. I also had named my family dog Hamilton two years before ever meeting the human Hamilton. We also saw a massive shooting star at the end of our first date. The list goes on and on. 3 years after meeting, we were planning our wedding. Today we are both actors and we perform spoken word poetry together. We call ourselves @twinsoulpoets because we believe that we are twin souls (aka twin flames). We offer relationship advice and inspire people who want to meet their soulmates.”
