TWIN FLAMES : THE DISCONNECTION

TWIN FLAMES: THE TRILOGY (Part two: THE DISCONNECTION) continues where TWIN FLAMES: THE TRILOGY (Part One: ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MY BED IS THE SAFEST HIGH) concludes.

Within creating this trilogy, the dynamic between two people is examined: whether they are platonic or romantic. Discover views on how to love someone within the pathways of reflection by defining the moment twin flames connect. Twin flames can be friends who transform into lovers.

They are reflections of each other. At times, they can be the closest ever, then the next second, colder than cold. If this is who we are, our twin flames represent this.
