On February 23, 2011, I feel like I was unable to say enough about twins. I cannot express how much I love being a twin. Each day when I wake up I feel extremely special that I have someone to share a bond with unlike a bond that I have been able to share with anyone else. When I need someone to talk to she is always available to give me the advice I need; and although we do not share the same exact experiences she usually helps me work it out. When I was small I always thought that it was perplexing to be a twin. I never really had anything much that was my own, not even my birthday. People always stared when we went anywhere because it was uncommon to be a twin. Our mother always bought us the same exact outfits; so when I got old enough to pick out my own they never looked anything like hers. When we went to school, all the teachers and children would get us confused, but only after we told them that we were twins. I was constantly being called her name more often than my own it seemed. Lastly, everyone would always ask us the same question over and over again: “Can you girls hear each other’s thoughts and feel each other’s pain?” The reply was always the same to this question, “No.”
However, as we grow older every day, I am finding that never being without her was the best feeling in the world. This feeling most definitely overwhelms the perplexing feeling I had when I was small. If I have a problem I know that she will understand; she does not judge me like other people have in the past. Where I would be afraid to tell somebody else something embarrassing, I can always tell her. Usually, the same experience has happened to her; or something like it around the same timeframe. I have never had any trouble making friends, but I always seem to compare them to a higher standard each time I try to make one. It seems that since we live a few cities away from each other I am always looking for another girl to fill her shoes each time she is not here with me. I also find it difficult to be alone since she has been by my side ever since we have been in the womb. I tend to get lonely when no one is around more easily than others, but I know I can always call her and she will talk to me as long as I want. I feel like many people will never experience the bond that my twin sister and I share. Not even people with siblings a year apart. I feel so special to get to experience such a bond of sisterhood that is rare. Most importantly, not only do I get to experience this rare bond, but I was born with a best friend.
