11 Things Fraternal Twins Want You To Know

"Twins have a special bond. They feel safer with each other than with their peers." -Jeanne Phillips

Being a twin is one of the best things ever, but being a fraternal twin is even more incredible. You automatically come into the world with this best friend that you have already grown with and know so much about, but you are so different. Not everything is a competition; you are two separate people who have always been together. The bond is indescribable.

1. Yes, we really are twins; no, we are not lying to you.

No, this is not a joke. No, we don’t look alike; no, we don’t act alike. Our hair's a little different, our eye color is a little different, our height is different. We are twins, promise.

2. Yes, like real twins, like born at the same time and everything.

Again, not lying. We can even show you a birth certificate if you’d like.

3. No, twin telepathy is not a real thing, but we are close.

Hmmm… twin telepathy. Nope. Even twins cannot read each other’s minds, but we do have a special bond. We do not know life without each other, and we cannot even imagine life without each other.

4. Just because we don’t look alike doesn’t mean we don’t still have the bond identical twins have.

Identical twins seem to be inseparable, and so are fraternal twins. Twins are all the same; none of us knows life without the other one.

5. No, we do not dress alike, and do not plan on it.

It was cute until we turned 6… then it became really obnoxious.

6. Heck no, I do not want to have twins. I have seen how much work it takes to take care of two babies. Nope, one at a time is enough.

Twins are tough; double trouble is a very true statement. Twins are very cool, but unfortunately too often twins do not get their own identity, which is sad. But no, I would love to have twins. It's tough, but twins have a bond no one else could ever explain.

7. Yes, we think alike sometimes, and we do share personality traits, too. Not all twins are the same.

Once again, too often twins are known as one. A twin is a different person, with their own brain, desires, needs… be sure to treat them like it.

8. Yes, it matters who is older.

Yes, I am older, and yes, that one minute counts. I am the older sibling, and she is younger. Yes, I take advantage of that all the time -- definitely the most important 60 seconds ever.

9. We will never admit that we love being twins.

Yes, we both love it. It is so much cooler than just having a sister, or brother. You have someone that you literally entered the world with. They were the first person you ever knew, and you grew together before life on earth even began. How cool is that? No, we will not ever admit that to you.

10. No, we do not do everything together.

My twin and I are very different. She is extremely introverted, while I am extremely extroverted. She would rather sit on the couch and watch TV, while I would rather be out hanging out with friends. Even though our personalities are different, we still end up always coming back to each other at the end of the day.

11. Yes, she is my best friend.

Another thing we probably will not admit to you, just because.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
