FAQs About Being A Twin
hellogiggles.com

Being a twin is something that people never quite get used to. Even in college, I have friends who are amazed and slightly terrified when they meet my twin, and there are still friends from home who can't tell us apart unless we're standing next to one another. As a twin, there are a certain set of questions I've been asked by just about everyone I've met. I've provided the answers below to ease the common curiosity.

Q: Are you telepathic?

A: No, we can't communicate with our minds. The closest we have to telepathy is walking out of our rooms with the same exact outfit on in the morning without planning it.

Q: Do you feel each other's pain?

A: Nope. One time my sister fell off her bike and not only did I not feel any sort of pain whatsoever in my body, but I just kind of stood there staring at her while she lay in the driveway. That was mainly because I'm not good in emergency situations though, not because I'm a twin.

Q: Do you ever get yourselves confused for each other?

A: You can't be serious. But we do use each other as a mirror when trying on clothes and shoes, if that counts for anything.

Q: Did you try to eat your twin in the womb?

A: Absolutely, it was a conscious effort. LOL JK, but I did eat a majority of the food in the womb causing my twin to come out underweight, so I guess that's almost the same thing.

Q: Can you guys just stop saying the same things at the same time?

A: Honestly, I wish I could. It freaks me out just as much, if not more, than it freaks you out. Trust me.

Q: Which one are you?

Q: Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I really thought you were the other one! Does it make you angry when people mix you two up?

A: I've had 19 years to get used to this. It's totally understandable and it actually makes me more pissed when people get so apologetic. Go easy on yourself, nobody's perfect.

Q: Are you guys like BFFs?

A: When you spend almost every minute of your life together, it's hard not to be. After all, we were wombmates.

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.
