To my twin brother,

You are the only person that I have literally known my whole life, even before I was born.It is still unclear whether or not this is a good or bad thing. Having you as a twin has been a blessing and sometimes it can be a little less than great.

One of the great things about having you as a twin is always having somebody to keep me from boredom. Even if all of our friends are busy, or we just feel like sitting home you're always around to hang out with and do stupid things with, whether it's when we were younger and we would play video games on our PlayStation 1 until one of us got so mad that we didn't talk for hours, or now when we sit around binge-watching "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" on Netflix.

Another perk of having you as a twin is having someone to always talk about people with and confide in. We are both so similar and dislike the same people, so it isn't hard for us to find things to talk about, whether I want to tell you about something stupid someone shared on Facebook, tell you about a secret tattoo I got and didn't tell our parents, or even just telling you something stupid I did on a Thursday or Saturday night, you are usually there to listen and enjoy in the stupidity of other people and myself.

One of the things that I could live without is how savage you can be. When we fight, it usually isn't a small fight, and every secret we have on each other could potentially come out. We could tear each other apart, physically and emotionally. But I know that we would never cross that line.

One of my favorite things about having you as a twin is our stupid inside jokes. Every time we see each other we can just look at each other and start laughing about the same thing without verbally communicating what we are thinking. Our twin telepathy is usually on point.

Overall, I want to thank you for being my friend for the past 20 years, and dealing with me through all of my weird phases. Even when we were both chunky, ugly middle schoolers, we still stuck together! Like the time I only wore tribal patterns, the time when I would only wear beanies and "hipster" clothing, and whatever phase I'm in now. Thank you for your honesty and letting me know when I'm wrong in a situation, or when we both need to hate someone. everyone knows that we are a package deal. It has been this way for the past 20 years and that won't change anytime soon. Thanks for tolerating me for this long, I hope you enjoy the next 80-something years as much as I will!

Sincerely,

Your Awesome Twin Brother
