6 Things All Identical Twins Can Relate To

You probably know a set of identical twins, or at least have seen a pair in person before. Although twins are really the same as everyone else, they do go through some experiences that are unique to people with a mirror image of themselves!

1. Constantly getting asked the same question

Since the second you could talk, people have been asking, "are you two twins?" Umm no, just two strangers chilling, of course we are! Prepare yourself for a life time of being asked this, although you low-key enjoy the attention, and if you and your twin ever live apart you know you'll miss it!

2. You don't see It

Even though everyone else thinks you are the same person, you actually think your twin looks at least a little different from you. Whether it be different noses, voices, or face shapes, there are differences. However, you may be the only one that notices!

3. Having a mirror image

Hopefully you don't give creepy "The Shining" twin vibes tho!!

Do you ever want to know how an outfit looks on you, how a new hairstyle will turn out, or just how the rest of the world perceives you from the outside. Look no further! Your twin is the ultimate guinea pig, and you only feel slightly guilty for making them try risky trends before you.

4. Always confusing people

Whether it be teachers, strangers, or your close relatives, everyone is confused by you two! Although constantly correcting people and learning to respond to two names can be a little annoying, it also has its perks. You can play tricks, switch places in school, spread blame, and conveniently become a different person when it suits you. You also secretly sympathize with the people that confuse you, since you can not tell other twins apart either!

5. Everything's a competition

From report cards to who can run the fastest mile, everything seems to become a competition. Although you both have your strengths and weaknesses, you always feel a little edge to be just a little bit better than your twin. At the same time, your twin is also one of your biggest motivators, and together you push each other to be your best self.

6. Having a built-in best friend

From womb-mates, to room-mates, your twin has been by your side through it all. Although you may disagree and fight sometimes, you know that you always have each others back. You always refer to yourself as "we", and you can not imagine life any other way. Besides, life is always more fun when you have a clone to do it with.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
