A Letter To My Twin Brother

Having a twin can be great, and it can be a pain, but at the end of the day you're still stuck with them!

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

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.
