A Thank You To My Greek Twin

It Hasn’t Always Been A Solid Relationship Between Us, But I Wouldn’t Trade Our Relationship Now For The World

A Thank You To My Greek Twin
Kathryn Belford

Dear twin,

It hasn’t always been a solid relationship between us, but I wouldn’t trade our relationship now for the world. Whether it’s the ugly selfies we send or the times we laugh until our stomach hurts, I couldn’t imagine my life without you. I’m not going to lie, the beginning was rough and there were plenty of times that we were on the verge of strangling each other. But people always say that sometimes you have to get through the bad to get the good, and that is exactly what happened with us. You really are my rock and I couldn’t imagine my life without you.

You always give selfless advice.

You might not always know what to say or I might not agree with it, but you always have my best interest in mind. No matter the situation, whether it be boys or what to wear, you give me your undivided attention and try your best to help me out. You are constantly an amazing shoulder to cry on and if words can’t fix it, you know that a night out can do the trick.

You always know how to make me laugh.

Whether it’s bringing up stories from the night before or from months ago, you can put a smile on my face no matter what is going on. We might make terrible decisions together (i.e. the dislocated shoulder) but it turns into a great story that will make us laugh until we cry the next day.

You are so similar to me.

I think this is why we used to butt heads so often. We are so similar in so many ways that we can’t help but fight. We have the same taste in many things and act the same way in certain situations that cause us to fight like real twins.

Regardless of how much fighting you and I did at the beginning of our twin-ship, I can honestly say you are like an actual twin to me. Although we are only Greek twins, you mean so much more to me than our letters. We act like sisters and fight just like them. I wouldn’t trade our amazing relationship for anything in the world.

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.
