My Twinie

 Many people asked common questions about my twin brother, Matthew, and what it is like to be a twin. Simple ones are, " So do you like having a twin? ," or " Do you guys have that... ya know.. freaky twin thing where you can sense the other one's pain and stuff? " ( That one is my favorite.) But when I think it comes down to it, the best one I have heard was " Do you think you would be different without him?" When I sat and thought a long time about this question, it brought tears to my eyes. My brother is my other half, my partner in crime ( as well as justice ) and I could not live without him. He is also one of the reasons why I am who I am today.  My mind wouldn't function the way it does, because he has taught me to be open minded and look at all of life's aspects in every which way. When he writes, it inspires me to try and reach his level, and when picks up his guitar and sings I can't help but jump to my feet and join him in harmony. Our inside jokes that have built up over the years are countless and we practically talk in our own "twinie" code. Sure, we bicker back and forth and get into verbal fights, but in the end when it comes down to it he will always have my back and stand there for me. I look up to him so much for the strength he has had overcoming obstacles in his life ( none of which I could have withstanded) and coming out of them even stronger. We've grown so close together and I couldn't see life any other way without him. I could go on and on about how wonderful, spectacular, and beautiful person my brother is, but I think enough is said when I know there would be no survival for me without him.

Love you Chur
