Being a twin

I thought I would write a little bit about being a twin. One of the first questions most people ask us when they find out we are twins is what is it like to be a twin and our response has always been the same: we were never not twins. It is just part of our life, we are so used to it we don't even understand what they mean by that question.
      We are best friends and always have been. We never used to think about each other as friends let alone best friends. At some point it occurred to me that we really were friends and I don't know why it took me so long to realize.
     We have so many inside jokes that I can't even imagine counting them. Sometimes at dinner when somebody says something, we just look at each other and burst out laughing, confusing everybody else which just makes us laugh more. 
I sometimes cry just because she is upset and crying. We tell each other everything. We finish each others sentences. We know exactly how to push one another's buttons. We fight! Yes you read that right, we fight a lot. But we can never stay mad at each other for more than 1/2 an hour. Sometimes when I am mad at her I try not to talk to here and I always fail within 5 minutes.

But one of the most important things about us as twins is we are different from each other. I am more outgoing and love hangingout with tons of people, she would rather spend one on one time. She understands and fixes things I don't even know exist. We have different ambitions, she wants to go into engineering and I want to be a nurse midwife. We absolutely do not want to go to the same college. Because of our differences we work well together, we are a team, and we are always there to support one another.
Love You Sus!
