Individual

paulhuish

Just because I shared a womb doesn't mean I'm not an individual too. A life of being judged as half a person is tough. We are all more similar than we will ever know, whether we were born together or are just one of one.

No I didn't share girlfriends with him, we don't compare swords and what's it like being a twin? Unsurprisingly it's not tangible. It's the same as me asking what's it like not being a twin. I'm an individual, as is my brother and would like to be defined as Paul the person, not Paul the twin. 

So next time you meet a twin think twice about the questions you ask, because you may be surprised at the answer. Yes I am a twin but I'm just as individual as you.

    Strangely in my long life I cannot remember meeting twins but if I did I would hope that I would treat them as individuals as I do all people.

    It would never dawn on me that it could be any other way! If there is something "different" about twins that surely must be just between themselves!
