Growing Up With A Twin Research Paper

Decent Essays
Growing up with a twin is like not growing up at all, for me being with my best friend even before birth has been the greatest birthday gift there could ever be. Being near such an amazing person throughout my whole life has given me precious memories that I keep and remember every day. One of the most important things I have always kept in my heart is memories, because even though you are growing up on the outside your heart can remain the same as long as you don’t forget.

I believe life is not a competition with others, is a competition with ourselves. There may be someone better, someone more experienced. But every day I can be a better me than before, until I am satisfied and I am truly convinced I´m the best I can be. While I was growing up I was always associated with my twin sister. But I wanted to be individual, my own self and that’s when I started looking for something that made me different, not only from my sister but from everyone around me. I realized that my whole life I´ve had desperation to create, whether it would be painting, baking, crafts, jewelry, stories or poems.

    Summer Twins Review: A Dreamy Dance Party Kicking off Valentine’s Day weekend with great music is not a bad way to dive into the holiday, for couples and singles alike. This last Friday, February 12, Summer Twins performed at Acerogami, Pomona, CA, joined by Veronica Bianqui. The entire event had a drinks-with-friends vibe, framed by the venue’s exposed brick, low lighting, projected music videos, and a few heart-shaped balloons at the stage. The beauty of smaller venues is the level of comfort they create. Conversation before and after the show flowed easily, from excitement about the performers to stray cats and operatic voicemails.…

    It would be fun to be a twin. I think this because you would have a perfect friend to play with. They would be the exact age as you. They could like the same things as you because they could get the same personalities from your parents. Twins could entertain each other because if there is only one child, the child would probably get bored, but since there is two, they could play together and not get lonely.…

    Twins often marry to another twin and create a very interesting familial situation; however if one married a non-twin, that spouse will most likely have a similarity with the spouse of the other co-twin. When twins get older, they become more susceptible to relationships outside their inner twin zone, romantics relationships. Sophie Cassell acknowledges that because twins share a very intimate relationship they will almost always want to find, “somebody else in their lives to fill the role that their twin filled, essentially ‘completing’ them by comprising the other half of their identity,” otherwise known as twin yearning (Cassell 6). In addition, a study on male twins has shown that, “many of the men ‘reported a mutual problem of establishing…

Apparently, it was a rough battle from birth until the time we turned two, but somehow we both fought through our struggles together.…
