Being a twin is like being born with a best friend.
Tricia Marrapodi
You might have done it your way but regrets some regrets are part of life.
Regardless of what some braggarts are saying everybody has some, sometimes deeply buried in your psyche.
One of mine is the absence of an identical twin brother.
It takes a long time to become BFF with somebody. Can you imagine the fantastic luck of being born with one?
Can you imagine sharing your life with somebody who, regardless of the odds, will always unconditionally be on your side?
Somebody who will scratch your back the minute you feel an itch?
Somebody who will anticipate and fulfill your wishes without ever having to ask?
Somebody who would finish a sentence for you?
Somebody who would never forget your birthday?
Yes, I do miss having a twin brother.
I have had girlfriends, some decent, some so and so, but girlfriends are a light year behind when compared with a twin.
A girlfriend will quarrel with you, betray you, leave you (or vice-versa)… things that are absolutely unimaginable coming from a twin.
For whatever reasons, brothers and sisters are commonly at odds. Twins never.
It might have something to do with spending 9 months together squeezed in very tight quarters. To succeed, you must to cooperate.
A twin is a product made of kryptonite, guaranteed for life and backed by an ironclad policy. It is totally devoid of fine print.
Bonds between a brother or a sister are not made of the same material. Their ties are brittle and they are not rustproof. With time they might fail.
So again, having a twin is a fabulous blessing worth its weight in gold.
And yes, I am jealous and envious. I am wondering if even late in life I could acquire a twin because (as Lord Byron said) “to know true happiness you must share it.”
So just be aware that I am in the market for a functional identical twin. If you come across one (even used) I am extremely interested.
Waiting impatiently to hear from you.
