If there is a question that has been asked to me as long as I have memory it is, "How does it feel to be a twin?"

Inside my heart there has been always the same answer "Being a twin is a gift you are blessed with, it is the certainty of knowing that there is one person in the world who truly understands, fulfills, gives you support and loves you. Being a twin could be described as having the magnificent chance of coming with your best everything to this experience that we call life"

Mariana and I were born 23 years ago. We have always had what I call a pretty normal twin relationship, if you understand what I mean... we could always fight between us, but if someone tried to get involved or defend one of us, surely we were going to join forces against the intruder.

We have our code; we understand each other without words ... we share the same friends ... we are similar in many things, but also we are opposites in many others.

We have had unexplainable twin situations just as happened few years ago, when we were teenagers.

I had a really important discussion with my father; I was so angry, sad and disappointed that I decided to leave my house. Mariana wasn't at home, she was hanging with some friends, and it happened that without knowing why, she started crying and she had this desperate feeling to talk with me.

So she called home, and when she asked for me, mom told her what had happened. So, she went to the place she knew she could find me and calmed me down.  And, yes she persuaded me to come back home with her!

We are best friends. I feel Mariana as the older twin is the one that protects me and is like my conscience. I have never feel this unconditional love from anybody else.

I love my twin as I know I can't love anybody else.
