Being a twin can be awesome. You’ve got a life-long friend, who’s always got your back. At least, that’s how it is for me and Sky. We just understand each other better than anyone else. We’re best friends, and we always watch out for the other. Generally, it’s great. But sometimes, it’s really not. I am not viewed as my own person. Apparently, we share so many things, including an identity. And this is really frustrating. I am not just Sky’s other half. I’m me as well. Although we have the same birthday, same parents, we’re not the same person. People get reputations at my school. You can be known for being good at a specific sport, or for liking a certain thing. All I am known as, is the twin. I am just Sky’s other half. We both have no interests, no differences. We are just the same person. Stuck in each other’s shadows. And I’m sick and fed up of this. I know Sky feels the same way. Yes, I am Sky’s twin, and she’s mine. But that doesn’t mean we’re the same person. I deserve to be recognised for who I am.
