Many people wonder what it feels like to have a twin and often ask me about it. To be honest, I don't really know; in reality, having one is just having a brother/ sister who looks exactly like you., who has the same age as you, and celebrates the same birthday as you (well, most of the time). There was one thing that piqued my interest though; following what my sister once said, "What if [being twins] was just an illusion? What if you've been talking to yourself all along? Or looking and staring at your own reflection?" If twins were to exist that way, would they still be considered two people? Would they still have separate identities, or will they be existing as one person living with two minds? Which twin would be considered real? After all, they come from one and and the same egg.
Each day I'd think about the idea, and little by little I realize the mind-boggling mystery of why twins actually exist. Maybe, in a parallel universe, there might be people who live with one other person inside them acting as their conscience. If this were to exist though, which twin will exist and which one will be the conscience?
