X2

As a twin there was a natural reverberation of sorts, reactions and actions X2 with constant nearby echos. Growing up a twin absolutely included life experiences in tandem like sports, games, education, religious rites of passage, even a duplicate consensus on political ideology. Our sense of right and wrong was usually in sync although twin sister was often the risk taker, daring and outspoken. 

We shared common ground on many levels in the formative years then became more out of sync about things as we developed our own individuality and sense of autonomy. In the teenage years the subtle separation from experiencing life X2 as twins and each other's shadow, back-up, wingman fading away on many levels was quite the trip, some contempt as misunderstandings, personality changes and miscommunication evoked resentment and anger. It may have been subconscious anxiety as we loosened the twin-ties even though we were eager to explore the world individually. It was scary, exciting, uncertain and we had to learn how to go about life without a sidekick nearby so dear yet annoying, smart, funny, inspiring and loved.
