My brother and I are twins, born 5 years apart. I feel like we couldn’t be more similar while being entirely different.
He used to have jet black straight hair as a chubby child and could have been dropped in Mongolia without any natives questioning his locality. His facial features and naturally tanned medium skin color mixed with slightly slit dark eyes, framed by dark bushy brows, show a very strong far east genetic connection.
I, on the contrary, even tho also have straight hair, it used be so blond might as well could have been called white, when I was little. I was always on the skinny side with legs and arms for days, white skinned, with piercing blue eyes that shyly looked away from under invisible lashes and brows.
We were always good siblings. For the most. Him being my big, loving, protecting brother while I tried to cling on him like Velcro. Other times I was the typical annoying little sister throwing tantrums for no reason at all.
We both were naturally shy and reserved and making friends was never our forte. The few times in our life we had minor fallouts were all caused by people close to each of us.
While he lived overseas as a young adult I tried to fit in with my age group. Getting drunk every weekend or smoking my first cigarette in secrecy – after my ‘best friend’ trusted me to hold on to her pack while she was trying to quit – now doesn’t sound like a great way to make lifelong friends.
Even over the years while we lived thousands of miles apart we stayed connected, while not in the true sense of phone calls and such but definitely spiritually. He later told me all the crazy stories about what he had to go through to find his way.
I think we could write a book about our trials through both of our lives following a parallel timeline. What really kicked off all the ‘happenings’ was losing our father to cancer when I was a few days shy of turning 11.
Fast forward almost 40 years, where now I live overseas….
In April our mom got hospitalized from out of nowhere, our sibling bond kicked in yet again, driving us to come up with a solution for her. She has always been there for us. – I know, that’s what most moms do. – Providing the best for her is the only way, so we must cooperate in overdrive to achieve our goal.
A quick ‘tripod’ formed from out of necessity and we started working on a PC game that will blow the best ever selling game on this planet to pieces. Did I mention we are also very humble?
Of course you don’t believe me, you might even let a little tzk out but you also know that knowing if that cake is good, you must taste it!
(This is an analogy for a situation where the only way to know the final outcome is to experience it.)
So when you have a minute, just cope-paste this link below…. (WordPress doesn’t let me add a link)
We are waiting for you on the other side!
