Twinhood has had a profound and lasting influence on my existence. At the dawn of our conception, we were just one egg, but soon we were split into two separate entities. Although we are physically two individual beings, each leading our own lives, the sharing of the womb before we were born has woven bonds between us of a rare, almost inconceivable intensity.

From that first moment, we are two halves of a whole, embarked on an odyssey of dual existence. Sometimes united in a harmonious symbiosis, sometimes separated by the twists and turns of life, our destinies remain inextricably intertwined, for eternity.
