We Are Identical Twins

My sister and I are identical twins.
For years we had no identity, no name.
We were the twins or the Stone Twins or one of the twins.
It was our normal.

But our friends soon realized
Although we have the same face, voice and mannerisms
We are not identical in other ways.

I hate cooking, cleaning, baking and that junk. Carolyn loves it.
Carolyn spends her days sewing, knitting and baking.
I spend my days writing, painting, and drawing cartoons.
We both do keep busy; both type A’s, that is for sure.

We cannot discuss religion or politics, because we love each other.
We cannot choose a shirt we will both wear; we tried this for six hours once.
I want glitz, jazz, eclectic, asymmetrical designs. She wears hearts and stars.
We do have an amazing silent twin laugh that scares people.
It is something I cannot describe. You have to be there,
And you will never forget it.

Carolyn is a sender. She can send a message remotely and I will receive it.
I am a receiver, but not only for Carolyn, but for other people too.
I am an empath, and am quite in tune with my telepathic side.
Carolyn does not believe in that, and thinks when I call it is a coincidence.
One time she said “What took you so long? I wanted you to call all day!”
So I guess she kind of believes in it.

We love each other, and we share the same fundamental ideals.
