Twins

Classically, this is my sister and I.  We are twins, separated by 13 years.  Just as much as I influence her, she influences me.  We can sit for hours in my room, just painting.  We can come up with the most creative ideas for outfits.
We are also very different.  Our ideas of what looks cool do not always match up.  I like to wear my hair up, while the most adornment she can tolerate is a headband--heaven forbid I try to give her a ponytail.  Our tastes in food certainly do not always match (although we both share a fondness for marzipan).
 What I find so beautiful is the ebb and flow of our creativity, imagination, and personality.  I must be very lucky to have a sister that I can share so much with.  I hope that just as she mimics my outfits, I can imitate her deep understanding and care for others, and her limitless plethora of wisdom beyond her years.
