We’ve been dreaming and speaking of honoring our special history and experience of being twins for a long time now. I’ll take the annual remembrance...
Check-list for moving on
1. You are an absolutely wonderful human. If you don’t think you are, then you can make changes so that you will be the absolutely wonderful human that I KNOW you can be.
2.You probably will never understand humans (including yourself).
