Imaginative Kayleigh and realistic Luke are Fraternal twins (Read more on what that means :Duplicate DNA)We've asked them to share their TwinningIt stories, we hope you'll have just as much fun reading it as we did!
On the day Angela Kennedy swam world record breaking 50 m butterfly stroke, Luke and Kayleigh were born. Luke is older by 2 minutes and if your a twin you know those 120 seconds make all the difference, although when they were younger Kayleigh admits to always acting like the older sister and having Luke be the younger brother (memory flashback of us too). This month they have celebrated their 21st birthday with a trip to Turkey; a lovely gift from their parents.
As most twins have experienced; they have had some funny questions asked to them. One included "Are you both psychic?" and our favorite being "If Luke breaks his arm, your arm will break too right?". Curious questions like these are what causes silent giggles to bubble up in twins says TwinningIt.
Twins often have similar likes and dislikes just like Luke and Kayleigh, they enjoy the same music, movies and foods, even thinking alike and sharing the same opinions about things. Amazingly enough they have sharp contrasts too; Luke loves being active while Kayleigh enjoys being creative. Yet they both admit to being fussy, Luke being more so.
Here at TwinningIt we believe in family. Luke and Kayleigh's tight family connection touched our hearts. TwinningIt loved to hear that their family wants to see them succeed in life and their do the best to help them, Their parents have played such an important role in supporting, loving and understanding them through their struggles and happy times.
Kayleigh spoke about feeling insecure at times because Luke had a lot of friends during school - she had 1 friend, he played in the
first team and was a prefect. This led her to feel she was the shy twin that couldn't do much. Since being out of school
she has grown in confidence. She further states "Luke motivates me all the time and tries to be honest
with me about things. He gives me advice on what to do and is always there for
me. I have made way more friends now, and I meet new and wonderful people every
day. It never really affected Luke that much, he was more concerned about which
soccer team was playing next!"The greatest accomplishment they have made is motivating each other every day by living a healthy, active lifestyle; they have both changed physically and mentally admitting it takes allot for people to push themselves. Luke motivates others by encouraging a healthy and fit lifestyle with products such as Herbalife.
Even with a tight bond we know that there are still boundaries; we asked them to complete the sentence: "Don't touch my..."
L: My food
K:My clothes
They left us with these final words:
"A bond like this is something that cannot be explained. We look in the mirror and we see not only our own image reflecting back, but our twins image too. We constantly think and worry about our twin. One piece of advice would be - Always spend every day and every second with one another, life is too short, and this bond is too great of a thing to waste."
