Twin Sisters

Yesterday I ran into a twin sister who had just celebrated their 86 birthday. They were dressed alike. Both were wearing navy blue pants, white shirt and red scarves. Their blond hair were meticulously styled. One of the sister appeared to have more disappointment in her life as she had more wrinkles around her mouth and the sides of her lips were shaped downwards.

They reminded me of my sister and I. One day if we are lucky enough to live that long, we also will loss all of our youth and beauty and will have wrinkles all over our face.

I probably will be the one with more wrinkles because I have had many heartbreaks in my life. But despite that I take it easy and I have been desensitized to disappointments now. I believe that anything is possible and nothing, absolutely nothing, surprises me any more. So maybe my sister would have more wrinkles as she stress about every little thing in life.

What would be one advise that you guys can give me? I asked the twins.

The one who seemed more disappointed in life said, “ Don’t take life so seriously.”
Enjoy. It is over before you know it. Said the other twin.
