Yes, it is not fall anymore. I miss the colors. Florida never gets beautiful leaves. Every once and a while there are a couple trees spotted around town that have dull red and orange leaves dangling from branches. Fall colors are a rare treat for girls like us. Again this is another post about my family in North Carolina. Yeah...I'm just a tad bit obsessed. It was the perfect day for a photoshoot so I picked my sister out some cute clothes and did her makeup. I love looking through these photos and remembering how much fun it was.
Walking through warm bright shades of reds, yellows, oranges, and browns that make crunching sounds with every step is one thing I absolutely adore about fall. The sound of a creek running in the distance becomes almost unnoticeable after you have been staying in our tiny cabin on the mountain for a couple days. There are always birds chirping in the background and trees swaying in the cool wind. It makes you want to pull out your favorite plaid shirt and warm shoes. When I picture fall...I imagine Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes, bright red nails and lip stick, moccasins, smokey eyes, messy hair, cute stockings, and tons of laughter. Fall is such a short season though. The beautiful colors only last for a little while. The trees become bare. The sun isn't as warm. The sweaters get replaced with jackets. It's depressing....but only for a bit. Soon it becomes winter.
There is one person in this world who knows everything and I mean...everything about me. This human being is my other half. She is almost my clone. I am her and she is me. My twin is my everything. I love her so much. Having a twin sister is like having your best friend over every single day and having a slumber party every single night. We do our school together. We go shopping together. We stay up all night eating popcorn and watching horror movies together. She knows me inside and out. I can tell what she's thinking just by glancing at her. I know when she's mad, happy, sad, depressed, anxious, excited, bored, angry, annoyed, and even when she's lying or being truthful. She knows if I'm doing okay or if something is wrong even though she might be at the mall while I'm at home. We can sense each other's emotions through a single text or an email. I have no idea where I would be without her. Yes, we do have our arguments...But they honestly make us stronger. We know why the other person is mad and we know that no matter what we will always be together always. I plan on going to college with her, traveling with her, planning her wedding with her, and growing old with her. Our kids will be best friends and I always want to be where my twin sister is. She is absolutely gorgeous. Hannah, I love you.
What greater thing is there for two human souls that to feel that they are joined - to strengthen each other - to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories. - George Eliot
