Hey everyone, It's our birthday today and oh my goodness I can't believe we're 20! It feels like yesterday that me and Rachel were 5 years old, running around with tights on our head - yes, we were and still are weird! At 20 years old we've been through a lot. Eating disorders, depression, anxiety and getting bullied at school so badly we had to be home-schooled. There have been times in my life where I didn't think I'd be able to carry on but I had the support of my family that kept me going, I have no idea what I'd do without them. Despite all these problems and inner demons, we have remained strong and true to ourselves. We love music, art and fashion. We are the best of friends. Being a twin is truly a gift, we've been through everything together, the good and the bad. We're both in a point in our lives where life is getting so much easier, happier and we are finally getting back on out feet again. Today I'm taking a moment to be thankful for all that I have but most importantly, the amazing people I have in my life - my family. Last night my boyfriend Matt came out with a cupcake with a two lit candles the minute it turned midnight - it touched me so much! Today I woke up to such special presents and I am SO thankful! I already know this is going to be the best day ever! I'm not bragging in the slightest, just a simple post on my 20th birthday to reflect on life!

Thank you so much Gabrielle, your words are so kind & mean so much to the both of us! I'm really excited to be in the 20's club I must admit! xxx
DeleteYou two are the best! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! YAAAAY to February birthdays! :D Really sorry to hear you two were bullied. I hate that. Always hold your chin up and move forward. The ones that try and knock you down in life, don't get very far. You'll look back and shake your head.

Yay to February birthdays! :D You're so right,I know now that bullies pick on people to feel better about themselves which is absolutely pathetic, I wish every bullied kid in school knew that they're going to become stronger from such a bad situation!
DeleteHappy birthday girls! I'm sorry you've had such a tough time so far, I remember feeling similar on my 20th but I can say from then until now things have been so much better (I'm almost 30 eek, 29 in a few months). My husband is an identical twin and I've always thought it would be amazing to have that bond.
