Since I was a young girl, I always felt like there was a part of me missing. I think it’s because ever since I was old enough to understand who I am, I’ve noticed I have two personalities. Now that I’m older I’ve put a lot of thought into this and have come to the conclusion that I probably ate my twin in the womb.
I say probably because my mom doesn’t want to tell me the truth. In our family history having twins is common, from both my mom’s and dad’s side of the family. Since my parents conceived five children, you can’t ignore the fact that they possibly had twins. I remember playing at recess with my friends, and there were these mean girls who always picked on other girls. One minute I would be with my friends having a good time, and playing nicely. The next minute I would turn into one of those mean girls. I didn’t think anything of until it started happening more frequently. I’ve always seen myself as a shy nice person and not really wanting to be in the spotlight. But like a switch, I’ll be talking loud, being bossy, and trying to do something crazy.
At first I was like “okay Donna you’re just crazy and you’re getting ahead of yourself”. But now, I truly believe that I have a second identity in me and I’ve accepted it. I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, but I want to say that she’s a girl. I named her Maribella. When I think about Maribella I see her as a wild, crazy, and fun person.
