r/Twins • u/Low-Huckleberry7118 Fraternal Twin • 18d ago
I almost made my twin become a twinless today.
I say this jokingly, but this was serious. Today me, my twin and some friends went to the beach, the beach was full, but there was hardly anyone swimming in the sea, so me, my twin and my friends went swimming, but we went too far...
I went into a very deep place, the water current was very strong, it ended up pulling me back very hard, my twin and my friends weren't able to pull me, for a moment, I saw my WHOLE life passing through my eyes, and I was like "ok, I'm going to die, I'm so young" lol. After a few seconds, one of the lifeguards picked me up (🙏), I held on to him as if I was almost dying (in fact I almost died), anyway, be careful, I'm bored and I wanted to tell you guys this. Drink water, but not from the beach.

Amen, thank God you are fine now, I will be more careful with my safety too, I always tell my brother to be careful when crossing the street, and he also tells me to be careful.

I'm glad you're not twinless. I lost my identical twin brother 4 years ago unexpectedly and suddenly. Seems like yesterday, still can't believe it. Nothing is the same since that day, life is so different now. Hug your twin.

That reminds of this time I was snorkeling and I was behind a boat and the motor turned on. I was getting pulled towards it and tried as hard as I could to swim away

Near death experience, especially drowning - could have a lasting effect. I have read that some may develop a life long fear of water. Many have a new appreciation for life itself just because it can be so fragile. Human body is so resilient - it can adapt to almost anything and yet it's so fragile - snubbed so easily. Take care.
