When twins don't twin Mentally

Two girls were facing each other, having similar faces, eyes, and physical features. The only things different were their clothes and hairstyle and also the expression in their eyes.

One was looking calm but the other was furious and came to get answers to her questions.

What do you think you are? Do you think you can please our parents by always bowing your head?
They only love you, not me, and it's your fault.

You outshine me with your intellect because only those are intelligent who study science like you, according to our parents.

The twin reflection moves and narrows her eyes and says:

Just because they love me that doesn't mean they hate you

Yes, they do, because I am not excelling in my career in science, as they want.

But you are the Apple of their eyes, studying Biology, getting scholarships, becoming a biologist or simply a biology teacher.

You already know the condition of the job market.

I find science boring and not the need of the hour, I am more into art and writing. But they always criticize me for my choices.

They always frown on my book collection and advise me to become like you.

They criticize you because they want the best for you, after all, they are your parents, and no parent thinks ill for their kids.

But I don't wanna become a biology teacher, I want to become a writer, a free writer, and I'm determined to become one even if they don't acknowledge it.

The twin says: But the writers earn only pennies, no one likes to read books anymore, this is the generation of reels.

How are you gonna earn, no writer has become a billionaire by writing books...

I know I know Jk Rowling is an exception but we will not consider the example of the colonizer's sympathizer.

I'm not taking any opinion of someone who dare not disagree with her parents, the first girl says bluntly.

You are a Mama's girl, you're only studying it because she has asked you to.

I remember once you told her that you would not study science and you find it difficult but she didn't listen.

There is nothing wrong with that, I love it now, I study hard not for them but for my interest, the twin reflection says.

O come on, you still have a thing for art, painting, reading and...

But you're such a coward to admit it in front of our parents.

Only if you had admitted it, life would be easy for me too but you have no guts to be disliked. You wanna be a talk of our family.

Her reflection feels hurt by her merciless remarks and only says:

If you want it that bad go confront your parents. I don't have the courage. You go change your fate if you can, after all, it's the right of every individual to choose their career.

At least you can turn your dreams into reality.

Ahhh my dear: only if you could act upon your advice, never mind.

I'll take your advice, wait for me, she left her twin reflection alone and walked away...

Her twin saw her coming back, her shoulders raised and her eyes beaming, she couldn't hold her smile.

I guess you have made it?

Oh no, they mocked me and ridiculed me when I told them that I was gonna write online and make my blog.

They said: We know what your generation is doing on mobile phones.

Then why are you so happy?

On my discovery.

And what is that?

Energy

I felt energetic after getting ridiculed by my parents who don't know how the world is shifting from old school to tech.

Now it will prove to them that good things can also be done on smartphones.

I will become a content creator and write my heart's will.

They will see it one day.

She went towards the door to follow her dreams but turned for the one last time on her twin reflection in the mirror.

To forgive her for her cowardice that made her suffer in her past and to thank her for making her follow her dreams after several years.

In the vast sky of dreams, be your own light,
A universe resides in you, shining bright.
To all the little girls, strong and true,
The power is yours, in everything you do.
