The Merrell Twins: A Birthday Featurette

"Hey guys! I'm Veronica, I'm Vanessa and today we're doing the [name of challenge]!- their signature intro before every video

Kind-hearted, pretty and talented, these 3 words are not enough to describe my most favorite YouTube duo, Veronica "Roni" Merrell and Vanessa "Nessa" Merrell, also known as the "Merrell Twins".

Born to parents Paul and Wendy Merrell on August 6, 1996 in their hometown of Kansas City, Missouri, Veronica and Vanessa are 2 talented girls who had dreams of becoming stars and therefore decided to move to Los Angeles in the middle of their sophomore year of high school to pursue their dreams.

Because of not having prior experiences in acting, Roni and Nessa sadly were not landing any roles. Still motivated with pursuing their dreams, they used YouTube as a platform to showcase their talents in singing and acting by doing skits, challenges and shorts on their YouTube channel "Merrell Twins". They uploaded a few videos, left it, came back to it and upon landing their first paycheck of $100, they figured that YouTube was the platform for them.

Now at 25 years of age, Roni and Nessa have proven that there is nothing stopping them from reaching their dreams. With numerous acting credits, digital awards and just about millions of followers on social media, they are indeed 2 of the most influential people on the platform of digital media.

For this special blog entry just for their 25th birthday, I will be telling the story of how I got to discover and love them and of course, give them a special birthday message.

I first discovered the Merrell Twins on a regular day at home, quarantined because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The first video I had ever watched of them was their video "Trying Filipino Snacks". Being Filipino, this video hit home. It also sparked my curiosity at how Americans react to some of my favorite snacks growing up. My first impression of them was that they were cute and pretty, and that they were giving their honest reactions about the snacks that they were trying. I was honestly very entertained by the video that I did not realize that I was already binge-watching their videos with a smile on my face.

From that day on, I became a subscriber, patiently awaiting every Wednesday morning (for me) for a new video on their channel. And watching their video right at the hour I wake up instantly puts my day into a happy start. Their love, passion and dedication just emanates from the screen and the smiles on their faces are always showing in every video, including those with gross challenges. Subscribing and watching them also became a gateway for me to discover other YouTubers such as Collins Key and Brooklyn and Bailey among others.

I can say that I am a proud member of the Twinner family ("Twinners" is the official fandom name of the twins) since 2020. I honestly do not know what my 2020 would look like if I hadn't discovered Roni and Nessa because they are one of the reasons why my 2020 was bright instead of dark. They kept me smiling through tough times and happy when I'm sad. They also have this mantra that I really love which is "Rejection is Protection". I quietly whisper that to myself every time I'm feeling down and it lifts my spirit up. It is a good mantra to remember.

Now, for my birthday message for them:

Dearest Roni and Nessa, first of all, happy 25th birthday. I hope that you are both safe and well. I wish you both nothing but the best in everything, in your lives, in your careers, in your relationships with family, friends, pets and significant others. Thank you for lifting the spirits of every single person in the fandom. Thank you for being a source of inspiration and motivation to young girls out there. I honestly could go on and on just thanking you both for everything that you have done for me starting from the day that I have discovered you up to now. I also have you to thank for my current obsession with Star Wars, your love for that franchise is influential that you got me hooked in. All those aside, I just hope that with you both growing older, you also grow wiser and smarter. Continue being the kind-hearted and passionate gals that you are and continue to inspire and be a beacon of light to every Twinner in the fandom. I will always love and support you both and I hope that you both live long, prosperous and fulfilling lives because that is what you deserve. You girls are just 2 of the best girls in the galaxy and may the force be with you, always! From my heart in the Philippines to yours in LA, Happy Birthday and lots of love!

Woah, I could honestly write a lot more than that because I really love them so much because of more reasons than my brain could process at the moment. But that is another entry for another day.
