You Open The Door And It Happens To Be You

By Evan Sanders


One night right before I was going to bed, I heard a knock.

Hello? Who is there?

"It's you?"

What?

"It's you... kindly open the door it's cold out here."

Is this some type of joke?!

"Answer the damn door. "

::door opens::

"Whatsup dude? Long time no see. I like the place! Tiny but I am keen on it. "

Make yourself comfortable.

"Look I haven't got much time here because I should run but I wanted to chat to you very fast. Well, to be completely honest, I just wanted to suddenly show up and surprise you. You know, start a fun relationship here? "

Who...who are you?

"I'm you... I know I told you this already. "

This is not real. This absolutely can't be real.

"It is my friend. It is. I am you."

...

"Alright I will explain. I am you behind all the fears, worries and doubts. I am the version of you...just the better version of you...the one that runs a bit faster than you currently on the treadmill, lifts harder, focuses more, and reads more than the...you...right now. I mean basically I'm incredible. I am the you...you've always wanted to be. "

So you mean to tell me...you are me...but like version 2.0?

"Lets not kid ourselves here, this has got to be like version 6.0. I mean look at you. "

I see...

"I just wanted to turn up and remind you about what you are working hard at. I cannot really make it clear when this version of you will show up again, but hey...I think I might make a bit of a habit of seeing this dumb look on your face. Anyways, I wanted to show you the true you...the one that is not fearful of making choices and standing by them regardless. That motivational blog you started, well you aren't really meant to really hear about this at the moment, but it is crushing. Oh and really do not stress about girls, just keep your head down for a while and everything will work itself out. Oh...last thing, don't take the bad things people say personally. Much of the time they don't really even mean it. "

So...

"Got to go! Things worth doing. Places to be. Good luck!."

::door opens and then slams shut::

::sits down on couch...::

Woah.
