You Open The Door And It Happens To Be You

By Evan Sanders


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

Hello? Who is there?

"It's you?"

What?

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

What's this some sort of joke?!

"Answer the damn door. "

::door opens::

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

Make yourself at...home.

"Look I really don't have much time here because I have to run but I need to chat to you very fast. Well, to be completely honest, I just wanted to 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 really can't be real.

"It's my friend. It is. I am really you."

...

"Alright I will explain. I am the version of you behind all of those fears, procrastination, and doubts. I am the version of you...just the better version of you...the one that runs quicker than you now on the treadmill, lifts harder, focuses more, and reads more than the...you...right now. I mean basically I am absolutely incredible. I am the you...you've always deeply wanted to be. "

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

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

I see...

"I just wanted to make an appearance and show up and remind you about what you are aiming at. I cannot really let you know when you'll show up again, but hey...I think I'd make a habit of seeing this dumb look on your face. Anyhow, I wanted to show you the true you...the one that isn't fearful of making calls and standing by them irrespective of everything else. That motivational blog you started, well you are not really meant to actually letting you know this now, but it is absolutely crushing it. Oh and really do not fret about girls, just keep your head down for a bit and everything will work itself out. Oh...last thing, don't take the bad things people say personally. A great deal of the time they do not 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.
