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.

Hi? Who is there?

"It's you?"

What?

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

What's this some kind 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 don't have much time here because I need to run but I would like to talk with you really quick. Well, to be honest, I just wanted to show up and surprise you. You know, start a fun relationship here? "

Who...who are you?

"I am you... I believe that I told you this already. "

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

"It is my friend. It is. I'm you."

...

"Alright I am going to explain. I am you behind all of those fears, worries and doubts. I am the version of you...just the better version of you...the one that runs quicker than you currently on the treadmill, lifts harder, focuses more, and reads more than the...you...right now. I mean fundamentally I am awesome. 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 show up and take a second to remind you of what you are working hard at. I can not actually make it clear when you'll show up again, but hey...I think I might make a fun habit of seeing this dumb look on your face. Anyhow, I really wanted to show you the true you...the one that is not afraid of making calls and standing by them no matter what. That blog you started, well you are not meant to really know this at the moment, but it is crushing. Oh and 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 even mean it. "

So...

"Got to go! Things to do. Places to be. Good luck!."

::door opens and then slams shut::

::sits down on couch...::

Woah.
