You Open The Door... And It's 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... answer the door it's cold out here."

What is this some sort of joke?!

"Answer the damn door. "

::door opens::

"Whatsup dude? Long time no see. I admire the place! Tiny but I'm keen on it. "

Make yourself comfortable.

"Look I really don't have much time here because I should run but I would like to talk to you very fast. Well, to be truthful, 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 thought I told you this already. "

This can't be real. This really can't be real.

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

...

"Alright I'll explain. I'm you behind all the fears, procrastination, and doubts. I am you...just the better version of you...the one that runs faster than you now on the treadmill, lifts harder, focuses more, and reads more than the...you...right now. I mean basically I am absolutely outstanding. 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 must 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't actually let you know when you'll show up again, but hey...I think I might make a bit of a habit of seeing this dumb look on your face. Anyhow, I needed to show you the true you...the one that's not scared of making decisions and standing by them no matter what. That motivational blog you started, well you aren't really meant to really hear about this right now, but...it is absolutely crushing it. Oh and do not worry about girls, just keep your head down for some time 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.
