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

Is this some sort of joke?!

"Answer the damn door. "

::door opens::

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

Make yourself at home.

"Look I haven't got much time here because I need to run but I wanted to talk with 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 man. It is. I am you."

...

"Alright I will explain. I am the version of you behind all of the fears, procrastination, and doubts. I'm 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 fundamentally I am 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 towards. I can't truly make it clear when this version of you will show up again, but hey...I think I would like to make a habit of seeing this dumb look on your face. Anyways, I needed to show you the genuine you...the one that is not scared of making decisions and standing by them regardless. That little blog you started, well you aren't meant to really letting you know this at the moment, but...it is absolutely crushing it. 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 really 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.
