This Day of Mine
On this day, he woke me up. He made plans for me but I brushed them off because other people had plans for me. He wanted me to stay home with him but we both knew that it's not possible. I was supposed to go with family to the movies today and he could come along. But that plan didn't go through. My friends wanted me to go bike riding with them. They told me he could come but that plan didn't go through as well. Well, we just spent the afternoon, together, me and him. He took me to the barber's to get a haircut. He drank soy milk with me. Then, we danced to 80's music on my phone.By now, you're probably wondering who "he" is. He is me. I spent the day with myself. The thing I am demonstrating to you is the importance of the self. When there's no one left, when no one has your back, you have yourself to turn to. That's why you have to take care of yourself. No matter what you do, you can always count on yourself. You can never let yourself down. You know all about yourself; your strengths and your weaknesses. You can trust yourself because you know yourself. He is the one best friend that you have who will never betray you. When you think about it, you'll never be alone in this world. You always have yourself. That's what I count on to survive this cruel reality.
