If I Could Meet Myself For Lunch Sponsored Links If I Could Meet Myself For Lunch “Today you are you, that is truer than true. By Deanne Blackhurst Category: 0 Submit your Articles Here! “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you” —Dr. Suess There is something about the end of a year that causes one to look to the past and try to find meaning in the time that’s already gone by. Perhaps it helps us prepare for the future, or reassures as that we have done more than breath, eat and sleep for the past twelve months. It’s a time for reflection and self-evaluation. The main problem I find when trying to analyze my life, is that I’m doing it from the confines of my own head. This is certainly a biased angle, but it’s the only perspective I posses. I wrote a book one time where the main character dies during the first chapter, and I tried to imagine what it would look like to see myself from the perspective of a detached spirit. Would I recognize my own body from that angle? And would that slack muscle thing that comes after death causing the body to cave in slightly make identifying my lifeless corpse even more challenging? Having never died, I can’t really say for sure, but I assumed that seeing myself dead on the ground would be a somewhat surreal experience. And not one that I would be drawn to fantasize about. But what if I could meet myself alive, perhaps sit across the table at an Applebees, share an appetizer and make conversation. Now that would be an experience worth imagining indeed. Would I see myself, the way I look in the bathroom mirror lit by those special bulbs that make your skin glow like a twenty-year-old girl in love, or would the multiple layers of chin that I try not to notice each morning as I brush my hair, leap out like a crumpled paper bag around my neck? I hope I’d like my smile or the way I try to look attentive when someone else is speaking. No doubt we would both laugh at the same funny stories, and that’s important. I once quit dating a young man because it took him nearly thirty seconds to get my jokes and another ten to come up with a polite laugh. It was like watching a TV show where the audio doesn’t match the video and the mouths move moments before the actual words come out. Timing is everything. We’d talk about our mutual interests of course, our darling baby grandson and why See’s candy is the only chocolates worth eating. I’d hope I wouldn’t be too pushy with my opinions, and I might play devil’s advocate just to see how I respond when someone disagrees with me. Of course, I’d probably see right through that ploy, but still it would be fun to try. Maybe we’d check out the handsome waiters, and reminisce about how young we use to be. Would I agree with myself that we still feel twenty deep, deep inside where no one can see? And would we both cringe at that embarrassing thing we did when we were single and still chasing boys? I hope I’d be polite, and even though I already know all my stories by heart, I’d listen to them again without interrupting and smile and nod in all the right places. I’d like myself more that way I’m sure. And I’d offer to pick up the bill, even though I know I would never allow myself to pay for me and we’d end up splitting the bill. As I sat across from myself, could I offer honest constructive criticism of how I could be a better person, and would I be able to take it in the spirit it was meant? Or would I find it hard to be truthful about my weaknesses and get defensive when I brought it up? When it was time to leave, I think I’d be sad about the separation, until I remembered that it’s me, and we’re always together. And then I would be glad to know I always have someone with me who totally understands how I feel. So the next time I got too hard on myself or became internally abusive, I could remember what a great person I am and how much fun I am to be with, and I’d realize I need to treat myself with kindness and patience. And every now and then, I should meet myself for lunch.
