Hello, coffee lovers ☕!
I like this week's prompt, so I'll treat it as an exercise, an experiment. I'm inspired by a series I recently watched: Dark Matter, which I highly recommend.
There's a theory that says a multiverse exists. It's created from every decision we make. In one universe, there's the version of me who decided to sit at this table and order a cup of coffee, and in another universe, there's another version of me who never sat down.
That version is the furthest removed from my own reality, since I would always sit down to drink coffee, at this table or any other.
But it's a possibility. I know people who, for some medical reason, can't drink coffee. That must be sad.
But, if with each choice a new version of myself emerges, then what do I leave behind when I drink this cup of coffee? Well, all those versions of myself who chose something else. This version of me who drinks the coffee chooses to spend my time with the people I love and doing what I love most.
I've never been afraid of the future. In fact, I've rarely thought long-term about it. So I'm not afraid of anything that's coming. With every decision, I reinvent myself. Every day I strive to be better than the day before, both in my career and as a person. Therefore, I believe I'm ready to put down this cup of coffee and face whatever the future holds.
I think there would be few versions of me in this multiverse who would think differently.
So, when I leave the coffee shop, I'll be a new person, different from the one who walked in. That's not a bad thing, quite the opposite. What would be bad is not changing, always staying the same. Don't you think?
