Prompt. Initiating…
(;
You discover there is a person who looks exactly like you.
My example :
I have a doppelganger. Can you believe that? I have a doppelganger.
I could have gone my whole life without knowing but as luck was on my side, I live in just the right place. Although I have never personally met her, the people I know have.
I would give anything for a moment to come face to face with another Stephanie. I think it would be totallt weird at first, but after the initial shock, I think it would be the most wonderful thing ever! We could become like besties! I wonder if its not just our looks and our personalities are the same too.
Ooh, what if a doppelganger really is the whole package? Not just the looks, but the whole persona too?
Except I already know the answer to that. People who have met this mysterious Jane Doe say that she’s a more extroverted version of myself. Eerily similar personalities but she exudes a confidence I seem to not have. I don’t know rather to be intrigued or jealous of my look-alike.
Anyway, about a month ago, a colleague of mine was totally convinced that I was at some “provocative” bar an hour and a half away from where we live. I must have one wild doppelganger because what in the wild west would my colleague think I was doing there?
I’m the type to work, grocery shop, go for a walk, clean my house, eat, relax, sleep, rinse & repeat. Not much to my life. And I must add, I’m not a provocative person at all. I have no boyfriends, no crazy exes. I’m practically a virgin over here!
And let’s ask the real question here; what was my seventy-year-old colleague doing there anyway?! And why was he approaching me about this if it would have actually been me?!
Ugh, eww. Moving on…
Okay, so I also had a family member convinced I was out to eat at the local Texas Roadhouse when I was in fact cozied up at home getting my beauty sleep. Let’s say that again… the local Texas Roadhouse!
I swear, I better run into her someday. Not only do I basically have a twin that wasn’t born with me, but she’s here – literally here – and I’m so close to fate arranging this glorious day. I can feel it.
On the other hand, there are some weird instances that I can’t seem to figure out. I had a friend who actually hung out with this mysterious person who apparently really does call herself Jane (albeit the Doe) and they even took a picture together! She showed it to me but the photo was so blurry that I casually brushed it off in front of her when really, I can’t stop thinking about it. My friend can be a clown but something tells me she’s not lying. If my creepy colleague, a family member, and my friend have seen this Jane person, she is real.
Maybe even, I have met her and just don’t remember? I have considered this. Especially since I’ll sometimes walk by a place I’ve never been and have this really strong sense of familiarity. But I know for a fact I have never been there before. That theory doesn’t really make sense though.
But wait…
What if I have this all wrong? Maybe it’s not that I met her before. What if we are connected somehow? And since we are so close in proximity, we have some weird telepathic whatchya-ma-callit thing going on here? Like, her memories become mine, and mine becomes hers?!
No, scratch that. I don’t have nearly a good enough memory to hold my very own memories, let alone hers too.
Well, that leads me to this last thought. There is one last theory that I can’t seem to get out of my head…
What if it really is me?
Ooh… does she ever get to meet this mysterious Jane look-alike? Or what if Steph is on to something and Jane isn’t real at all? Could it really be Stephanie herself? After all, she doesn’t have a great memory. Maybe she actually has memory lapses and has a split personality disorder. Rest assure you though, I’m sure she would find out soon enough!
How’d you do pals?!
