Emile Courthoud

You and Yourself

You wander around the city.
There is energy in the air, you can feel it.
You are in the right place.

You look around, surprised.
There is nobody, yet the atmosphere is vibrant.
And you are enjoying it.

You head to work.
You are hungry. Hungry for knowledge.

You look around, surprised.
The office is also empty. Perhaps everyone is working from home.
Never mind. You put your head down and get started. Exciting.

You set off for the gym. Ready to work out.
You feel great when you're fit and healthy.

You look around, very surprised.
The gym is empty as well, yet the door is open.

You close your eyes. And think.
Then you realize.

This is your life.
Your own life. Yours only.
