Would you do you? If there was a you clone, would you jump that train? I know that this is all very strange and I bet you're sitting there thinking Hey this is all very strange. Well the fact is, it is. But it's one of those important questions in life that needs to be answered. We love ourselves. There is no point denying it. The theory of fight or flight works for that very reason. If there was a car coming towards you, you would jump out of the way because you value your life and your self. So the short answer is yes, you would do you.
The real question is, would you be in a relationship with you. Let's just say for a minute that being gay or straight doesn't matter (hey let's say that that's always the case) could you be in a relationship with you? I have had some time to think about this. Don't ask me why, it's just one of those Gareth's brain things. I don't know that I could be in a relationship with me. I think that my personality would clash. I pride myself on my sense of humour. Even when no one else is laughing, I still find it funny. It's not arrogant, my jokes are for me. If other people like them, that's great too. But I don't think I could be around a guy who thinks he's funnier than I am.
That's why I would find it so hard to be an identical twin. They are one person in two bodies...what? That's not right you say? All I'm saying is that when I look back over memories in photographs I want to know that it was actually me standing there, not some weird guy just like me but with a different name. Ok... now I'm just starting to sound weird. My bad.
I could never be with myself. Who would complete me? Who would make up for my downfalls? I am who I am because of the person I am with. If were just with me, I would just be me. That's why I thank my lucky stars (oh yes, I have lucky stars) that I have found the one person on earth that can be more than just a companion. I have found that person who makes me, us.
