Your motivational post for the day

Enemy (2013)
There a dude at my gym who I’m eighty percent sure is a twin. Some days I see him, and he looks … slightly, indefinably different. I nod hey to him to test him, but he always passes—maybe both of them recognize me somewhat? Feel like I’m in a PKD novel, here. I’m often very confused. But trying.

Hopefully see you there.
