THE BEST IMITATION OF MYSELF
|
Maybe I just wanted to dream a little while longer. Hit the snooze button. Roll over. Go back to sleep. Try to get back to that place that made me smile for no reason in particular.
I am at an award show. I'm nominated for Best Actor. As the presenter is listing the rest of the nominees, I am hoping that I am the winner. I have my acceptance speech ready.
There is a build up. I am starting to stand up from my chair because I am almost 100% sure that I am going to win. I was the fan favorite. How could I not win?
Yet... Someone else's name is called.
I sit back down and clap politely. Flushed. A little embarrassed that for even a slight moment I thought I might have been the winner.
Not that I have any hard feelings about not being the winer. "It is an honor just to be nominated." Yet when I go home, it still feels a little lonesome without an award to call my very own. |
