You ever just turn on your favorite gaming device and get ready to sit down and play something with you friends? You open your go-to messaging service and… …none of them are online. You message a few. They don’t respond, except for one telling you that tonight won’t work and that maybe tomorrow would suit them better. You stare at your screen or your phone. You could play the game by yourself but what’s the fun of playing a game you always play with your friends, without them? So you sit, waiting for a response or an invite or a call, but nothing comes. After what seems like hours of waiting for your buddies, your patience slips, and you disappointedly turn off your device, but not before sending one last message to a friend or two. You get up from your table or desk, and go sit somewhere, maybe your bed or couch, until it’s finally late enough to where you have to tuck in for the night. Suddenly, your phone buzzes. You pick it up and turn it over to see a text from a friend, with the glorious words you had been waiting to hear all night: “I can play now.” You smile, but your eyes dart toward the top of your screen, to your phone’s clock. It’s late, a lot later than you thought it was. You can’t stay up later. Defeated, you sigh and type out: “Sorry man, I should really go to bed. Let’s try tomorrow.” Your friend replies quickly: “Sounds good, have a good night, man.” You shut off your phone and place it next to you. You think of the times you could’ve had that night with your friends. But as your daydreams slip into dreams, you think that maybe because of today, tomorrow will be better than any day. And it just might be.
