If you have a magic cup, that turns into a barrel. Would you change it?
If your flying carpet can clean your floor, would you choose it?
If you could enter a book of your choosing, would you leave?
Or would you stay?
Confronted by darkness, would you close your eyes and pretend you're in a faraway land?
Because I did. I always did. And I hate myself every single time because of it.
How can someone turn their back on reality just because they cannot carry the heavy burden of darkness and pain?
How can someone be so gutless that they ran as fast as they could at the smallest sign of discomfort?
How can someone be so unfeeling that they close their eyes and cover their ears to stop themselves from facing what's in front of them?
Why do I wish for a magic carpet to take me to a faraway land?
Why do I sleep in the middle of the day just to dream of a better reality?
I tried to savor each smell and capture in my memories the beauty of the sea. I have to ground myself and surround myself with sand and seaweed on the shore. I taste the salt of the water and the heat burning my skin.
I have to understand that the world is more beautiful than the place where the magic carpet could take me.
