TAKE A SEAT. ROCK THE CHAIR. FORGET THE WORLD IS WATCHING. FORGET WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE. FORGET YOUR FAILURES. FORGET YOUR ENEMIES. FORGET YOUR LIMITS. CLOSE YOUR EYES.LOOK BACK. REMEMBER YOUR AUNT AND UNCLE. REMEMBER YOUR MOM AND DAD. FALL BACK INTO THEIR WORLD. LET THEM GROW YOUNG. FEEL THEIR SOFT SKIN. THINK OF THEIR WISHES. ENJOY THEM.

OPEN YOUR EYES. FOCUSE ON A DISTANT WISH OF YOUR OWN. TARGET YOUR DESTINATION. GO THERE IN YOUR MIND. THINK BIG. BUT MOVE SLOWLY. TAKE YOUR TIME. WATCH YOUR STEP. ADMIRE THE FEET THAT CARRY YOU. TAKE ANY AMOUNT OF DETOURS. DON’T LISTEN TO THE WITCHES IN THE WOOD.

GET LOST. GET LOST IN THOUGHT. SEE THE DOWNSIDE OF YOUR PLAN. SEEK DEPRESSION. BATH IN IT. SEE THE STEEP PATH YOU’RE ABOUT TO CLIMB. FEEL THE ENDLESS STRUGGLE. CRY. TRY TO FORGET YOUR WISH. STOMP ON IT. NEGLECT IT. IF IT SURVIVES, FOLLOW IT. BUT DO NOT DO SO ON YOUR OWN.

ARRIVE. ADMIRE YOUR WISH UP CLOSE. QUESTION THE WISH. TEST IT. TAKE A SAMPLE. HAS IT CHANGED DURING YOUR JOURNEY? HAVE YOU CHANGED DURING THE JOURNEY? ARE YOU SURE IT’S STILL YOUR WISH? ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE IT’S STILL YOUR WISH?
