W7: If I had a choice...

When I was a child, there was a stray dog that always stayed outside my house named Melon. I wasn't exactly the owner of the melon, although it stayed outside my house every day and night. I will give her food and a blanket and also play with her. Melon will sometimes disappear, and I won't be able to find her outside of my house, but I'm not worried about it because I can easily find her by walking around the neighbourhood or she will return on her own. At that time I wished to have a dog and I kept begging my parents but they did not agree, saying that it was too dirty to have a dog and even if I had one, there was no extra space for it at home. I felt sad because I could only play with Melon to relieve my boredom everyday. One day, a loud bang startled me. I ran quickly to the outside to check what was going on, and I saw Melon fall into a pool of blood. The car who bang Melon had driven away. People were coming over to look; I was frozen, and it took me a while to come

W4: In an alternate universe…


Our universe is so vast that our imagination becomes limited. I think that our imaginations actually exist in another universe. I imagine myself in another universe, I was someone with a lot of hands 🙌🏻. I know it sounds weird that I imagined to have lots of hands. It's ugly, though. I will be like a monster 👻, right?

In another universe, I was someone who wanted to spread kindness because I had empathy for those in need. I feel that one person‘s ability is not enough to help people. Since I have lots of hands in another universe, I lead the old ones across the road, I save stray cats 🐱 and dogs 🐶 who’re in the rain, and I help children who are lost with their parents at the same time. Hehe, it sounds cool to have lots of hands now, right?


I can do everything in a short amount of time with many hands. I can take a shower in 1 minute, do my make-up in 1 minute, and finish a lot of drawings in a very short amount of time! On the contrary, in real life, I was someone who wanted everything to be perfect because I have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), so I am a procrastinator since I want all of my things and my work to be perfect. I'm so envious of myself in another universe because I can have extra time ⌛️⏳ in my day.


Besides, one of the miraculous things about my hands is that they can actually extend. It helps when I'm too lazy to stand up to switch on or off the lights, and I can also easily take anything from anywhere I want. One of the most effective things is that I can scratch my back when I'm feeling itchy.


One thing that really breaks my heart 💔 is that the person I loved most left me. He can’t hold my hands anymore; he can’t hug me anymore; he can’t give me warmth anymore. Even if I have many hands and might can make myself feel better, it wouldn't be the same as the feeling he gives me. Yes, one of the versions of me in a parallel world I am a lonely and insecure girl who has lost the one she loves the most. 


This is only one version of me in my imagination. If I had to list all the different versions of myself, it would take a very long time. But I believe that all the versions of you that you can imagine actually exist. What would your ideal version of yourself be if you could create it? 🦋


Thank you for reading, see you next week!
