When you were a child, you spoke as a child, thought as a child, and probably acted like a child. Now that you are an adult, have you given up on childish things? Probably not completely. And who could blame you? Children certainly live in a more exciting world than you do, with your credit cards, bills, balance books, insurance policies, and current affairs. Every day you get older, you lose another part of that child. And what do you gain in return? Experience? Wisdom? Knowledge? Happiness? Truth? Never mind. You already know the answer and you don’t need me to say it for you. And perhaps you don’t want to act like a child, anyway. After all, you need to be taken seriously in order to keep your chance for that promotion. Perhaps wearing your favorite pink shorts outside your comfy green pajamas would be fun but it might kill your chances for that next big raise. And you certainly could use the money. The economy is never great and you haven’t invested as much for your retirement as you would’ve liked.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just leave everything that ties you down? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to fly a little plane from town to town and give people rides in exchange for a bit of money? Enough for gas and food, that’s all you’d need. There’d be no more debt collectors calling you and nobody telling you what to do. You could spend your free time alone, staring into the sky, vaporizing clouds. At night you could be alone with your dreams, fast asleep under the stars.

Life is like a stage. Or a movie. Or a comic book. No. Never mind that. Life is any analogy you want it to be. Maybe you’d rather live in an art gallery. Or a hole in the ground. You’re the director. And the producer. And the inker. The paint. The shovel. Your life can be whatever you want it to be. You can do anything you want to if you just set your mind to it. Of course, you may have to put some physical effort into it. Anything you can imagine can be made to come true. Life itself and everything therein is an illusion. The only real thing is imagination. And like any fantasy, the only limits are those created by the mind of the dreamer. The universe, being of infinite size and possibilities has no limit to the concept of possible. Perhaps you think something is impossible, perhaps due to laws of physics, gravity, or thermodynamics. Just remember: the universe is not limited by such trivial details. If you cannot imagine it, it is likely that the universe has already created such a thing.

But there is one law that remains constant throughout the cosmos and that is the law of attraction. Similar things are attracted to similar things. That is, negative things attract negative things and positive things attract positive things. Hot attracts hot. Ugly attracts ugly. Cold-hearted attracts cold-hearted. Perhaps you might say that opposites attract but this only applies to magnetics and it really must be noted that magnetic objects attract only other magnetic objects. And when it comes to love, two things that appear dissimilar are usually not that different. Hate can only come from what once was love just as anger springs from lost patience. Anyway, nothing is real and all that you experience is merely an illusion. So why bother continuing your existence? Can you choose any life you want? Of course you can. But if you want another life, you may have to go through the trouble of ending this one first. So, you’d better be sure that it’s worth the hassle.
