Worlds Apart
I remember my routine just a month ago — waking up in the morning, having my coffee, getting ready and going out. Then walking to my office, I would always see the same people. And the same animals were just standing there recognizing me every time. I even had names for them.
This is Alice. She is living near a restaurant on the main boulevard. When I was passing by in the mornings, she was taking naps on the restaurant tables before they were set for use. As cats always prefer laying down on an object and not a usual dull surface, the chains wrapped around the tables were her choice. Hence her name — Alice in Chains.
Today my workplace is twice as far away from home. Thus, I am forced to go to work by car, as much as I’d always prefer to walk. And there’s the main difference! I grew to miss all the people and faces I don’t really know, but used to meet every morning. I miss Alice.
You can imagine what a gap between the two worlds could open in just one month. And they are both YOUR two worlds! Only by living in a relatively small town, but changing the directions your daily routine takes you at, and the means to get there turns out like getting a new life. All the things there were are now just some beautiful memories — something that we regularly create by jumping from one world to another.
By paying attention to the little things we encounter, we create a wormhole to traverse throughout our lives’ timeline. Now whenever I take a walk on this boulevard and see Alice, it all comes back to me — what I was doing and who I was back in that routine I had then.
Remember little things like indices of your days — it’s incredible how when you recall them, they rewind and bring whole stories before your eyes! Stories that either made you happy or let you learn something.
We either jump off from one world to another, or we get pushed, it doesn’t matter — changes are real, and they happen. But magic only happens when you interact with these infinite new worlds and experience life.
Whoever you are, reading this story, thank you for bringing your own color!
