Fancy a Mini Mind Movie?

It’s the most fun you can have when you're bored.

For a great distraction, it’s brilliant to imagine…
Living as you in a parallel universe.
If what could have been, actually happened.
If I couldn’t have children?
If I had made different choices?
If I married a different boyfriend?
If I didn’t stuff up that job but thrived at it?
And the daydream plays out with you as someone entirely different.
A person who’s wildly more attractive.
A person who’s flawless and wrinkle-free.
A person wading in huge wads of cash and being wildly successful.
I’m aware of being fanciful.

Life isn’t like that.

But, for 5 minutes every once in a while
It’s awesome to ponder.
It’s also terrific fun to star in your mini-mind-movie.
Where, naturally, you’re winning at the wonderful game of life.

As if.

Pretending.

Playing make-believe.

In a better parallel universe.

A world with world peace as well.
