Milomi's world

In many of our lives, though we are on earth, we live lives in many other worlds – which are imaginary. We create these worlds similar to the multiple universes created in books, movies, television serials, games, shows, and much more. We often retire to those worlds and imagine ourselves living lives there and experiencing experiences we’d never experienced.

As we grow older, some of us struggle keeping those worlds alive. We claim that we have too many other worlds now revolving around us. And that we, too, revolve around many other worlds. These worlds lack the fun and laughter and surprise that was felt in our created worlds. However, instead of bringing those worlds back, we try to abandon them.

There are many things in life we cannot abandon. Our imaginary worlds is one of them. There is a small part of ourselves that knows this. But its voice is drowned by your constant attempts to abandon worlds.

Times come, when we see the younger generation thrive and enjoy amidst their created worlds. They run around pretending they are the bravest warriors fighting on Ragnarok. They pretend to be the doctor and nurse a child back to health. They pretend to be the police, as they sprint off to arrest the thieves and save the day. They joust with sticks, pretending to be Percy Jackson, as he sparred against the evil in his worlds. They giggle as they pull off a prank on Hermione with Ron. They imagine themselves singing at their international concert, and bringing the house down. They see themselves holding up Thor’s hammer and defeating the villains. They see themselves accomplishing the impossible.

We want to abandon these worlds for we feel that we’ve understood the world. We think that the impossible cannot be achieved, and that one would be mad to think so.

However, imagination cannot hurt. Instead, it makes us believe. And with that in our minds, we must embrace those worlds. Those worlds where we crept off to be consoled, to have fun, to battle monsters, to have our own happily ever afters. We grew up with these worlds. We can’t just let go of all those stories. Of all those stories we weaved. Of the impossible.
