Waking up in a world of uncertainties and impossibles, Alice experienced everything that was Wonderland... A place where, flowers are talking, rabbit run late, and potions and cakes make you grow or shrink, it's a dream. PERIOD.
I had my six impossible things too, you know:
If Alice had a potion that can make her small, I had a tendency to look down on myself.
Believe it or not, I may talk endlessly and somehow exude self-confidence but I still have a tendency to evaluate myself. Whenever, I'm alone I write things in a piece of paper like: practice English grammar, try getting on a diet, focus more on studies, you're losing yourself and blah blah blah... I question myself so much, that I am my own insecurity. In my family, I'm the only one who can't play an instrument and I feel so down already. They say, that it's because I was 'attention-deprived' when I was a kid... but I somehow fixed that. Highlight: somehow
If Alice had a cake that can make her grow, I have a pill called Cherifer.
Yes, I still take Cherifer! I'm a flat 5'0 and I want another number next to it. Hell, 5'2 is my goal, two inches to go!
If Alice's animals can talk, my magic eight ball always answered my questions, in yes, no, maybe and later.
I have two magic eight balls, the black and red one. I believe so much in things like charms, luck and magic eight balls that my family finds it amusing. But every time I was right, I always felt smug. I once shaked the eight ball and asked, "Will I pass UP?" Magic eight ball answered, "Definitely." My mom checked if I really did pass and when I got home, I did. I even had 'lucky' headbands and 'study' headbands that I wore to school whenever I needed luck, wisdom or fun. Yes, so far all of them do work.
If Alice's cats can disappear, my voice can disappear too.
Thrice in my whole life, I've lost my voice. All of them after Batch Cheering Competition. Splits, cartwheels and etcetera are deemed to be so easy that I can't do any of them, except bridge! So I show support with my loud voice, during those two days of practice and competition day itself, I never lose energy because I feel like if I lose mine, others will follow suit. So I'd rather lose my voice for a week or two than the whole batch lose their 'muchness'.
If Alice had Wonderland, I had Dollhouse.
Dollhouse is a series of short stories that I've written, a creative outlet. It's actually not very 'happy' since it revolves around horrors like enchanted dolls, voodoo dolls. porcelain dolls and Barbie. Yeah, I have a dollphobia. So instead of fearing them, I wrote a few to let out my fear... It was really fun writing about fears.
If Alice had to slay the Jabberwocky, I can pass the BSA program.
Can I really?We defy reality when we live out our dreams.
We start doing the impossible when we've set our minds to it.
We stop just existing when we start living our lives.
