I have trouble looking for the best thing to do when every move I make, someone will always oppose it. I have been trapped in a dream countless time, which brought me to the point where I have to double-check if I am back in the real world.
But what is the real world? Whenever I sleep and dream, it feels so real that I hear, taste, and see reality. Maybe I miss her so much that the more I went deeper into my dreams, the more it felt like she was beside me.
Whenever I snapped out of it, I woke up in a reality where I was home alone. I looked around, hoping it was not just a dream. But it was, I figured, I am not lonely but just alone. Suddenly my cat acted like being petted. I could not see it. Hence, I assumed it must be a spirit or they must be.
I realized at that moment that I was not alone. I never was alone, way back before since I had a cat, way back when I was just a baby. Someone was always watching me.
Others may think that's creepy because the ghost might be watching you sleep or take a bath. It can be scary too. I think it's sweet and I am thankful since the spirit was willing to accompany me. I do not mind whatever the intentions are because the phantom is wasting time because I have nothing else to offer except my dreams.
Whoever it is, I guess it helps me keep my sanity by pulling me away from the trap. I do not hesitate to stay in the alternate reality—the reality where things had worked out for both of us and where I can be with my love.
On the contrary, it hit me that maybe the phantom kept me out of the dream to meet her. We can't be together for some reason, but at least we can still bond as friends. I guess in this universe, we were destined to be friends.
But how can I determine that what I am doing now is not just a dream? How will you know you are not dreaming now? Are you sure you are in the reality you are supposed to be? That is the interesting part, right? The dream was so perfect that you did not notice a difference, although, in the latter part, you will sense something is off.
We have to keep in mind that our reality is always imperfect. But what if the dream was imperfect too? How would you get away with it? I guess if you have a phantom with you, it will help you out of the trap. But do you really want out of it?
Dreams aren't always good, which is why, there are also bad dreams and sometimes just blank. Either way, someone is always there to pull us out. We may not know our purpose in our universe, but at least we try to make the most of it. Oh wait, do not try. Just appreciate the moment of life given to you. It will not always be good. Everything is temporary, after all. Our emotions are temporary, we can be happy now, and a sudden gust of information or rhythm of change hits us and can make us sad, angry, or more. Our life is temporary. We will soon face death. But why worry about something we can't control if we can do something about the things we can manage.
Life is simple, do not overthink it. We will eventually learn the things we need if we let ourselves become teachable. After all, we do not know anything from the start. After all, we are all blank slates, not until we gain experience, learn from it, and we shall grow.
We can't satisfy everybody, which is why we must choose our friends wisely. We must be surrounded by people who can help us grow. We do not need to satisfy everybody anyways since we did not live for them. We live for ourselves. It may sound selfish, but it is another way of saying, mind your own business.
Do you think I am wrong? Then that is exactly the point. If you think I am right, then thank you. If you think I am not wrong nor right, then that's your problem.
There are a lot of things going on in this story, or is it a story? You will be the judge of that. You may answer through the given standard of society or your guts. Either way, you can be both right and wrong at the same time.
Now I ask you once more, are you in the reality you were supposed to be? How would you know what is the right or wrong thing to do? There are branches of the multiverse out there that we can travel freely in our dreams. What is real? What is life?
