…actually, why not?
Describe your life in an alternate universe.
Which one, though?
There are infinities upon infinities to choose from. With every choice, a new alternate splits apart, and a new universe is born.
Each choice an alternate, each alternate a choice. And in them, this life is the alternate one. The better one. Maybe the worse. Who knows?
So, better make the best of it now, one choice at a time.

Describe one habit that brings you joy.
Give your mind time to rest.
At least once a week, stay offline all day, go outside, and experience the world as it is. See the sky with your own eyes. Feel the sunlight on your skin. Experience the wind as it moves around you.
Talk to real people.
Figure out how to be human.

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?
Again, too many to count, but let’s go with Charlie and The Misanthrope’s Chocolate Factory.
From Prince Pondicherry to 4 Grandparents in 1 bed, Little Me had a tremendous amount of questions while reading. Also, those chocolates, candies, and sweets sounded amazing. Finally, no way the Oompa Loompas never figured out another diet on their own (always bothered me).
Then there were The Chocolate Trials:
At first it was enormously satisfying to watch spoilt brats and bullies have the day they deserved. The Oompa Loompas DGAF and Willy Wonka was a revelation: An adult who stood firm in the face of irate parents? Amazing.
After multiple re-reads, though, the terrible children’s “just deserts” stopped being so perfectly just, given how their parents were horrible already and really weren’t being, y’know, parents. Especially in comparison to Charlie’s family, who clearly cared for Little Bucket.
Eye-opening for a kid.
