…actually, why not?

Who dreams of labor but those who cannot escape it?
Why allow your mind to be chained?
Pursue a dream. A real dream, a preposterous thing.
The kind that makes the dull scream: Impossible!
Unshackle your soul from the humdrum.
Think beyond the past.
Dream true dreams.
Live.

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.
