"Heaven"


Have you ever imagined what heaven would be like? I tried to today. Aside from seeing the tall misty black iron wrought gates, perched upon clouds, i see a long line of people queuing to enter that utopia promised to them. And then i thought, maybe they should have a holding room. For those awaiting their time in heaven. Maybe a little video room, for them to pop in videos of their lives and reminisce.


In my imagination, i saw long corridors, rooms lined on the sides, doors saying "Hilarious", "Angry", "Frustrated", "Sad" and so on. I saw myself dragging a friend, so she can share my fond memories, show them just how funny those moments were, how much they meant to me. But then again, do they have friends in heaven? Then i thought of showing someone, anyone, those times when things got so frustrating, how people can become so insolent and irritating.


Before i held myself back and thought: whats the point of holding on to these moments when they trouble you, play with your mind and piss you off like hell? When i step into heaven, if i ever get there, i want to leave everything unhappy behind and enter heaven with only beautiful memories in hand and blessings for the people after me, that they can do the same.


And so, Felicia, it is high time you let go.
