I open my eyes to find myself trapped on an island, and I don’t even know how I arrived there. I want to stay there, having something inside me assuring me that that’s the right place where I should be. It starts getting dark, and I start to wonder if I’m doing the right thing, standing there, waiting for something I don’t even know. I know the light is coming. I can feel it! I’ll wait. It’s going to show up. I believe! I keep waiting, but all I can feel is that it’s getting darker and darker. I start questioning the stars and talking to the moon. I look around, nothing but palm trees and sand. What did I expect anyway? It’s just a damn island! No, it’s NOT “just a damn island”. It’s different. It’s the perfect island I’ve always dreamt of living on. I finally got there, but how? Oh yes, now I remember. I made a wish, and it came true! And this is when I started doubting my dreams. Is this really what I wanted? YES, don’t you remember? You always wanted to live on the perfect island, and here you are! What’s wrong with you? Nothing, I just don’t feel comfortable here as I thought I would. It’s dark! And I’ve been waiting for the light to come for so long! Where’s the light? I look through the dark blue sea water to see my own reflection, and I start screaming at it “Where’s the light?” It just dumbly stares back at me, and doesn’t say a word. I raise my head up to the sky “Oh lord! I didn’t know it would be like that, it’s not the perfect island I wanted, there’s no light! Please please take me back to my small house, it would be better to live there in the light, than here in the dark. Oh lord! Please please!” I close my eyes, and keep praying silently from all my heart. I open my eyes to find myself lying on my bed in my small bedroom and I can see the sun rising through my bedroom window. I run to the window and smile ! Was that a dream? Or did it really happen? It felt so real! Anyway, I’m glad I’m back. I just love my house! However, I still believe that I will find the perfect island one day, and that it would be glowing with light ….

My Perfect Island..!
