My imagination

I personally find the idea of imagination fascinating. I really like the fact that I can accomplish things in my mind that I haven’t yet achieved. I think of my future all the time and this keeps me busy wherever I am. It’s a way of forgetting about the past.

Now I would like to share some of my daydreams with you.

My imagination is at work most days and nights and I can’t stop dreaming. I would love to be a bird and fly wherever I want, the way birds do without being imprisoned in a cage. I would love to dance in the air, like a dandelion, and find myself up in the sky. I imagine a lot of things. Sometimes I think that all my dreams have come true, but a few moments later I look around and start laughing when I realise this isn’t so. Why do I think like this? I pretend I have thousands of pairs of shoes, a myriad clothes and brightly coloured handbags. I imagine dressing differently every day, the way well-dressed girls do. I like these thoughts. In general, girls daydream a lot. The colour pink, make-up, pretty clothes, a carefree world just for children… I imagine that I am a citizen of Korea, that I have learnt their language and can talk to the people there. I imagine that I am a professional volleyball player and that I take part in volleyball games. I imagine myself in Canada with my family, where we are living a better life and all my wishes have come true. I would like this dream to become a reality.

I write all the things I imagine in a small notebook, I think about them and would like them all to come true. I work on my imagination in this way. I also hope that all the girls from my country can turn their wishes into reality and that nothing negative will prevent them from accomplishing them.
