Coelho writes this line in his bestselling novel, The Alchemist "When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person realize his dream." Although I cannot explain what that means, I can see it happening this week. Being determined to keep a positive attitude all through has made a large difference.
I had a really strange dream last night (mainly caused by reading Veronika Decides to Die, also by Coelho). I dreamt a doctor told me I had 24 hours left to live. I can't really remember what I did or thought when I woke up in the dream to my last day but it was really scary and I was truly relieved when the lights were turned on at 5.30am (double waking up, cool huh). I used to think if death came for me, I would just let it embrace me, so long as the embrace is not too painful or discomfort. I realised that there are many people and things that I can't bear to leave behind if death were to come a-knocking.
It's funny how a dream about dying made me think more about living. :/
