Julissa's Favorite Shirt
I vaguely recall waking up in the helicopter with a crazed look painted onto the face of the trauma paramedic that stood above me. “CLEARRRRR” she was halfway down with the paddles before she realized my eyes were open. It was an awkward moment, to say the least. Her face settled as we stared into the eyes of each other. I wonder if she knew I had desperately hoped to slip away this time.. especially upon realizing I was in a helicopter. Fun fact did you know that the cost of being airlifted averages around $40,000 and I didn't have health insurance. Anyways, I was almost there, across that home stretch. I hadn't seen the light people tell you to go into, what I saw was much more intense.

Pathway Back
And all the kings and kingsmen, people of the village, queens, warriors, intellects, and commonfolk came together with the intention of setting out on a quest to help me find a way back to the light that I lost. So I stayed in the dark for 30 days and 30 nights, awaiting their return, And after all that time had passed I saw them emerge from the hills, smiles from ear to ear. I found myself perplexed and surprised as they stood before me to see that they had gathered several pathways back to joy. The kingsmen came first, layed out various literature for me, upon which I wasted no time plunging in, The Koran, The Holy Bible, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita. However to my great dismay after scouring through page after page reading texts over and over again, dissecting words for meaning and all, I still felt empty inside.

Lifetimes Ago
Conners death was something he had always feared in the back of his mind, but vaguely enough he recalled that he knew it was coming and the event itself wasn't painful. At the time, he was swallowed by a darkness blacker than the darkest unlit night, the darkness never brightened or went away. And in that darkness he floated amongst the nothingness, for hours, or days, maybe even months until he felt a strange sensation overcome his being. ‘How is it possible that I can feel anything?’ he pondered, overwhelmed by the unexplainable sensations that consumed him. Suddenly before him, the face of a seemingly holy being manifested into the dark. At first, it seemed that this face was twisted but as it came into focus, he realized that face of this ethereal being was turned up in joy. He couldn’t remember the last time he felt that kind of joy, even when he was alive. And before he knew it, the God-like being lifted a finger larger than the trunk of the biggest tree you can imagine and tapped Conner ever so gently, yet this touch was powerful enough to send him spiraling down, on and on into nothingness. An unknown amount of time passed before the unthinkable happened.

Freefalling
I woke up to a text from my best friend, whose boyfriend's, friend of a friend, with connections to the higher-ups, said that they heard there’s been talk amongst the city council of a lockdown. Still, it seemed very unlikely to me. Even with no toilet paper on the shelves and news reports of lockdowns happening everywhere else in the world. So when it did happen, the curfew, the lockdowns, the job closing, the government assistance, besides it all feeling slightly dystopian I have to admit, It was incredible. Ever since I got my first job at Butterball turkey factory, I longed for the day when I would get a fucking break. Not a two-day break. Not a week off. But an actual break from the rat race of capitalism. This life of working to earn just enough money to survive and maybe show my friends and family that I’m not a total failure. My dad always said the only way it was possible was by graduating from college and getting a ‘good job’. Working at my latest soul-sucking job- the fanciest restaurant/club in town, however, gave way to me meeting enough CEOs and wealthy humans that had never seen a degree. It gave me the push I needed to drop out of college. Don’t get me wrong I tried and tried and wanted so badly for it to work, to make my parents proud but it just wasn't me.

The Awakening
In a timeless place and a formless space, I sat face to face with the All. The Ohm the One. This may sound unfathomable yet all this transpired as if I were having a conversation with myself because I was. “You will go to this planet whoms species suffers amnesia of the soul and in this incarnation, you too will experience similar amnesia. You will not remember your fractal nature. Will not remember your omnipotent nature, in the earth simulation everything you experience will seem so real you will forget this very conversation, this very moment.”

To Jumping
I sat on the shore of Matala Beach and looked out at the collage of colors and shapes, waves elegantly cresting before melting into the horizon. It was the type of sunset that would make aliens peering in from a distant galaxy think that the sky was on fire.
