As i closed my eyes, I was immersed into a different reality. In a void with nothing but the heat and radiant beam projected by the Sun. There I was with an immovable body. It felt as if my body was petrified.

I could hear distant echoes from somewhere. He was calling me. He kept on calling my name but I had no control over the movement of my body that was facing the sun's heat and crying with pain and agony internally. With no choice but to float forever in what seemed to be an Infinite Void.

I could hear him clearer and clearer as if he was slowly approaching me. There was warmth but a different one - one that healed me and made me feel safe. The Sun gave up when his warmth gave me enough strength to open my eyelids. But I wasn't able to see this person as he vanished and stopped calling my name. I felt betrayed and alone. The Sun had left and the void was filled with an eerie atmosphere .

I was left alone with my own fear: self-confrontation. It was worse than death. I had no one by my side and I kept on drifting away in this empty space of nothingness. I had several thoughts. I tried to recall the best memories of mine. However, I couldn't remember any. I felt as if I had never made any good memories. Instead of reminiscing on the good days, the piled up regrets started making their appearance on my mind. So many regrets that I couldn't make up for. The feeling of being useless and worthless made my heart ache but all I could do was deift away into space. Even nature itself forbid me from displaying my emotions such as crying and laughing as my entire body was numb.

Suddenly, a precious memory popped up on my mind. It was my friends and me having a laugh at each other and being genuinely happy. Again, another memory crossed my mind, my family having a great chat and laughing at dad's satire towards "modern society". I don't know how but I was able to smile as I was floating in the void. My body was moving. I could finally open my eyes. I finally understood what life held for me. There they were, my friends and family, waiting for me to open my eyes wide. Maybe life isn't just full of sadness, it's the way we view it. Or perhaps, life is an experience that prepares you for what is to come: a reality so surreal like The Void.
