Dreem-wotw: The Blank Book

I was given a blank book to rewrite my future. I stared at it puzzled not knowing what to write as I took the pen with shaky hands and began to jot down my past. The pains, struggles, rejections, wrongs, and imperfections kept flooding through my heart. I looked at the calendar placed beside the wall clock, it was the first day in a new year.

"Who had placed the calendar beside the clock must have thought deeply" I mumbled. All I have said about myself the past years were negative, I had not for once looked beyond the pains and rejection to see the blessings in disguise.

"It's a new year" I said to myself , before me was a blank book to rewrite my story and it was left for me to write what I wanted. My heart still aches from the pains, battered by the rejections, but they were all in the past. The clock ticked clockwise leaving behind yesterday for today.

"It was high time I spoke what I wanted into the book" I said as I was determined to leave what's in the past to stay in the past. The years I had held onto the past had only left me vulnerable to hate and bitterness and had eaten every seed of happiness in me.

"Dear me" I began. Canceling all the negative testimony I have started to write."It's been 20 years you've held onto this pain, it's high time you moved on to the better things that lie ahead. Yesterday is gone, all you have left is today and tomorrow. Start this new year with a fresh page and a fresh life" I told myself in the blank book presented to me. Immediately I felt at peace, much lighter and happier. The weight I have carried for years has been as a result of my forgiveness.

"Thank You" I said to my creator who had made seasons and time to give us a blank page to restart.

A blank page is so full of promise, isn't it? I'm glad your protagonist realised the true gift of the blank future awaiting and decided to make fully use of that blank book.

I came to read your Dreem-WOTW entry via Dreemport. 😊

He indeed made the right decision at the end of the day. Every new year is that blank book and it remain the decision of the protagonist on what to do with it.
