I had finish reading 'A Place Called Here' by Cecelia Ahern, an Irish author, who happens to be the daughter of Ireland's Prmie Minister. I really love all her books because her ideas were out of teh box and her writing find, brilliant.
A Place Called Here was about a woman who had an obsession of finding for things that she had lost. You know for example, socks, earrings...and the list goes on. So to cut things short, she found a place where all the missing people or missing things go to and the 'residence' called this place 'Here'. There was even a place called 'Lost and Found' where things such as socks,earrings and diaries were. As it is, her lost possession, the ones that she had lost when she was younger were all in a box.
When she was younger a schoolmate of hers went missing and now 14 years later, they met at this place called 'Here'.
I know that this all might sound irrelevant BUT i was starting to think "what if there is such place?".
I was searching through a drawer one find day at work. I wanted to find a file that had customer's name labelled on them. I search through it 3-4 times to no avail. I know that it has to be there coz i had it in my list. One week later, i tried again and was surprised to find it on my first time...at the same spot i did a week ago! SO i was thinking maybe it went to 'Here' and then came back again, coz in Ahern's story, some things came back to the owner and this was what made me irratinally think that such place might just exist.
One other story by her was "If You Could See Me Now" which is about imaginary friends. At the end of the story, one of teh main characters which happens to be an imaginary friend said something like: "Have you ever wondered if we really exist to help you get through certain things in life?"
What if imaginary friends do exist???That all those people you see on the street and those small toddlers and kids who were talking to something/someone in front of them(you cant see themof course) do exist!
Time to ponder over these things...
