So my professor was talking about Plato and somehow eventually coerced the class to close our eyes and visualize our ultimate goal in life. I thought for sure I knew what I was going to see. I knew I was going to see myself a successful graphic designer owning a janky warehouse turned art gallery/tea house.
What I saw with my eyes closed was really disturbing. I had to open my eyes because I couldn't handle it.
I was in a room sitting in front of a computer. It's a MAC, mind you, with Illustrator open. I've never seen it before, but, for some reason, I knew it was mine. I was in my house. Through the window, I could see green hills sprawling and never ending. I was in the country side. I was in Poland.
Standing by the door watching was a man grinning at me.
I had to open my eyes.
It was really disturbing. I was terrified.
