Amsterdam - 2023
The Observant
I was sitting on a platform in the middle of an endless square industrial tower, all alone. Everything looked and felt cold, but I wasn't cold. The platform moved up and down, allowing me to see different things, different people, and different lives on each level. Some of them were completely unknown to me, but others were familiar. I observed how an old friend got older, and how some random people were living their best lives. Suddenly, the platform started to malfunction, and I felt panic. I didn't want to get stuck in the endless tower and become an observer for the rest of this life... If it has an end…
Time to move on
I was waiting in the lobby, not to go up yet, just waiting for The Known to come in. I knew them and they used to know me, but now they were outside with an old version of me and I was inside waiting for them to meet me. I started to get tired of waiting, I needed to move on. I went up once and then went down. I did this multiple times, carrying different boxes with stuff until I finally understood it. It was time to let go and move on. There was nothing left in the lobby, no more boxes and no more Known.
Love, Knowledge and the Unknown
Love and I were on a mission to meet The Unknown, an old friend of mine. We were on this mission because he had told me he had something new to show me. On our way to find The Unknown, who was supposed to be on the third floor, we encountered Knowledge. She offered to guide us to The Unknown's location. We took the lift and began to ascend. Suddenly, the lift stopped and the doors opened to reveal The Unknown. He joined us, but to my surprise, he didn't know where Knowledge was taking us. So now, with Love by my side, I embraced the Unknown and trusted Knowledge as we continued our ascent.
