Do It Anyway.

There is a moment, between waking and sleeping, when the laws of probability have forgotten themselves. There, in that crack between 'can't' and 'do it anyway', a thought slides along the lines like a silky eel. You want something – something big, something smaller than a whisper – but the world nods its concrete head no. And then it happens: you nod back. Not in response, but in distraction. You pretend.

As if the staircase to the moon is made of rubber and extends to your feet as soon as you wiggle your toes. As if the conversation that never began is now whispering to you through the pores of the air. As if gravity is a free-will suggestion and not a dictator in a crash helmet. You pretend, and the “can’t” dissolves like sugar in boiling water—sweet proof that refusal has a taste you can skip.

Because if you keep looking at the door that remains closed, you miss the moment when the window turns around and becomes a staircase. No, ignoring unachievability is not an escape, it is an embrace with eyes closed, a dance with invisible partners on a floor of masked possibilities.

They say, “You have to be realistic.” But realism is just a ceiling in disguise. And ceilings don’t really exist, they’re just floors that have forgotten to fall upward. When you pretend something can, it starts to believe in itself. The bottomless jump catches you with a nod. The bridge that wasn’t there appears under your feet when you pretend you’ve already passed it.

It is not naivety. It is rebellion. Not dreams, but deception with a smile. You whisper to the impossible, “You are not real.” And it does not answer, because you are right. You ignore the border, and the border loses its way.

So, if something can't be done, turn around. Act as if it can. And don't look back. Because all you see there is an imprint of what you could have missed if you had listened.
