in the world of people at all. And that’s exactly the same feeling — that when you are in this magical world, you are so detached from society that you cannot even have one percent of the thought “what is this person doing, or where is that one now?” You don’t have any of that. You don’t even remember a single person. You’re simply like a child, as if there’s no noise in your head, no thoughts, no judgments — nothing, just emptiness. And you’re just sitting there building Lego all day, and that’s it — you’re happy. And you don’t think things like: “I’ve built a lot of Lego, or how much Lego have I built, how much is left, is it already evening, when will I go eat or read a book?” — there is no such plan. That is, in this magical world you are like a child, you have no plan at all. You just do something with enthusiasm as long as you want to do it, and that’s it. Well, as if everything is based on feelings. But not on animal instincts, on the feelings of the heart. Peace in this world, no anxiety, no fears, no doubts. And the state is not some kind of foggy, clouded, like it happens from emotions, as if you are in an ecstasy. No. That is, on the contrary, crazy clarity. As if all this time your head was in some kind of total noise, and as if you didn’t see anything, didn’t hear anything, and lived on some kind of autopilot, and here you as if woke up — that’s the feeling. As if for the first time in many years you see yourself in the mirror, for the first time you feel your body, for the first time you see your apartment. Well, or not for the first time, but like long ago, something you had long forgotten. And I am in shock from this. Imagine, in all the movies that accidentally came to me now, everywhere are hints about the fact that you need to remember what you have forgotten. Especially this film “Hook”. As if we were in the world of adults, in the world of pirates, became callous, closed, attached, determined, and now we need to wake up. Now it’s as if we need to remember ourselves as we were in childhood and become like that.

And now I’ll tell you the most interesting thing. The other day I was texting with an acquaintance and I asked him: “So what do you need for happiness, really? What is happiness for you?” And he was busy, couldn’t answer, said: “Listen, let’s do it later.” And I actually wanted to tell him exactly this — that you need to remember yourself at your happiest, how you were, and return to that world. And I wait for him to be free, and a day or two later we’re texting again. I ask him:
