What would you tell your younger self? If hindsight is 20/20 [clearest] vision and precious memories are stored in our brain within the crevices [our personal Chinese Thread Book], would unfolding pathways be like opening a zhen xian bao? Which petals reveal instinctive personality traits? Which crease releases a broken path? The protagonist is pulled onto a yellow brick path, their future self a bricklayer building the road leading toward a secret emerald city. However, rather than a journey to the past, reflecting, rumination, and vindicated validation, there is the current protagonist's point of view. Her decision-making still impacts the folding of the treasure map. Her choices bend the [if-this-what-now] into the [because-of-resulted-in]. The storyline is delightfully reminiscent of [Squid Games]. Each step forward, the day the hibiscus bloomed, waiting, blindfolded, holding a stranger's hand, and playing Simon Says. Does being in the future know the past to create our moment of enlightenment? What is the concept of wealth and prosperity at infancy? At childhood? At parenthood? If you could raise your younger self using lessons learned from your future life choices, how would you navigate your labyrinth? Which carrots would you dangle and which rod would you hold? Just how does the enlightened find wholeness? Is it really just as simple as accepting a text message? Which Hot Noodles [phone-a-friend lifeline], tossed or fried, is your intricately folded Thread Box holding? Your life is your empty vessel. The bountiful table is set. Are you really ready to feast?
