Once Upon an Imagination
By Andryce Andres / May 2026
Once upon an imagination there lived Something Different. Their friends were Maybe, What If, and I Wonder. They loved to play with all the possibilities that didn’t yet exist. And so their journey began.
They created suns and moons together until one day they discovered rainbows. Rainbows led them to dreaming. Dreaming to wishing. Wishing to building a beautiful rainbow bridge, which connected a single star to those who loved them. Together they discovered new sparkling colors. There was great joy and belonging and a happy heart. Each of those stars went shooting back home, to school, to play dates, and to family gatherings, sharing the colors they received from the rainbow bridge with many other stars. The vibrancy and sparkle rippled through to faraway lands.
Something Different took a deep breath, inhaling blues and golds and exhaling shades never witnessed before. Maybe caught a whiff of nostalgia, a memory caught between sleep and wake. What If felt a sense of calm and knowing because no one was asking why or how. I Wonder pondered it all and closed their eyes to imagine what beauty would follow.
