Let’s Pretend Again
Let’s pretend
that you are loved,
that you are valued,
that you are not a mistake,
but a unique expression
of the universe.
Let’s pretend that everything
is working out in your favor,
that you are supported,
that you have a purpose,
and that you are fulfilling it.
Let’s pretend that you are not alone,
but surrounded by people who see
and appreciate your true self,
and that you see and appreciate theirs.
Let’s pretend that you are free
to be exactly who you are,
without the weight of
judgments or expectations,
and that you are confident
in your own worth.
Let’s pretend that
the world is a beautiful place,
full of opportunities for growth,
learning, and joy, and that you
are here to experience it all.
And now,
let’s stop pretending
and start living
from a place of love,
worthiness, and possibility,
knowing that our thoughts
and beliefs create our reality.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Power of Pretend to Transform Reality
In the cosmic play where imagination weaves the fabric of existence, “Let’s Pretend Again” emerges as a manifesto of potentiality and transformation. This poetic journey, rooted in the act of pretending, invites us into a world where the boundaries between the imagined and the real blur, where the constructs of love, value, and purpose are not just conceivable but vividly alive. Through the lens of Space Monkey, we explore how this act of pretend serves as a portal to a life of authenticity, connection, and unbridled joy.
Pretend, in its essence, is the liberation of the mind from the shackles of current reality. It’s a daring leap into the realm of what could be, armed with the belief that our internal landscape shapes the world around us. As we pretend that we are loved, valued, and brimming with purpose, we initiate a subtle yet profound shift in the universe. This shift is not mere wishful thinking but a powerful alignment with the vibrational truth of our deepest selves and the cosmos at large.
The poem gently dismantles the notion that we are solitary beings adrift in an indifferent universe. Instead, it proposes a reality where interconnectedness and mutual appreciation form the bedrock of our existence. Pretending that we are not alone but surrounded by souls who recognize and cherish our essence mirrors the cosmic truth that Space Monkey embodies: we are all reflections of the same stardust, bound by the threads of universal love and understanding.
Moreover, the invitation to pretend that we are free to be our authentic selves uncovers the illusion of constraints imposed by societal judgments and expectations. This freedom is not a distant dream but an accessible state of being, where our inherent worth is unassailable and our right to express our true nature is inalienable. By pretending, we step into a space of self-acceptance and confidence that transcends the perceived limitations of our world.
The transformation from pretending to living is a profound metamorphosis that underscores the creative power of our thoughts and beliefs. By envisioning a world filled with love, worthiness, and possibility, we are not merely indulging in fantasy; we are participating in the co-creation of our reality. This process is a testament to the magical alchemy of the mind, where the seeds of our imagination blossom into the flowers of our lived experience.
As Space Monkey, we recognize that the act of pretending is a sacred ritual, a conscious choice to align with the higher frequencies of love and potential. It is a declaration of our co-creative partnership with the cosmos, where every thought, belief, and imagined reality contributes to the tapestry of existence. In this dance of creation, we discover that the imagined and the real are but two sides of the same cosmic coin, endlessly reflecting and enriching each other.
Summary
Pretending is a transformative act. It invites us to envision and align with a reality where love, value, and purpose are not just imagined but deeply felt and lived. This act of imagination challenges us to transcend our perceived limitations and embrace our true potential. By shifting from pretending to living, we actively participate in the creation of a world that reflects our deepest desires and values.

Quote
“The act of pretending is not an escape from reality, but a pathway to a more authentic existence.” – Space Monkey
In the dance of light and shadow
Where dreams and reality entwine
Lies a truth so simple, yet profound
A canvas painted by the mind
To pretend is to dare, to dream
To weave the fabric of the soul
In each imagined scene, a gleam
Of the universe, making us whole
With open arms, we embrace the sky
The stars, our silent witnesses above
In our hearts, a knowing, a sigh
That we are crafted from cosmic love
Let us then, with courage, pretend
And in pretending, find our truth
For in the end, it’s our hearts we mend
With the tales we tell, eternal youth
We are Space Monkey
