How To Leave Paje

It starts rather innocent. You find it very rewarding. Is it Tuesday or Wednesday? You allow yourself to be confused and you compliment your transformation skills.  

After a while you find yourself surprised by the fact that it is Wednesday and not Sunday. There is nothing wrong with that. 

Soon enough more symptoms shall kick in.  Are you checking the soon to be taken flight and you are amazed by the fact that it keeps on showing the same date? Can you actually place this date on the timeline scale?  Are you forgetting  names, faces, events and past conversations? Does your vague state grow merry and wild? Your friend notifies that it is rather difficult to communicate with you as you seem to be missing on substantial chunks of the conversation? Is your pedicure only a mere recollection of what it should be? Do you find yourself mostly troubled by the mystery of sand’s magnificent ability to melt with the nail polish?

If you have observed at least three of the above symptoms it means that you got yourself a beautiful, full grown Paje brain.

It might be the time for you to leave.

But how to leave Paje?
Here’s  a quintessential guide.

1. Forget to extend your accommodation. Having no place to stay will be the first step.
2. Have a factual proof of your presence being required in the material world – a flight ticket, a booking, a visa restriction.
3. Make sure all the people you have met so far are long gone. Witnessing the fifth wave of arrivals will most likely give you a helping hint in thinking of doing as they did.
4. Listen to stories of people who actually spent some time in other places and went outside Paje.
5. Make sure you run out of money and spend your time excessively. Going 150% over your daily budget will force you to think of the world outside.
6. Make sure you will be back. It enhances the ability to leave. Main reason being – you know it is just for a little while.

With all the above ticked off I have made it. But I am coming back.
