Nobody says it better than Willy Wonka, in my humble opinion. If you don’t watch at least a smidge of this video, then there’s something wrong with you…

I’m just teasing!

Seriously though, anyone whose ever seen the movie will most likely remember this song.

If anyone were to ask me at this moment, “Wiwohka, where do you come up with all the silly stories, ditties and adventures that you write about?”, I’d say Willy Wonka, for certain!

Why? I’ll try to explain…

Much of my childhood felt like a Quintin Tarentino version of young Charlie, from the movie…

How, then, did I go from that small, frightened and angry little girl, to the me that you see upon these pages? You guessed it… Willy Wonka!

I think that I desperately needed a safe place to rest, both mentally and emotionally, so when I watched Willy Wonka for the first time, I was hooked! Within my imagination, I could still believe that there was good in the world, somewhere…

I began to build a space within my tiny frame, where I could do, be or feel any way I wanted… and no one could take that away from me. In a way, I believe that God used my childlike imagination to preserve my sanity, during the most traumatic of beginnings.

And, somehow, from within that child’s imaginative heart, came the writer you see before you, now.

This is the only way I can express what it’s like to be a kid at heart, at least my version of it…

Always believe in the impossible… I do!

Don’t forget your cookie…
