One day, she discovered a magical globe that opened a gateway to an extraordinary journey around the world. On her journey, Shayna stood on glowing glaciers in Iceland, ran across pink-orange sand dunes in Australia, and marveled at colorful floating islands in Peru. She walked the Avenue of the Baobabs in Madagascar, sailed through the sparkling canyons of Lake Powell in the United States, and was amazed by the Northern Lights in Norway and a volcanic eruption in Ethiopia. Shayna also explored the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, where red sandstone walls glowed in the morning light, wandered through the vibrant Rainbow Mountains of Peru, and visited the Blue Cave in Malta, where azure waters sparkled in the sun.

1. The Birth of a Tail (Start) Start with a short, meaningless tail at first. The tail symbolizes "anxiety in me," setting it to begin with a little childhood fear or anxious feelings. The short tail gradually turns into something that bothers me. Example: "At first the tail was small and cute. No one cared, and I thought so. But over time the tail turned long, heavy and sharp, eating the fear and anxiety inside me." 2. the growth of anxiety (in the middle) As the tail eats through my experiences and trauma(eg not being able to meet my parents expectations or my parents fighting and almost devours, mom gaslighting me), it gets longer more complicated. Tails cover me or follow me and bully me. There are disturbing figures sprouting from the tail, or the tail tying me up. Example: "The tail remembered all the hurt and trauma I went through. The bullying at school, the fear of failure, and the moments when I couldn't accept myself. All these memories made the tail heavy and long." 3. a confrontation with the tail (the climax) The moment I realize that the tail is part of me. I want to take the tail off, but it's already completely stuck as part of my body. The more I try to get rid of the tail, the stronger it reacts and harasses me. Example: "I tried to pull the tail off. But it was my flesh and bone. I couldn't pull it off, but rather the tail tightened me even more. The more I fought to get rid of the tail, the more and more I was tied to it. Endless Anxiety: A tragic ending with a tail growing endlessly and completely covering me. Example: "I eventually decided to talk to the tail face to face. 'You are a part of me. But I can control you.' At that moment the tail stopped little by little, and became lighter." Or: "The tail grew endlessly. My memory, anxiety, pain couldn't stop the tail. And I ended up being swallowed by the tail."

Op een avond ging Sterre naar bed, moe van een drukke dag. Maar midden in de nacht werd zij wakker van een vreemd geluid. Het leek alsof de lucht buiten fluisterde. Toen zij uit bed stapte, vond hij zichzelf niet in zijn slaapkamer, maar voor een groot, magisch kasteel dat glinsterde onder het maanlicht. "Welkom, Sterre!" zei een vriendelijke stem. Het was een magische uil. "Het koninkrijk heeft je hulp nodig!" Ze vlogen samen naar binnen, waar de muren van het kasteel spraken en de trappen leken te bewegen. In het kasteel was er paniek. De schaduwen dreigden het koninkrijk te overnemen en alles in duisternis te hullen. Sterre besloot te helpen. Met de uil aan haar zijde en een magisch zwaard in zijn hand, vocht Sterre tegen de schaduwen. Zij zwaaide het zwaard en met elke slag verdween een stukje duisternis. Na een grote strijd was het kasteel gered. De lucht klaarde op en de sterren straalden helderder dan ooit. "Dank je wel, Sterre," zei de uil. "Je hebt het koninkrijk gered!" Maar toen Sterre om zich heen keek, werd alles wazig. Het kasteel vervaagde en zij voelde zich weer in zijn bed. Zij opende zijn ogen en vond zichzelf terug in zijn kamer. Het was allemaal een droom… of was het dat toch? Op haar nachtkastje lag een schudbol met een kasteel daarin, precies zoals het kasteel uit zijn droom. "Misschien was het geen droom" dacht Sterre, terwijl zij glimlachte en zijn ogen sloot, klaar om weer in slaap te vallen.
