Mnemonic

In your fingers are flowers which really suit you. But you throw them to the people waving to you from below, as you board your ship. The flowers fall, unneeded. You're embarking on a new life, a new journey. There will be more flowers where you're going.

Picture yourself boarding the ship and letting the flowers slip from your fingers, into the crowd of people waving goodbye.
