I look up at my bedroom's ceiling, as I lie on my bed, and as I try to accept the fact that I have turned eighteen today.

I am not so happy about it, I mean, eighteen years gone just like that.

I sigh before getting out of bed and straight into the shower. I've gotten so used to this routine that I'm living to the point where it doesn't bother me anymore, to the point where my body is moving by itself, doing the actions I'm used to doing everyday.

I go inside my bathroom and get unclothed. God, even my pajamas aren't of my choice.
