Saturday, 7am. The alarm on my phone goes on - I picked a nice melody this time because the old Samsung Horizons melody gave me heart attacks every time - and I open my eyes. I turn it of and look around me, the sun is shining. I decide to look at my lit Spiderman-socks for a while. After that I stretch my limbs and slowly stand up with my feet touching the cool floor. As I take my first step, a wave of dizziness washes over me, causing me to lose my balance. I grasp the gaming table for support, feeling tingling sensation.

"Low iron, huh?", I say to myself. "Nothing new to be honest."

Suddenly I can feel my muscles strengthen, tightening my whole body. I gain back my power. What is this dominant energy that has been awakened within me, running through my veins?

I decide too look into the mirror and notice a subtle change. I look at my spiderman pyjama-shorts and notice that I have to tighten it because suddenly they are too big. My body fat has dissapeared! I don't remember being so fit. Yes, I do work out, but this is still a big change. I pull up my sleeve to flex with my muscles once again, only to see that they have grown too. I take moment to process all of this.

I'm calm and heading for the bathroom as I hear this dog barking outside of the window. I wonder why it is so loud, so I look outside. To my surprise, there is no dog in my area. The only dog there is, has a destination of around 30 meters. But if so, then how could I hear him from so far away? It's like my acoustic has been enhanced.

"Strange."

I finally enter the bathroom and grab my blue toothbrush. I like the color blue, I cannot imagine a better color for a toothbrush. I brush my teeth and look in the mirror, but only the background was sharp and I am all blurry. I wipe my eyes and now it's the opposite. Do I need to see a doctor? This is too much happening all at one. Finally, I manage to adjust my vision to my likings. I open my hand, expecting the toothbrush to touch the sink...it won't. It's sticking on my hand and now matter how hard I shake it, nothing changes. I get scared.

I shout."WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?"

Then I remember my spider bite from yesterday and calm myself. I decide to take it easy and call my specialist.

I took the call and the only thing they told me to do is to stay calm and practice. PRACTICE? I NEED THIS GONE NOW! I exhale and start to think. Relax Sarah, it's gonna be okay. You can do this.

I decide to stop everything I'm doing and sit down to meditate. I'm calm. I'm relaxed. I am a happy tree.
*dog barking again*
"YOU ARE MAKING IT VERY HARD TO BE A HAPPY TREE!" My brain is like an emotional carousel. Calm then angry then stressed.
Focus Sarah, focus. You can handle this.
I meditate for half an hour and restart my day.
