Today Was the Day

Part 1

I woke up. The air was warm, sort of like a hug. I opened my eyes and looked out the window. I could see some clouds in the distance but not too many around my flat. I sat up and stretched my arms out. I swung my body around and planted my feet on the ground. my legs ached, but I'm not sure why. the mirror on the other side of my room stared at me. My long black hair seemed like I hadn't brushed it in weeks. I stood up and slowly walked to my window, quietly waking myself with the sunshine on my face. I smiled. the sounds of birds chirping in the trees and children playing at the park filled my ears. there was little trafic since it was sunday. I looked down from my second storey window and took a deep breath. today was the day.
