Sitting on the bed with my laptop, looking outside of the window,I stared at the picturesque sight of the tall mountains infront of me. The way the clouds hugged the mountains creating transparency, I gazed on them.

The warm sunlight fell on my face and I took it all in. I took the comfort this place provided me with,the blur it created for me in deciphering what's my reality and my dream.

This place has given me an escape I so longed for.

My gaze shifts from the magistic scenery to my laptop's screen which was hauntingly staring back at me.

The E-mail stared back at me and I could do nothing but feel myself losing each second.

My passion,my dreams and my ambitions.

Two years ago, I sat on my desk placed in my bedroom with this same laptop placed infront of me. But unlike now, I was typing my imagination out. I was writing a story. Creating my own realm.

And with the adrenaline rushing through me, I had already texted a publisher about my book. They loved my book.

I was over the moon. My first ever book was going to be published. I couldn't believe it. Until everything wasn't real anymore. Until everything shattered.

Now, the publisher has again reached out to me asking me if im finally ready to publish my book.

Was I ready to let myself go?

The dream I had seen for myself, the future I had choosen for myself ever since I understood that I can give words to my imagination, I can make them alive,seemed like a fever dream. Something I had made up entirely.

There's a knock on my door but my eyes stare at the screen continously,

Between whom I want to be and whom I should be,

Which one should I choose?

Myself or that version of myself which they had chosen for me?

My door opens and my eyes finally leave the haunting screen, a smile make it's way as I see my best friend peeping his head through the door of my room,

"Hi." He grinned,

"Hi." I smiled and he opened the door entirely and took a step inside,

"Are you hungry? I've made something for you. Well, Siara helped me too."

Even if he had asked me to run a marathon right now, I would've said yes.

Anything to make me stay away from this. To not make me think about this.

I nod my head and get up from the bed,making my way outside the door with him, I asked,

"What have you made for me?"
