                          FLASHBACK...
   I am cutting into my hand on Choosing Day, the blood running over the gray stones, representing Abnegation. I might be afraid of my father, but Abnegation will always be my home. I also don't have to have a very strong relationship with my father, since I have finally become an adult.
                      FLASHBACK OVER...
   I wake up in my bed, on Tuesday morning, get a quick shower, - to save resources, of course - get dressed into Abnegation grays,go downstairs to breakfast, eggs and wheat toast, typical Abnegation meal- bland. After I finish my breakfast and clean up, I get ready to go to work, I am a volunteer, giving food to the factionless. Sometimes, I feel sorry for them,  because they slipped up once and it cost them, basically, their whole life. I finally get home from a long day of work, I start on dinner, peas and unseasoned chicken, which is considered to be self-indulgent to the Abnegation to have the privileges of tasty food. Before I get in bed, I change into my Abnegation sleepwear, gray, of course. I quickly fall asleep. I have dreamless sleep, like usual. In Abnegation you can't really have an imagination because it is self-indulgent to create and think up illogical things, so you cant really think of anything to dream about when you aren't supposed to have an imagination. I have been doing this for the past 2 years. I have not found a soulmate yet, which is what we call our future spouse here in Abnegation. In other factions you can date, but in Abnegation, you have to do community service with the person you are interested in for at least a month, then maybe- maybe- have dinner with their family and help clean up afterward. I have done that a few times, but there is always something that they do or say that puts me off. In a way, I feel I am being self-indulgent  because I keep picking and choosing, and in Abnegation, ''You get what you get, and don't throw a fit!''
