im not sure what you want to do now or in the future, but hopefully these will make you excited and eager to see what's to come :)

- It's 1am. Both you and your partner are wide awake while having your limbs intertwined together. Soundless and still, it feels as if you're the only ones that truly exist. After what seemed like forever, the comfortable silence was shattered by the startling, resonant sound of thunder. Wrapped in the others arms, you flinch slightly only to be grasped tighter. You hear a faint whisper close to your ear. "Don't worry, I'll protect you".

- The awful sound of your alarm clock is a sound you will never get used to. Slowly dragging yourself out of bed trying not to hit the cold wooden floor below, you hear muffled laughter in the other room. Lazily walking towards the noise, you breathe out an inaudible good morning only to see your two roommates and the back of familiar heads. One of your roommates finally notices you're awake and smiles in your direction. "Oh you're up. Isn't this the band you go on and on about? They're excited to meet you."

- 6am. It's a time your 16 year old self would cry over. It meant school. It meant less sleep. It meant facing the world and all the stress it brings. Now you're used to it. Now waking up at this time is relaxing and refreshing. After making up your bed, you pick up a silk rope to wear and make your way towards the kitchen. Never in your life could you imagine owning a home you only dreamt of. But here you are. Never in your life could you imagine actually being the person who ate a complete and healthy breakfast. But here you are, cooking in the kitchen doing exactly that. Never in your life could you imagine doing the job of your dreams and enjoying every second of it. Work starts at 8am. Settling down at your kitchen table, you gather the utensils you need to eat your meal. You roll the sleeves of your robe and take a slight glance at your arms. The scars are faded now, almost invisible. You're here. You've made it.

- You try your best to shade your eyes from the warmth outside the window. The speaker blaring music while your friends sing obnoxiously loud pretending the world around them doesn't exist. You're all on a road trip to who knows where before you go away to college. You're here to make one last memory before the adult world is upon you. Empty bags of food are scattered in the car from the constant stops to the gas station. The song from the playlist was the old song you grew up listening to. Nostalgia clouds your mind as you finally get over the sun in your eyes. You're not sure where you're headed, but eventually you'll get there and that's all that matters.

- Deciding to finish your work somewhere other than the office, you finally make your way to a cafe. You walk past the window of the cafe, yet stop to look at the person you see. Your skin is clear. Your weight is what you want it to be. Your hair is silky and the perfect length. Wrinkles are nowhere to be seen. Your eyes shine bright. You admire the work you've spent on yourself. You're glad you've spent time finding yourself and truly loving the person you eventually found. Of course you aren't perfect and you have flaws the same as everyone else, but that in itself is what makes you perfect.
