My eyes open wide as the alarm rings, waking me up to face the day. It's been ages since the last time I woke up without any alarms. Unwillingly I drag myself to the bathroom, take a shower and brush my teeth. "It's Sunday but I still have to wake up early!!!!" I mumble to myself. I quickly get dressed and grab a quick bite before rushing out the door.
"I'm always late. When will I ever be organized???" I ask myself while I'm waiting for the bus. I put my earphones in and scroll through my playlists. Just then, the bus arrives and I hop on. Selecting a random track, I glance out the window of the bus aimlessly forcing myself not to doze off. After around 30 minutes, I arrive at my destination and thank the driver. I hop off the bus and continue walking straight towards a small path." Why do I travel so far when I could be sleeping???", I asked myself countless times before I realizing that I have arrived at my destination.
I stop in my tracks and turn to my right. The scene in front of me is mesmerizing. The sky which was dark filled with stars changed to a pink tinge radiating as far as the eyes could see. After a few moments, the sky is filled with a mixture of orange, blue and pink and on the horizon, I could see the sun slowly rising. Powerful waves come crashing into the shore and all I could see was a calm yet powerful sea. There is a gentle breeze which blows my hair away from my face. I quickly take out my phone from my pocket and take a quick picture of the beautiful view in front of me.

At this moment everything feels picture perfect. After taking the picture I slowly make my way back to the bus stop. Each step I take feels heavier than the last one. I feel empty leaving that place but I'm glad I didn't snooze my alarm. I don't do this often but it's just one of those days for me when I want to be by myself, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Why am I doing this you may ask? All I can say is, I am looking for the lost part of me, hoping that someday I'll finally be able to feel whole again. I can't remember when was the last time when I felt like I wasn't hiding behind the perfect image that I had created. It's surreal how no one has found out about my hidden side yet. In a way, I guess I don't want people to find out my vulnerable side and break through my shell.
Suddenly, my phone starts to vibrate disrupting train of thoughts. I take it out to check the notification and smile faintly as I read the text:
" Please come back soon !!!"
"Yep. I'll be home soon."
No one knows this secret that I've hidden for so long and I hope to keep it that way........
A/N: Hello, this is my first time writing so I'm sorry if it was weird. I just had a bunch of random thoughts that I wanted to express. Here's the link to the pictures:
