You realize that you are awake when you feel like your whole body is killing you.
I don't want to open my eyes again and then find myself that I am still in a coma. I feel like it has been far too long that I have been in my mind that I don't think I can make myself hope that I am really, truly awake.
I don't hear anyone in my room, or unless they are being quiet, I am alone. I decided to really brave the situation and try open my eyes to confirm that I am truly back in my body. The first thing I feel and see is a white light that burns on my retinas.
I grimace and close my eyes but then try to open them again, fluttering, trying to adjust to the light. The room is so bright I think for a second I must be in a white room. But the more my eyes adjust to the light, the more I realise and come into where I am.
