Waking up this morning, I realized I didn't have anything interesting planned for the day aside from returning home.
The sunlight slipped through the flimsy hotel curtains, gently nudging me awake. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, letting the silence wash over me. Sometimes, it feels like the world is moving too fast, and all I want is to hit the pause button for a while.
I eventually pushed myself out of bed, my body feeling heavy and sluggish. The kitchenette in the corner provided a small sense of routine. I made myself a quick breakfast, something simple to get me going like fried rice with eggs. The smell of food filled the room, offering a little comfort.
Life at fifteen is anything but straightforward. I've built this weird rough persona around myself, keeping others at a distance. It feels safer that way. But, I'm just as confused and vulnerable as anyone else, trying to figure everything out without letting anyone see the cracks. I often wonder if people notice it, or if they only see this facade I've put up.
With my breakfast in hand, I moved to the window. Watching the world wake up while staying behind my barrier gave me a strange sense of comfort. These quiet moments are like a brief escape from the chaos. A chance to breathe without the weight of expectations pressing down on me.
The future is a big unknown, filled with possibilities and fears. It's like standing on the edge of a cliff, looking out at a landscape you can't fully see. But for now, I'm just trying to get through today. This peaceful morning feels like a temporary reprieve from everything I carry.
No big plans, no major decisions—just the small, everyday things that make life feel a bit more stable.
I wonder if anyone else feels this way, or if it's just me. Considering how big the world is probably some other people feels this way too and i would love to know how they deal with their life.
As I ate, I got lost in the moment. The taste of the food, the warmth in my hands, the view from the window—it's these small, quiet moments that offer a bit of clarity, reminding me to just let go of the stress even for a moment.
The sun climbed higher, signaling it was time to move. I finished my meal, feeling the familiar weight of the day ahead. Packing my bag, I braced myself. Today, I was heading home. After weeks of drifting, the idea of going back to something familiar felt like a lifeline. It might not solve everything, but it's a start.
Life is unpredictable. It throws you around, leaves you guessing and all you can do is guess and think you are in the right path.
Stepping out of the hotel room, I felt a mix of excitement and boredom. Ready or not, here comes another day. Sometimes, I wonder if i should just abandoned all of this feeling on self security and just live a lose life making out the day.
The walk to the station was a blur of thoughts and passing faces. People rushing to their destinations, each lost in their own world. I wondered what their stories were, if they had their own struggles and dreams hidden beneath the surface. It's funny how we can be surrounded by so many people, yet feel so alone.
On the bus, I found a seat by the window and watched the cityscape roll by. Buildings, parks, streets—each with its own story, its own history. It made me think about my own journey, the path that led me here. It felt like I was just going through the motions, trying to make sense of it all.
And their is my motion sickness hitting me like a truck once again.
Returning home felt strange, like stepping into a different reality. The familiarity was comforting, but it also brought back memories I'd tried to escape. Family, school, friends—everything I'd left behind. But maybe facing it all head-on was the only way to move forward.
Walking through the front door, I took a deep breath. The house was quiet, a stark contrast to the noise and bustle of the city. It felt surreal, like stepping back into a life that had been on pause. I dropped my bag by the door and headed to my room, needing a moment to collect my thoughts.
The familiar scent of home. I sat on the bed, letting the memories wash over me. It was both comforting and overwhelming, a mix of emotions I couldn't quite put into words.
Staring at the ceiling, I thought about the future. There were so many unknowns, so many paths I could take. But for now, I was here, in this moment. Maybe it wasn't perfect, but it was real. And sometimes, that's enough.
