Awakening

Writing

I love to exchange letters with friends. Yup, the handwritten kind. It is a moment to relax, unplug from the chaos of daily life and solely focus on the way you feel, putting these on paper and sharing these with a dear friend. With time, you begin to add personal flourishes, like custom made stamps in my case. And then, when you get a reply, it is a little wonderful surprise in your letterbox.

I am also writing in that I am working on my own novel. I don't want to spoil too much yet, but it is a way for me to give my personal life experience form. The form of a story that is fantasy yet feels so real.

"Standing at the edge, I breathed in the thin air deeply through my nose. We were high in the mountains, lightly covered in snow, but it was clear that greenery was beginning to reclaim its territory. Around our mountain, a veil of leaves, pine trees, and grass colored the surface. Unlike less than a week ago, the murmurs of awakened animals echoed in the distance and the lush scent of spring overwhelmed my senses. I glanced back, where I saw my parents standing, their white figures nearly fading into the snow. 'Don't go too far,' I heard them say, without them actually saying a word. A loving warmth radiated from their gaze. I turned around again and glanced at the cliff that had been tempting me all this time. I made myself tall. The caressing fresh breeze, the inviting clear blue sky, the rays of sunlight invigorating me, the urge to embrace the horizon and leave everything behind. How I'd missed this feeling.

Adrenaline surged through my body and my heartbeat quickened. I tensed my muscles and took a deep breath before instinct took over. I knew this feeling intimately. It propelled me to run forward and brave the abyss, let me feel how the wind lifted me, and before I knew it, I was airborn.

… The blaring sound of my alarm startled me out of bed. I struggled to open my eyes. Confused and disoriented, I stared at my hands and the room around me. With a groan, I managed to turn off the alarm. The drowsiness I felt massaged away the last fragments of my vivid, energetic dream from memory."
