fresh start
Morning dawns, and my eyelids begin to flutter against my resistance to open them, until i realise it's a free day and let them have their way, lids lifting languidly, focusing briefly on the digital clock of my mobile phone.
It's only 9 am, and i've not wasted much of the day that is starting to unfold in front of me. This makes me smile, and i breathe deeply, absorbing the calm around me, feeling my muscles, which had been tensed for battle, prepared to fight the awakening, release and relax. No worries today. No schedules or deadlines, no stresses or dreads (for now).
Only the simple pleasures of a simple life where creativity, exploration and love await.
Alas, next week is a different story altogether. When my eyes squint in the direction of the blaring, obnoxious alarm, it will be 7:30 in the morning, time to re-enter the railroad, the routine of pre-exams week spent in the library and swimming pool. :)
I'm as ready as i'll ever be. Readier than i was a few days ago, at least.
A little frayed around the edges, but at least a little more myself.
