I get up in the midsummer and watch the sun rise with a fresh cup of tea. Put on some jeans and a shirt with my black boots on. My boots are worn out and repaired a dozen times and look real bad but they make me feel right at home!

I take my rings and my watch, my necklace and my bracelet and put them on. They make me feel confident.

I finish up my tea and the piece of cake I got from the cabinet before I changed. I put my cup in the sink with the spoon still in it. I can never enjoy a cup of tea fully unless the spoon is still in the cup while I'm drinking it.

I get a hold of my long coat, even though I know I will not need it I still drape it over my arm as I get my keys out of its pocket. I pick up my phone and my wallet from the table next to my bed.

Walk out the door, just shut the door behind me, not locking it.

As I step outside I hear the birds tsjirp and the flowers bloom. A perfume overwhelms me with the sensation that life is never gonna be any better than this moment right now.

I get in my car, lock the door. Put my phone in the holder, select my music while I open the glove compartiment and get my sunglasses. I put them on while the music slowly fades in to my world.

Now I am invincible! Once I put on my shades there is a new me. An improved version of me. A greater person than I could ever be on my own. This is the me the world knows.

I turn on the ignition, drive away. Never to come back again!

This is the day I long for for almost 10 years now. Hoping for this day to come is sometimes the only thing that keeps me going. Hope this day comes soon!!
