A Picture Worth A Thousand Words: Freedom

Waking up is always one of the hardest things to do in a day for Nora.

Lying on her bed right now imagining how she was going to begin the day's activities knowing very well that she had a lot to do and accomplish. Also knowing that eventually she had to get up and do what she is supposed to do whether she likes it or not.

So finally, she gets up sluggish after much hesitation. She moves to her bedroom balcony and stares at the still rising sun. It is still around 5 in the morning and she loves watching the sun rise.

Looking at the sunrise she sees how beautiful and innocent the world is without the noise of the people in it. Today, she decided that after work she will go to her secret hiding spot.

She leaves the balcony and begins her normal morning routine, after that she goes to work.

She works at a bookstore, where she is the bookseller. She attends to a lot of customers in a day and sometimes they can get frustrating but she tries her best to put on a lovely smile in front of all of them. She also loves reading books and sitting around a lot of them gives her peace of mind plus it pays generously well.

So she loves her job on days when she doesn't feel like the customers are out to get her. She reaches her work place and opens her bag to get her keys. After she opens the door and drops her bag on her desk, she moves to keep things in order starting from her boss's office to dusting the books on the shelf to arranging her desk.

She is ready for the day, hoping and praying that it goes smoothly. After 5 minutes her boss comes through the front door with his bag and a cup of coffee,"Good morning Mr. Frank." Nora greets as he passes by. "Good morning Nora, how was your night?" he asks as he looks her way.

"It was fine sir," she answers him with a smile. He makes his way to his office, when he shuts his door behind him she takes her seat.

And like that the day goes and is over by 5pm, the day comes to an end quickly as it is already time to leave. So she begins packing her things in preparation to go home.

When she is done, she makes sure that all the lights are off and she locks the door behind me as she is the last to leave the building.

It doesn't take long to reach her house since it is around the corner. As she reaches the house she freshens up, having in mind that she has to go to her hiding spot, but before that she has to eat so she makes an order for noodles.

5 minutes and it has arrived. She goes to the door to receive it, she thanks the delivery man and goes in to eat.

It's time to go out so she puts on her coat, turns off all my lights and heads out after making sure she locks the doors well.

It's like a 3 minute walk so it doesn't take a long time for her to reach. She is here, it's a very big quiet ocean with lots of light. She takes off her coat, lays it on the ground and decides to take a swim.

Oh, the water is cold but it's also in a way sorting. Going deeper she lets the wave carry her and she is laying on it enjoying the quiet atmosphere with nothing on her mind but the feeling of freedom.

Life feels so easy and stress free as she lays here. Sometimes all you need is a place to ease out all your worries and stress for the day to feel OK.
