Ding! I opened my eyes and read the text message. I was not sure if I was still dreaming or if that was real; my eyes were half closed and half opened. I had my phone in one hand, and the other hand was under my pillow. Have you ever thought of the value and pleasure of morning texts? Was it real though? Between the illusion and reality, I was able to read on the phone’s bright screen. Words were blurry, yet I tried to focus and recite them in my heart. A smile appeared on my face effortlessly. Despite how sleepy I was, I felt some kind of energy that flew through my body. But the same question popped up in my head again, was it real though? I hope it’s not. I felt a sudden heaviness on my chest: “What if they are pseudo words?” I flipped my body to other side facing the wall. Then here comes my inner voice again: “I think you should respond.” But I cannot think of anything worth sending! The voice kept coming back while I started touching the screen’s keypad. It’s chasing me! Letter after the other, space, a full word, then space, exclamation mark,….etc. Is this real again? “Just type and hit the send button!” OKAY OKAY! An emoji here, an expression there, and….. Wait!
What is this noise?! Lalalalaalaaa. I suddenly woke up while the phone was in my hand. Oh no, the alarm’s screen says 8:00a.m. I better hurry up!
