Stars, hide your fires: Let not light see my black and deep desires.
~William Shakespeare
I woke up after a much needed beauty sleep. I stretched then turned around to see the other side empty.

I was feeling suffocated by this darkness I wanted light. I quickly went to the curtains and opened them without wasting a moment.
Instantly the warm rays of the sun hit my skin and the room was bright with the natural light. I smiled feeling that I can breathe now.I hated it when mom used to wake me up like this she would come in my room and open the curtains all the way making the light hit my face directly, but now I realize how important this natural light is.
