Listen to this while reading for the best shared experience of

My Room,

a coming-of-age piece

My room gives me the comfort

I need to step out of my comfort zone:

"I just wanna lieee down, next to you."

- Tom Rosenthal, "Buried the Day"

comfortable ambience, a bird calls while

dewy milky sunlight streaks through the crowns of royal nature, spying through the cracks of the sturdy plastic blinds

restoration from the soft humane breeze that cleans away the heart, mind, body

with one fresh wipe.

"You haven't been good for long Is it the sound of your own thoughts That always keep you up at night? Maybe it's time to say goodbye 'Cause I'm getting pretty f****** tired"

- beabdoobee, "Tired"

reflecting on life hours past bedtime

staring out into the vast night

like there's no end to the world,

like everything will be new

like you will see the start of possibilities

but never the end

just like how you are really truly

looking out into the night

like you have never before.

who needs sleep When you have jewels to consider?

"'Cause theres power

And peace in

The life you

Are living...

You're a dreamer

A wonder

The lightning

The thunder

The one and the other"

- Rose Brokenshire, "Dreamer"

I can't live like this anymore.

"Getting by's so boring...

Take your time, enjoy it

Every fleeting moment

Getting by's so boring"

- mxmtoon, "fever dream"

"But beauty lies in startin' something new" "Life's a losing game when you don't

play"

- Petey, "Little Habits" - mxmtoon, "fever dream"

Reader, may you find beauty in letting go and throwing away your old life. Although risky and threatening, it is the only way for creating your new life. May you find strength and happiness from stepping out of your comfort zone.

"

Or so, that's what my room taught me.
