i walked out of the bedroom silently and shut the door with my phone. i didn't know why, but i had a slight urge to sit down at the balcony. i walked in the dark, with only the moonlight and lights from nearby buildings assisting my vision.

i stepped into the balcony, my feet making small sounds on the tiled floor. i plopped down onto the office chair, lifting my legs up, resting a knee on an armrest. i looked up at the dull, purple, cloudless sky, admiring how still and quiet my surroundings were. a sudden warmth spread through me, starting from my chest and enveloping me. it was a sense of security, of the safety i felt knowing i was safe at home. my face was solemn, thoughts about the future and what it held floating around my mind.

the only sounds i could hear were crickets and distant roars of tires zooming on granite. i could feel the steady rises and falls of my chest, the glasses settled on the bridge of my nose, and my hair that swayed slightly in the soft breeze that blew. i was in the present, in the now, thoughts of the future fleeting even for a moment.
