You awaken at dawn to the soft light filtering through the sheer curtains, enveloping your small-town bedroom in a warm glow. Your parents have been discussing a move to a bustling new city, and the decision is now resting on your thoughts.

Your parents are asleep peacefully, and you were pressured to share your decision before the family breakfast at 8 am. Will you seize the early morning to think of your response or a few more hours of sleep?

You reach for your phone, its familiar weight in your hand. Opening the front-facing camera, you peer at your reflection, observing the subtle imperfections of your appearance, just like anyone else, despite even the beautiful.
