I was shell-shocked to see my young face that prove what I’ve thought of as just a dream; something impossible. This is unimaginable.

“Dawn, are you done?”, my mother shouted downstairs.

“I’ll be done in 10 minutes,” I answered back. I lightly patted my face to wake myself up. I hurriedly started brushing my teeth and took a bath after. After that, I opened the bathroom door and walked towards my cabinet to choose what to wear.

I chose to go with a white long-sleeved blouse and paired it up with a high-waisted jeans. I hurriedly paced back and forth inside my room to dress myself.

As I finished combing my hair, I looked for the place where a clock should have been inside my room. When I found it, I looked at it for awhile and then looked in the mirror in front of me.

I looked at this younger face of myself and sighed.

“Okay, this is something like a fantasy. Something unbelievable. Something impossible. I know it”, I said loudly. I pinched my arms hard.

“But, this is neither a dream nor a fantasy. This was your past. Just like the pain you felt as you pinched your arms, this is your reality right now. So, even if it sounds crazy, you need to believe it. Accept this as your second chance. This time, make wise choices.”

I smiled to my reflection in the mirror. I then, walked towards my bed and picked up my bag. I started walking out the door of my room.
