It’s 4am. You got out of bed to prepare for school. Before you took a bath, you opened the tv. MTV’s on and it’s playing Thousand Miles. You’re in between sluggish and rushing; sick of the routine but comforted by it too.

It’s 2am. You’re on your way home from an after-party drink. It’s getting cold on the streets. You wonder how you’ll wake up early tomorrow. Car passes by with Lorde on blast. The city is half asleep and you roam the almost empty streets feeling it ws the best night of your life. You don’t wanna go home yet. You don’t wanna see the light of morning until you’ve cherished the feeling of being young, drunk and happy.

It’s 10:30pm. It’s raining hard outside. Lights flicker. Wind blew. You held your hot cup of coffee thinking about your first month of working. You just wish you have someone to get through the night with. Admist the storm. Admist the passing time.

It’s 12:37am. You opened your eyes and adjusted your eyes in the dark. You can hear someone singing in the karaoke bar few blocks away from your apartment. You imagine you’re back home. The warmth of a complete family. The bark of your best friend pet. The comforting dish your mom makes every Sunday lunch. Where are you? What happened? Why does it feel so far away from now?
