‘I’ve been feeling weird all day.’ Shawn thought while lying down on the hospital bed fully awake. Upon hearing a sound, Shawn’s head shot up. ‘Sounds like someone’s coming, wait, it sounds like more than one person. I’m counting two. Huh, that’s weird, it’s 3:30 in the morning and the nurse already went through here on her rounds half an hour ago, strange.’ Shawn mused surprised.

staring at myself in a mirror and it is devoid of the dream-quality one expects from the images in their brain. In dreams, whenever I see someone who is supposed to be me or someone I have known for years, the face is different, sometimes subtly, other times it is completely different. But in this mirror, in this reflection that comes through in my reverie, it is my face, perfectly so, no blur or changes or oddly shaped parts.

Many people will go through breakups in their lifetime. Even Though these breakups can be extremely hard, and may send people into depression, they can also prepare you for future relationships. In the novel, “The Perks of Being A Wallflower,” many of the characters experience times where they get their heart broken, but they learn from these experiences and prepare themselves for the future.
