She - Beginning

Beginning

It is the first moment she is truly conscious, it is as if she has opened her eyes after a long, deep slumber. It is a strange feeling, but she feels refreshed. She now has the ability to think, and the first thing she notices with this power is the steady beating she hears. That sound resonates inside her, the strong, unwavering beat. The sound brings her a sense of peace and even though there is darkness around her she feels the warm glow of light. Then she notices the fact that she can think, her first question to herself is “Who am I?” She cannot come up with an answer, but that doesn’t bother her in the least. She has too many other thoughts to come up with. She will get her answer to that question in time.

Does she know that this very question will haunt her, her entire life? It will become the driving force of everything she does. She will always be looking for an answer to satisfy her thirst. Does she know that as she grows and matures, she will experience different things that will change who she is? If only she had satisfied herself with some answer, any answer is better than none. But at that point in time, she has no clue of what awaits and is blissfully unaware of what she has done to herself. She allows the beating to carry her back to sleep, she knows she is safe. She can sense it. And so starts her life. Whether she is ready to live it or not, it has begun.
