Personal Narrative: Sleepwalking

Improved Essays
I had recently woken up and was still in bed. I reached over to grab my pack of Juicy Fruit and pop two pieces in my mouth. I checked my clock and it was 6:00 AM. I noticed my covers were alongside my bed. That's weird, I mean for normal people but I have a tendency for sleepwalking so I guess it’s pretty normal.
“Shoot! Dammit!” I whispered as I remembered my science project was due 1st period.
“Oh no no no, C’mon!” I followed up with after I opened my computer and it started to buzz and whir then stop to a black screen. It’s dead. I had it charging all night. I mean c’mon, stupid school computers never work. I plugged it in and started to immediately jam the keyboard buttons with my fingers, typing in my password. It said “Your password

My house is right off the side of the road so it is easy to get on and off cause I don’t have to walk anywhere. The bus stopped and I walked on, the usual crowd of students were there, the jocks in the back, the girls in front of them and the nerds in the very front. Go ahead take a guess where I sit. If you guessed the front, BINGO! You win a load of absolutely nothing! The good part about sitting in the front is that I don't have to walk past the jocks or the girls. But it’s not even really like i'm a nerd, i’m just none of them. I’m specially normal. The guy that no one likes, but no one hates them if you know what I mean. At least I see myself that way. It’s also not that I don't like other people either, I would do anything to hangout with some of those jocks or girls. Especially this one girl, her name is Rachel. She has beautiful red eyes and gorgeous blond hair that goes down to her shoulders. She’s somewhere behind me talking to one of the many friends she has, talking about me? Nope. I can hear them clearly now and they're talking about Max Gordon. How could I think they were talking about me? Anyways Max Gordon is one of those annoying football/basketball jocks that everyone wants to be and everyone likes. Although anyone that's not even remotely close to being him (like me) hates his guts. Especially cause all the girls like him too. Thats one reason people want to be like him, another is because they don't want to be a loner/nobody. I stare at the gray gum ridden seats ahead of me and listen to the jingle of seatbelts banging against the rough dirty floor. I looked outside watching the no leafed trees pass one by one as we bump down the rocky dirt road. We make a few more stops and then we finally reach the blue and orange colored school. I could hear the mumble of voices in the back

    I can feel the hate in the pit of my stomach, and there is not one part of me that wants to get out of bed this morning. This may sound like I am complaining about a Monday morning, but really, I am talking about waking up with depression. Getting out of bed is more of a task for me than ever this morning and I know that my day will only get worse. But will it? The mindset of a teenager with depression is awfully negative and you never know where your emotions will end up.…

    When I am dreaming, I sometimes am not sure if I am awake or dreaming, but when I am awake I know I am not dreaming. In dreams, I feel like I am not in control of what is happening, I am the observer. I sometimes know I am dreaming because I do things I would not normally do in real life. In dreams, things do not always make sense, like a movie skipping. In real life, this is not the case.…

    On TV, people who sleepwalk generally act like zombies, they stagger along with their arms held stiffly in front of them. In fact, (as you know if you've ever seen one), most sleepwalkers walk around quite normally. They may even perform routine tasks, such as getting dressed or brushing their teeth. Sometimes they talk, although their conversation may not make a lot of sense. Sleepwalking is fairly common behavior.…

    “Nathanial Wake Up!” Were the words that had abruptly woken me up in the middle of math class. I was having the same reoccurring dream for the tenth time this month, I saw myself in the third person being punched over and over again. The ones punching me would be doctors, politicians, teachers, anyone of any occupation would be punching me, almost as if I was a good luck charm. There was also a man tied on a surgical bed, every time I was punched his scars would heal, and his anguish slowly turned to a smile.…

    The last time I truly felt content in my life was when I was in elementary school, before the media implanted this idea of “perfection” in my mind, before I was seen as a geek, before the sole thing that mattered was the number of someone’s followers on Instagram, before I was objectified, before I hated myself. How did I not apprehend this before? Through all of these years, I solely wanted to fit in, but why? Why would I want to suffocate my personality" just to be another face in a sea of stereotypes and uniformity? The friendships I had cultivated and all the things I had done were done under the guise of self-hate, judgment, a prolific persona, a girl who so wrongly desired to be just another face among the faces.…
