Petals After the Storm

Low energy

Low energy

Apr 25, 2026

I have returned from, and all I can think of is going straight to my bed and then sleeping. Though I know that's not what I will do. Sleeping is just a waste of time, so I avoid doing that when not needed.

As I enter my house after Anne, my mom is conversing with her best friend since high school. After removing my shoes near the shoe rack, I just drag myself, at this point, to my room and keep my school bag there. My sister is already full of energy and keeps talking about her day.

I change my clothes and keep my empty tiffin in the kitchen, by the sink, and head back to my room. I lie on my bed, staring at the ceiling, into nothingness. 

I blink rapidly for a minute to test if I am truly very sleepy, but I am unable to sleep, so I get up and search for I don't know what in my bag and then take out the biology book. 
Biology is my favourite subject, or I think it is. But no, I don't want to be a doctor. Nor anything related to that field.

I scrumble and open the third chapter, Genetics. I have, though, read it before, but only once, and that obviously won't do for the preparation for my exams. 

I start reading but somehow, reading takes twice the time it usually takes as I keep on zoning out while doing so. And I have to go back the previous paragraph again. 

It's 5.37 already when my mother yells that Nancy has come. I comb my hair and make a bun using the clutcher.
The comb falls from the table as it lost its balance.
I said, "Tch, just stay up there," and kept it at the table again before leaving for a walk with Nancy.

"For them, they might be just ugly scars. For her, they are reminders that she can bear storms and yet, heal again, alone."
Some days feel like sunshine in a teacup, warm and small, just enough to hold in your hands. Other days feel like rainclouds drifting too low. She’s learning to live with both. Once, she thought she had to run to escape herself. Now, she’s learning to stay. She’s the kind of girl who smiles easily, but keeps her thoughts tucked away where no one can reach them. From coffee-stained pages to long walks under orange skies, her days are stitched together with small acts of courage. But between burnt toast, missed buses, and unexpected kindness, she’s starting to realize: maybe life’s not about getting it all together… maybe it’s about enjoying the pieces. She’s healed from storms she doesn’t often speak of, and now she’s simply figuring out how to live again—slowly, gently, and a little clumsily. This is her story, and entirely her own. But more storms often follow storms and she realised that late. Will she be able to adjust to the sunny and stormy days that come one after the other?
