Petals After the Storm

SORRYs

SORRYs

Apr 28, 2026


I love scrolling Pinterest. It makes me feel normal, like there are a lot of people like me out there. Too realtable sometimes that I end up saving too many pins though I know I am never gonna look at them again. And then, pops a pin that catches my eye.

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE APOLOGIZING TO EVERYONE FOR BEING IN THEIR LIVES.

And another followed.

I AM TRULY THANKFUL THAT YOU CAME IN MY LIFE BUT I AM SORRY FOR COMING IN YOUR LIFE.

 

My throat tighten and breaths fall short. I comment on the former, "Just going apologize to all my friends now."

I quickly open my Instagram account and then I remember I once asked my male friend, Aven, if he had proof that he really was a boy in front of everyone just to look cool. Ugh! Why do I always annoy everyone? He must've been holding a grudge against me. I choose the  don’t save option and open my chat with Shelly then send-

Uhm, hi, I have noticed that you have been looking down for quite some time now. Listen, I am sorry if I have hurt you by chance someday. I am sorry. I never mean to hurt you. Never. Please just know it was unintentional if I did.

Then I open my chat with Hannah and send her-

Hey, Hannah. If I have ever hurt by mistake then please forgive me.

Then reply on Ashley's note which said that even her WBCs can't save her now, "Hey, you okay?"

I open Nancy's chat and send-

If I have ever hurt you then just know it was purely unintentional and that I am sorry for it.

Then Aven-

Hey, I am sorry Aven if I have ever hurt you in any way or in a joke. Just know it was never my intention.

He immediately replied me back. Hah, perks of having a personal phone.

What is up with u suddenly?

I replied-

Nothing just ur weirdo friend apologizing for just-in-case made mistakes.

Another message flicked-

You really are weird

Btw, I have a friend who is interested in you

I don’t want to seem presumptuous so I'll just play fool and say-

 I am no piece of art

Unless you mean smth else

He said-

I mean, yk, teenage crush

I answered-

Oh! Who?

Though I am not interested in knowing who he is but I remember mother always gets angry on me for not inquiring into things properly (obviously I won't tell her about this) so I asked. Anyway, I know he's not gonna tell me.

He sent a reply-

cant tell, yk, cuz there are a few reasons

I answer back-

Ohk, btw when r are exams starting in ur school?

I don’t care about this useless shit, I can't believe people are still getting crushes. If crushes don’t end within a couple of days then I haven't got one for 3 years now. I have literally had just 2 crushes, man. But I guess the old me would have been really interested in this stuff. Maybe she would have even texted Shelly and Nancy about it. Have I really changed or I simply aren't interested in such things anymore?

Another message came-

-In 5 days. U didn’t have to remind

of those though

-Haha, you gotta study then bro

He sent a reel, I reacted. I sent a reel, he reacted. Then I log out instagram.

I feel a bit light now. Maybe because these emotions had been weighing me down without me knowing. Not that I have been feeling like myself vividly, lately.

"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?
