I woke up the next morning, and it felt like I didn't exist. I knew I was physically in my bed, feeling the cool sheets against my hot body, but I was just an observer. I could see the sun, streaking bright through the windows, birds chirping loudly outside – the world would always continue, no matter what anyone felt inside. My eyes felt swollen, eyelids even puffier from crying last night. I'm not sure when I stopped. I pressed my fingers to my face, brushing my eyes. I am certain I had stopped then.
There was a mason jar reflecting light next to my bed, full of water with a note stuck to the glass. There were no words, only a simple drawing of a heart. I bet Klara left it for me. I was so grateful to have her here in all of this. Really, I should have known better than to let myself to fall for someone here. I should have devoted my energy into my friends and feeling better. It was probably karma. Then again, it felt like the universe was always punishing me.
I allowed myself to really think about my depression for the first time since getting here. It felt like I had been running a marathon, for a very long time. I think I was ready to take some rest now. The sadness from Isaac's departure only added to my existing feelings, and they were slowly sinking in my chest. Maybe it was time to accept that I was not okay.
