Alexander :
You’re just laying in bed at home, staring at the ceiling, feeling tired in a way that’s deeper than just being sleepy. Your head is heavy, your body feels slow, and even your thoughts come and go like they don’t want to stay too long.
Meanwhile, outside your room, the world is just… going on.
People are waking up, going to school or work, walking past each other, talking, laughing, living their normal lives like nothing’s different. Cars are passing by, conversations are happening, someone somewhere is probably having the best moment of their day right now.
And your friends? They’re out there too. Texting, making plans, sending memes, joking around in a group chat you haven’t really looked at because you just don’t have the energy. They’re still living their lives, doing the things you usually do with them.
Even your crush.
They’re out there, living their life too. Smiling at something, talking to someone, going about their day completely unaware that you’re here, lying in bed thinking about them while feeling too sick to even get up properly. They don’t know, and they don’t pause. They just keep going, just like everyone else.
And you’re just… here.
