After dinner, I straight away went to bed. It was the first night in days, when I slept peacefully without any weird nightmares. I felt a new jolt of confidence and strength when I woke up the next morning. I stretched my arms out and sat on the bed for a few more minutes staring outside the window. It was still raining heavily. Last night the rain settled to a faint drizzle when I went to sleep but now it was raining excessively as if the clouds rejuvenated themselves while I was sleeping. The pitter patter noise of the rain continued in the background as I began to get ready for school.
When I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I smiled to find the dark purplish circles under my eyes were gone. My eyes sparkled with an aquamarine tint. And my skin wasn't dull as it had been in the recent days. It made me happier. If I was being honest with myself, I knew the real reason I was happy was because I had finally made some progress on finding answers.
