You░make░your░way░through░the░apartment░to░the░scant░kitchen. The curtains are thin and bits of grey light reflect off the mass of bright but somber clouds. The kitchen is shrouded in this soft glow and for a second your thoughts slow down. It is quiet and calm and you stop thinking about your homework and laundry and all the things that race through your mind nearly every other second of the day while you pad softly to the cupboards and grab your pot. The sink stutters and you have to wait a moment before it spits out water, like always. Glancing in the cupboard, you decide on a box of veggie noddles and pat yourself on the back for this. You don't usually have the money to buy real fruits and vegetables and rarely consume even half as many as you're supposed to. "It's the small victories," you say to yourself. A few minutes later your lunch is ready. You put on a video for ten minutes while you eat to relax a little. Afterward, you feel full and are glad you took care of yourself even if it was only boiling some noodles, a task anyone can do. You know you have to start getting your homework done as soon as you can because you have your internship at the school for two hours at 6 pm. You doubt your ability to get it done later in the night but you are feeling a little overwhelmed thinking about everything you have to get done and this stresses you out. Feeling your shoulders tighten and brow furrow lightly, you know you either need to find the will to power through your homework anyway or do something to calm you down a bit before you start.
