23

As I began to gain my consciousness, I raised my heavy eyelids half way only for them to fall shut. I wrapped myself inside my duvet, waves of nausea coupled with my now increasing headache made me feel like a truck ran over me. I turned to my side, reeling in all the events of last night and I internally shook.

The aching in my head felt like my brain was inside a balloon being inflated with pressure. I slowly sat up despite the pain in my head that felt like I was carrying a ton of stones. Now I know why it’s called a hangover.

As soon as my legs hit the ground as if on impulse, all that I took came up my throat and I immediately ran to the bathroom and poured out my insides. I held my hair up and vomited till there was nothing left in me.

I made my way to the sink and I splash cold water on my face just to feel something refreshing and instantly wish I could wash the pain in my head too. The mirror shows my tired looking eyes, the earlier need to get loose, gone.
