I entered a cabin which had a very strange vibe to it I didn't know why I felt that but it was very nostalgic.

The receptionist told me to go straight to the room besides the waiting area. I knocked and heard a man saying "yeah! Come in"

The scene inside was pretty different from what I have imagined. What I imagined was a an old aged man with wrinkles on his face and a stiff attitude behind a wooden table but to my surprise a pair of ocean deep blue eyes greeted my presence with an exquisite smile on those pink plush lips which looked like they were soaked in honey a minute ago. His messy brown hair were pulled back by a black hairband but still some hair managed to fall on his forehead.

It was strange that on seeing him I had a sort of déja vú.

He caught me staring and faked a cough which brought me back from my reverie.
"Um hey!! Im Liv. Liv Walker I texted you this afternoon about my appointment"

"Yeah sure you did Liv. Please have a seat" He smiled at me.

I was seated on a sofa in front of his recliner.

"So tell me about you Liv. What do you like,what do you wanna do with life, how is your mental health. Tell me everything" He asked politely smile never leaving his face.

"Umm Dr. Ashton..." And then he interrupted me.

"Call me Ashton no need for formalities ohkay?" He said in his honey dripping voice.

"Ohkay ASHTON so basically I don't know if I'm hallucinating or something but I see things that I shouldn't be seeing and not only I see them!! They have started to affect me physically and I just came here to get a relief from all this shit. I wanna be a normal teenager and live life peacefully and I thought you might me able to help" I said in one breath.

"Woah there young lady easy!! Straight to the point huh? Well I'll do anything In my favor to do the right thing. You don't have to worry about anything Liv. So tell me what are the things you've been seeing?"

"Umm they are sort of personal actually. It's like my past is Messing up with my present and I see no hope of a future!! One minute everything is normal and then the other second everything goes back to the cemetery my life has become. Im losing myself slowly. I'm not what I was and what I'm becoming is definitely not what I want. I have no clue how to get myself back and how to stop my nightmares and those hallucinations"

"Well that's some deep shit" Ashton said with a sigh.

"I know right!! I shouldn't read so many sad posts on Instagram"

"Yeah that's tru... WAIT!! what did you just said?"

"That I shouldn't read so many sad posts?"

"No no before that"

"I know right?"

"No ughhh before that something about nightmares and all"

"Oh yeah ive been having nightmares since quite long and a few days back I had a hallucination and I fell into the pool. But you know? It seemed as if it was all real"

" Dumbass you should have had told bout it to me earlier. What are you on?"

"AYEEE!! First off all you may be a dumbass I'm not ohkay! Aren't psychiatrists suppose to have a good patience AND most importantly I'm not a drug addict!! Have you seen me? I'm FLAWLESS. I would not ruin this beauty for the sakes of being high and feeling numb or whatever" I yelled at him.

" Calm down tigress calm down. I'm sorry ohkay I'm new for all this but hey you might be taking some medicines or something " He said in a low tone trying to calm me down.

I recollected my composure and said "yeah I'm on some antidepressants my last psychiatrist gave me. Here I have the bottle in my bag"

He examined the bottle and threw it in the dustbin "now since these are not working beautiful I'm giving you some other medicines which will help you. If this dosage works then we'll change the course for next month ohkay? Don't worry it will all be alright" He smiled.

I smiled back at him and took the medicines he gave me. I was about to leave when he said "And bout the other problem!! Liv we human are like a music playlist,if you are not liking the genre of the song playing you can always switch to another right? It's all within us and who knows change might become your favorite constant!!"

I nodded while smiling and left. Thinking about the words that he said.

At night I took those pills and went to sleep.

I woke up at 6 in the morning with the sound of my alarm but with no sweat,anxiety and those NIGHTMARES.

I guess the medicines and counselling did work.

I took a long shower and decided to have a TED talk with my audience which consisted of my bottles of shampoos,conditioners, bodywashes etc. "So bottles and containers I take an oath to bring back the personality of mine which I loved, with no pretend, a personality which was carefree. I wasn't a girly girl back then but i sure loved unicorns then too.

I'm too tired of acting like a person I'm not. This Liv brings back the memories of Someone I don't wanna remember. No matter how much I loved that chapter of my life I sure as hell wanna move on to find about the rest of the story MY STORY. And i know my worthy audience will love me then too so lets join aur hands together and bring my old/new personality on..."

"LIV!! I SWEAR TO GOD. If you spent another moment in your bathroom talking to non living things I'm giving a call to the asylum to take you back."yelled the person who claims that i was brought from a grocery store while I was laying in a basket of potatoes.

" What do you mean by back? I was never there in the first place!"

"That's a story for another time. Now wrap yourself up in that pinky unicorn towel of yours that you haven't washed in ages and get ready you are giving me a ride today. My car has a flat tyre"

𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵!!

I said good bye to the audience as they applauded me (technically they

fell down with a thud when I swirled my towel but that's pretty much it)

I decided to wear my one-piece that has a cool chain. "If imma change my personality I've got to change my aesthetic too"

 "If imma change my personality I've got to change my aesthetic too"

I wore heels and not sneakers. I French braided my hair. Applied my liner and mascara with a bb cream and a maroon matt lipstick to go with it and wore a black choker.

I went down stairs as my dad served me the breakfast. "You look like your 2 year old self" He said with a smile. "Well you irritated that one less so.." I said with a smug look.

"Oh shut up. You know that's how I show love" Said my dad.

I dropped my dad to his office and took care that my speed wasn't over 40. When I left him. I revved up my engine and sped it up so that I could produce sparks on the road with my tyres.
