I remember when I could look up at the night sky and think, Dang, that's beautiful.
I remember when I was walking in the dark and accidentally punched my brother's face.
I remember when I learned I didn't need to say anything to comfort a friend. All I needed was to be there.
I remember when on Halloween I would pull off pranks, staying still, acting as if I was dead.
I remember when I was human, and had a life. A family, a dream, then a job.
I don't remember how long ago it was, but I was about to start college, so I went off looking for job postings to pay off the loans as I studied. I found a job at a pizzeria, but after that, everything's a little fuzzy.
But the pain and loneliness still remain fresh and vivid in my mind. I can't shake off those memories, no matter how hard I try.
