Imagine this…
You were fourteen when your whole life changed forever, literally. Cliche I know, but in all honest, what if one day everythings the same as it’s always been for you: you wake up, go to school, come home, fall asleep, and the process starts all over again... but then the next morning all you’ve known and learned has just completely disappeared. Everything you've believed in and been taught just... vanishes.
What would you do? What could you do?
The past? What use to be? It was all erased from your memory.
Amnesia.
Could you handle that? Handle suddenly waking up and not remembering who you were? Who you use to be? Who you love?
Could you imagine not knowing anything anymore? Or anyone?
It was plain and simple: you wouldn't have the slightest idea what happened to you in the last few months. Could you live with the thought of having to basically start your life over? Having to relearn everyones name or mentally try to remember events in your life when your mind is trying to push you out? Of being clueless?
Ya neither could I… and I suffered having amnesia for a long while.
But I wasn’t terrified, or upset.
I didn’t know who I was, therefore I didn’t care about the feelings of those that I tended to hurt as I walked the road of recovery - one which I may mention, I wasn’t sure was possible.
It's upsetting that I don't even know who I am anymore...
At the time, I wasn’t sure if it were a curse or a blessing to be alive, but to this day... I'm still trying to figure that out.
Sometimes, I regret my actions and what I say. If I could take it all back... and not hurt the ones I love, then
I would.
