THE BOY WHO FED ON NIGHTMARES

~

The Boy woke up from another awful Nightmare.

Bad memories from the past that he wanted to erase from his head.

were replayed in his dreams every night.

The Boy was terrified of falling asleep.

so one day, he went to the witch and begged.

'' please get rid of all my bad memories, so that i won't ever have a Nightmare again. Then i will do everything you ask.''

years went by. and the Boy became an adult. He no longer had nightmares.

But for some strange reason, he wans't happy at all.

one night, a blood moon filled the night sky, and the witch finally showed up again.

to take what he had promised in return for granting his wish.

and he shouted at her with so much resentment.

'' All my bad memories are gone. But why why can't i become happy ? ''

the the witch took his Soul, as they had promised, and told him this.

''hurtful, painful memories. Memories of Deep regrets. Memories of hurting others and being hurt.

Only those such memories buried in their hearts.

can become stronger, more passlonate, and emotionally flexible.

And only those can attain happiness

so don't Forget any of it.

Remember it all and overcome it. if you don't overcome it,

you'll Always be a kid whose Soul never grows.
