I'm still here, I still exist, that means you still turn into me ❃
I'm haunted by the phantom of my future, and the worst of it has yet to rear its ugly head. Nightmares plague my every sleep; I'm mentally exhausted and physically weakened, completely terrified of the ghost of myself that I might become if I give in to what's easy. As I approach my 24th birthday, I wonder how truly different I can possibly be from the alternate version of myself that's tucked away Outside of Time. I think about becoming him, and I ask myself how bad it could really be. I question if that reality is as inescapable as he once claimed; it certainly feels like it now. Or maybe I'm wrong about all of it, and the only remaining option is giving up the ghost.
