Every day, when I wake up, I have the same thought. Will this ever end? How long until it last? I feel tired when I see the rising sun. Everything feels so...empty and dull and monochrome. Are they alive? Am I alive? The world just seems like it's stopped, or maybe I did. I don't know anymore. It's almost too hard to breathe. I can't feel myself. I feel too numb to differentiate between my mind and others. Am I too quite or is the world is too loud? I look in the mirror every morning and smile. An almost too real smile that's hard for people to tell apart from the fake one. It's something I do to make myself feel a little more lively. "Is this life?" I ask myself in the mirror. This doesn't seem as good on me as it looks on others. Seems like I ordered the wrong size. My eyes don't shine like them. I breathe, of course, but it doesn't seem like the right thing to do. Something feels so wrong about it like it's not supposed to happen. I have had this premonition for a long time now. I ignore it as much as I can, but it was too axiomatic to ignore. A part of me still want to try. It's fighting. Trying so hard for it's own life or rather mine. And so I decided to cut some slack for it. Today will be my the last shot, my final attempt to live...Therapy.

Altered

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
