The Sun Shines Brighter in the West

It’s not something that I like to talk about. I don’t even like thinking about it, but it clouds my mind every second of the day. After two years, the memory still hurts. The emotions still possess me and have turned me into someone that I never wanted to be. Most people would guess that after my experience, I’m probably close to a walking, talking zombie but that’s not the truth. I think being a numb zombie would be much more bearable, in fact. Unfortunately, I’m the opposite. I feel every emotion stronger than I ever did before. Every emotion I associate back to my experience and it makes everything more intense than it really is. It’s almost like I lost one of my senses and another one improved.

Like I lost my soul and now my emotions are taking over my body.

Possessed by a memory.
