Chapter 49

When I thought all the bullying I experienced was now just a thing in the past, my mind reminded me of the harsh reality I was once in. So I never actually escaped from its grasp. I was just given temporary freedom to shatter the false peace I yearned for and thought I finally achieved.

Is there really no way of escaping from the hellish nightmares I have? But haven't I faced my past already and decided to live with it, so why am I being haunted by my past I did not even wish for?!

"The past is a very determined ghost, haunting every chance it gets."

(Quote by Laura Miller)

"It can't be changed, forgotten, edited, or erased; it can only be accepted."

But that's exactly what I did, accept my past and decide to live on with it. So why is it haunting me? Why are my nightmares coming back to me when I thought I'd overcome them not so long ago?
