Family Ties

ARWAN

My life has been shit lately.

I'm really trying to put things into perspective and not let the intensity of my emotions engulf me, but it's getting more and more complicated. I feel like every second is swallowing me up in my own misery, and I don't know how to escape it.

Everything inside me is so confused, too; I'm struggling to understand what's really going on. Everything is so scattered and muddled that I don't know anything any more.

Sitting at my desk, I try desperately to study for my next exam before I have to go to work, but it's no use: I just can't do it. No matter how hard I try, I keep getting stuck on the same thought—or rather, the same person.

And I try really hard to stop it and think about something else, but undeniably, she stays in my head. No matter how much I train, study or listen to music, she's always there, torturing me to the point where I don't even know if I'm hallucinating.
