I've sought lots of escapes from those too-real memories, and isn't it somehow the smells(for me alcohol on the breath) that seem to bring them back the worst...there is no closure, I think, even the coffin, except living long enough to scar over and build your own life.

Once, when I was much younger, I got high in an effort to sort of melt into my day. Unfortunately, I found myself even more uncomfortable in my altered reality, and I couldn't escape it. I had to wait it out. It would suck to try to dodge a ghost with drugs only to find him looming larger. Good write.Brandee Shaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08960175760263515363noreply@blogger.com
