“It's always safe until something bad happens.”
“When something bad happens to us, especially when we are young, our brains will sometimes protect us from it until we are strong enough to deal with the issue. It's not uncommon for people to completely black out an experience for years and revisit it only when they feel safe enough to face it.”
“I stayed there sipping in that wrong air, until it filled my lungs with knowing that something bad was about to happen.”
“Nostalgia, as always, had wiped away the bad memories and magnified the good ones. no one was safe from its onslaught.”
“Why are you doing this to yourself? When something bad happens, why do you have to pick at it until it bleeds all over again?”
“And sometimes you do everything right and something bad just happens. It's as simple, and as scary, as that.”
