i dont think this house ever felt like home. i look around and everything is completely unfamiliar. my mother doesnt even look at me like i'm the same kid anymore. it's entirely fair on her part, i don't feel like the same person anymore either. my bedroom used to feel so huge, and now i feel like i barely fit inside. everything is foreign. i scrape against the sides of the box they put me in and it numbs me. i look at all of the things strewn about. all of the items i've lovingly collected over the years. all of the little pieces of history i've catalogued. and i feel nothing. nothing at all.
