" past lives are dangerous places to revisit. " - alex @ ana

the irony of the statement's not lost on her, though the taste in her mouth the words bring is far from pleasant. she's had many past lives. the perks of being immortal, yet it doesn't feel like one. more like a curse when the memories have a tendency to resurface at inconvenient times. her revisits are never intentional. it doesn't take much to take those walks down memory lane, the path well-worn. familiar and filled with more than just regret and suppressed fury. all of it locked away so she can pretend they're forgotten. nostalgia isn't a friend.
"that's why i don't. i've learned that if you bury your past self in a shallow grave, it doesn't require much digging." she'll be the first to admit she's guilty of holding that shovel a little too tightly, searching for lost pieces among the wreckage. no one ever believes there's nothing there worth finding; only hollow bones remained.
