Prologue
Memories of them keep popping up in my head. These emotions are are so frustrating, just a single touch of someone else and I have to see their life too. Not just their life but their emotions and feelings. Human emotions are... how do I even put it into words?
My head is in the palms of my hands as I rubbed my eye's furiously. I haven't slept in days because of these emotions. They seem to radiate from everyone around me, why do I have to go through this?
Sitting up in my bed I can tell that Aunt Iris is asleep because that's the only time when the human mind rests and the emotions aren't as radiant, unless the person is having a nightmare. Thankfully for me Aunt Iris wasn't having a nightmare.
The emotions are like a magnetic field, the emotions radiate from the person and in this case I am the magnet. I feel like I'm being pulled towards the person and I can't help but look into their emotions. It puts me in awkward situations when I suddenly have my hand on someone who is going through deeper emotions and I'm paralyzed, not even being able to answer the person questioning me. I mean how would you feel if a random girl puts her hand on you're shoulder, especially when the person is annoyed and has a bad temper. Half the time I don't remember the person but only the memories and emotions they are facing. On top of that the whole thing just makes me forget so much. I even have to take medications for the memory.. so frustrating.
I was getting angry now but soon that anger turned into silent sobs in the night feeling lonely in this big world of emotions and feelings.
"Mom, Dad, how do I keep going when everything is so overwhelming...why aren't you here?", was the only words I uttered through my sobs that were kept silent scared that Aunt Iris might wake up in the next room.
