A Trip to the Past

I guess this is it.

This is the reason why I've been so weird lately. I remembered a post a couple months back on my Sec 3/4 self, and true enough, history was repeating itself.

My results weren't exactly very good then, and in fact, I was on the brink of failing my O Levels. At that time I was so badly affected by my results, and coupled with a bad relationship with my father, I seemed to lose all hope. I started cutting myself after my mid-year exams, the angry, red scars covering the lengths of my arms.

I had always thought, by cutting myself, I was punishing myself, for all the stupid things I did.

Things took a turn for the worse when I scored 31 and 42 for my prelims respectively. The future was not looking bright.

Crying alone in the corner of an empty room, I contemplated how quickly everything would end if I jumped out the window. The grille was open, the sky beckoning me to try and fly away from everything.

I remember being split in half.

"Jump, jump, jump. Why don't you jump? It's so much easier that way."

"Why don't you just study and try your best for your O Levels?"

"With those results? Are you kidding? You'd just be wasting Mummy's money. Do her a favor and jump."

Things haven't changed. The feelings are still as strong as ever, except everything's in a different context.

I just.. need some time alone to think I guess.
