Distortion

The longer the memories linger, the more distorted it can get. You put more spice to it. Sometimes it get worst overtime, you put more drama in your head. Past can be clouded with your mixed emotions and unresolved trauma.

That's why the faster you finish it the faster you can heal or the wound can get deeper and deeper. The closure won't come from other people. The closure is within you. You need to remember, the more distorted the memories the darker it gets. You need to realize that. Accept the memories as it is. 

It's done and it finished, even seconds after it happened. Life goes on and so are you. Chin up .
