Erased

Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome 🤗

I woke up in the world where no one remembered me. It seems as if my whole existence had been wiped away from the memory of everyone around me. It felt like those movies where a character's memories are wiped clean, but in this case, I was the one that was wiped out from the memory of everyone.

Confused and still trying to figure out what was going on, I sighted my best friend Amanda walking towards me. I felt a surge of excitement within me because I was convinced that at least she would remember me. After all, we had been friends since childhood, and our friendship had endured through the years.

As she walked towards my direction, the memories of all the time we had shared together flooded my mind. I recalled the day we first met in kindergarten. Amanda was a crybaby; the other kids were laughing and making a jest of her, and I stood up for her. Then I offered her my candy to calm her down. From that moment on, our connection grew, and we became the best of friends.

I would say we became sisters because we were inseparable. We attended the same schools, navigated the challenges of adolescence together, and eventually, because of our friendship, our families became very close.

But as Amanda drew closer, to my greatest surprise she passed over me as if she didn't recognize me, not even a glance. It was as if I were a ghost or invisible.

I quickly rushed up to her. Hey, Amanda, it's me. Why did you walk past me like I am a total stranger? I exclaimed, hoping she would snap out of her forgetfulness. But she turned and looked at me with a confused expression."I am sorry, do I know you?" She asked politely, looking at me like I was some crazy lady.

It's me, your bestie. We have known each other for, like, forever. But Amanda's expression remained unchanged, and then I brought out my phone, trying to show her photos of ourselves together. But what I saw shook me to my core. There were no pictures of us together; it was just photos of me alone.

I tried reaching out to my family and other friends, but they all said they didn't know me and thought I was mad. It was at that moment a realization hit me like a ton of blocks that my existence had probably been wiped out of the surface of the earth.
