MOMIJI

There's this curse in my family where 12 members of my family, if they're hugged by the opposite sex they turn into one of the 12 zodiac animals. I'm the rabbit.

But the thing is…that mothers of the zodiac members either become overly protective or reject them completely.

My mama rejected me…She couldn't even look at me without breaking down…she got sick from it…She couldn't stand to think or see her child change even when she was just trying to hold them…

Papa thought it would be better if she had her memory erased so she had a chance of getting better.

Before she had her memory's were erased they asked her if it was really what she wanted, to forget, and if she would regret it. She told them…

The only regret I have is that that thing ever came out of my body…

And so her memories were erased…like they said, she slowly got better. In a month she could smile again…I went to go live with my aunt and now she thinks I'm someone else's child…

But…I never really wanted her to forget, I wanted her to keep trying, keep fighting…but I guess that was just selfish of me…I guess I'm thankfully she got better…

Even if that meant forgetting me...

For me
I want to go through life and bear the burdens of my memories
Even if they are very sad memories
Even if they are memories that only cause me pain
Even if they are memories that I may wish to be able to forget
If I don't run away and hang in and fight
If I hang in there and fight, one day......
One day, I believe I'll be able
To no longer be beaten by those memories.

And live remembering every thing that made stronger…
